Thanks for your comments. I'm glad to see it's not my imagination that the state of college basketball has declined ALOT over the past decade and a half.

Top 16 College Basketball Teams of All Time

Posted by MonroeTiger80 on 3/22/13 at 10:52 am

This list was compiled by CBS Sports last spring (3/2012) and it's no surprise given the state of college basketball today that no national champion after Kentucky's 1996 championship squad made the cut.

LINK

When I think back to the level of basketball played in previous national championship games between the likes of a UNC squad that featured James Worthy, Sam Perkins and a freshman Michael Jordan vs Georgetown's Patrick Ewing and Co. or Duke vs the great UNLV teams, etc. etc, it's apparent today's NCAA basketball has fallen on bleak times.

I love watching the tourney but I agree. The quality of the play is horrible compared to what it used to be.

I used to look forward to the tourney with great anticipation. The last few years not so much.

The fundamentals of the game seem to have gone by the wayside. Postmen don't know how to start a fast break and instead try to dribble the length of the court and either have the ball stolen or lose the dribble themselves. Layups and simple shots from 10-15 feet seem to be nearly as challenging as shots from 25 feet used to be. Both the UNLV/Cal game and the Arizona/Belmont games were good examples of this. It felt like I was watching what would have in the past been not very good high school teams.

College basketball is almost unwatchable

Posted by MonroeTiger80 on 3/21/13 at 9:01 pm

5 seed UNLV misses 14 shots in a row from the field, can't make free throws and opponent Cal isn't much better.

1 seed Gonzaga almost loses to a SWAC school, 3 seed Marquette needs a last second shot to beat a 14 seed and horrible shooting from almost every team I watched today.

The game is a shadow of what it was 20 years ago.

Bo is the only athlete named to the Pro Bowl and the MLB All-Star game in the same year.

He was the MVP in that All-Star game hitting a leadoff homer in the 1st inning.

Deion was at best a journeyman baseball player.

Bo = the GOAT

Bo Jackson and it's not even close.

MLB hall of famer George Brett thought Bo was a 500 homer guy and a cinch to the Hall of Fame if he'd have played baseball exclusively.

Likewise, NFL opponents thought if Bo had played football only and stayed healthy he would have been all-pro multiple times and been a first ballot inductee in Canton.

No other person that I know of has seriously been discussed as a hall of famer in two professional sports. Certainly not Deion Sanders,

Hence Bo >>>>> Deion

That was my thinking when the news of the girlfriend fakery first broke. Why would an all-American linebacker destined to make millions as a 1st round draft choice need the internet to find a girlfriend......unless he is gay and needed to create the illusion of a girlfriend.

For my money, the whole fake girlfriend dying thing were it not found out would have accomplished two things: (1)tugged the heartstrings of certain Heisman voters thus improving his chances at the award, which by the way he would have won if not for the emergence of JFF and (2) covered up the likelihood he is gay.

Did Mingo go through a huge growth spurt as a sophomore? Did he move to town or transfer from somewhere else? I'm just curious why he seemed to pop up our of nowhere onto the coaches radar and play his first football as a high school junior.

Some ranters they call other peopke idiots and they are just ignorant ! The other day some ranter said Mingo ran a 21.8 in the 200 meters in high school like that's a bad time?

It's an awesome time and can't be correct it would mean he ran 40 yards in 4 seconds flat in a 200 meters! By my math

21.8/218= .1 x 40 = .4 seconds in the 40 but he, Mingo, ran this in a 200 meter race if this is true he is incredible!!!

I know it's very simple math but I'm getting old if I made a mistake please let me know . If any one can confirm this time in the 200 meters by mingo please let me know.

It's true that Mingo was strictly a track guy until the football coaches at West Monroe noticed he had just a tad of raw football potential, too. Maybe as a freshman or sophomore? 21.8 would be a nice time. Maybe JJ or one of the other West Monroe guys who knows the details can chime in.
