It is not hard to watch

It is different - it is not the same level of higher, farther, faster of men's bball and the strategy/tactics are a little different. But it is the Hokies - and they are very talented. That's why I watch. I'll always watch Hokies sports - regardless of what level of competition or league they play in - in whatever sport. This is kinda related to my CFB vs NFL debate. Not sure of the future of CFB (outside of the Hokies) for me - in general. They are becoming (yes it has for a while) nothing but professionals - nothing intrinsically wrong with that. But I enjoyed at least a portion of them being true student athletes (yes you have a few here and there now), not them having the entitlement attitude - i.e. look at the way many football recruits treat their recruitment process vs the way the softball players act when receiving the equipment that VTChip makes happen. I want to watch the ones that want to be Hokies first, then athletes. Those that don't? that's fine, their prerogative - and mine not to be as big a fan of that. If I'm going to watch entitled pros - I'll watch the best pros, not the B-teams in college. Sorry hijacked a WBB board/post - Go Hokies! Beat LSU!

10 years ago someone making 3 threes a game was unique.

Way more competitive teams and depth than in the relatively recent past.**

From a basketball quality standpoint it's hard to watch...

I disagree. I guess I just adjust my frame of reference

Hard for me to follow a 99 percent decrease in skill and athleticism
hokierevisionist 03/27/23 11:15 PM ET
I find it fun to watch, the game is played below the rim

Then why watch college ball? Why not NBA?**

That gap has closed in last 10 years @nd it’s no where near 99% **

It’s gotten better but the gap is still Grand Canyon wide & about the same

Are you suggesting that there is a 99% decrease in shooting skill?
