What's wrong with CBB these days?

Post by bonarae »

If you were observing games over the years and noticed different trends in college basketball that are inexplicably different from the NBA and European leagues, this might explain why.

All the Ivy League needs to become relevant again is to diversify its OOC schedule.

I thought it was a great article - read it the other day.

I think a lower shot clock has to happen - at least lower it to 30 seconds, maybe even lower. And I like the idea of widening the lane and moving the 3pt line out a little more again. Neither of those have to be to NBA dimensions, but at least bigger than now. Anything to free up the lane. And I do like the idea of making the blocking circle under the basket much bigger - it is way too tiny as it is.
