I haven’t watched in years, but it seems like every attempt at a shot is a 3

Well, if you bomb enough 3s you don’t have to play defense.

1/2 court plus shot should be 5 pts. Turn the entire game into a Globetrotters exhibition

That’s not what has ruined college basketball. 142 fouls a game, 36 “reviews” a game, and games that last 2 hours and 45 minutes is what has ruined college basketball.

It’s the NBA too. NBA TV rating are down 50%. Several factors at play on why the ratings are down, but one of the primary factors is the game has become very stale, unoriginal, and bland with most games simply 3 point shot after 3 point shot.

The mid-range game that requires great skill is being taken out of the game making it boring to watch.

If you take off from half court and dunk it, 6 points

Missouri tried old school NBA one on one out of desperation two games ago and while it worked to a degree late in the second half against UF.

The better question is when did they stop calling moving screens.

I won’t name the player, but there was a guy who’d jack up open 3’s, miss them, and then transferred after his first year and blamed the coach.

I love the switching pivot feet, the palming and the three step Euro-step. Not.

Moving screens like three second violations are selectively called.

But my new favorites are the phantom fouls. The flops after jacking up an off balance three.

Don’t you have to go yell at the neighbors to get off your lawn?
