Basketball would be a lot more interesting if they spotted each team to 100 points and set the clock for 5 minutes.

I'd almost rather watch golf. Though, I must admit, the playoff atmosphere does make it fairly exciting.

College basketball was ruined by the shot clock and the three pointer. I don’t bother to watch anymore. No point in wasting time on an inferior version of what used to be a great game.

Like most sports, basketball isn’t worth watching until the playoffs. I’ll exclude the NBA. It is never worth watching. I was a diehard fan until about 1998, then haven’t found anything worth watching since. Ever since Jordan, each team feels like it needs a Jordan, so every time down the floor is just an exercise in 1 on 1 skills.
