To you and others its boring but to a lot of people who pay to watch it in person or watch it on TV its massively popular. Now i will note that College Basketball has gone down in quality because of the AAU street style ball they teach in highschool but the college game is still solidly good. The one thing that many people may not like about collegiate or pro is that with so many games a team has time and chances to correct itself and a few loses in a row doesn’t kill the team and so a regular season isn’t so crucial whereas football, every game matters

Please understand that I respect the athleticism of basketball and all the people who play and coach and work in the world. I dated a college player back in the day. I love still shots of what their bodies can do; its graceful and strong.

I just cannot watch it for long. As a baby and child I went to a zillion games in Wooden’s Pauley Pavilion. I grew up in a home filled with basketball lovers. It just didn’t take for me. Give me a good hockey game and I’m at the edge of my seat.
