the shot clock in college hoops.....

Whaaaat? Are you one of those guys who thinks that the epitome of good basketball is that "four corners" keep-away carpola when there's less than five minutes in a two-possession game?

B-O-R-I-N-G! ! ! !

I think anything that makes basketball less like soccer is a good thing!
