Todays college game isn't nearly as good as it was then. The 3 point shot has become too big a part of the game. I don't mind a shot clock, but 35 seconds is too quick. If they made it a 60 second shot clock, that would be alright with me. When the 3's are falling, it's great, but when they aren't, the game gets too ragged. There used to be a grace in basketball that is completely gone. I loved pro ball in the 60s and 70s, but today it is unwatchable
i agree todays game sucks. But 15-20 yrs ago much better. so passing the ball around for 7 minutes in the 2nd half after you get up by 4 makes you a good team? Thats pathetic! The run and gun teams of the 80's and early 90's(UNLV, OU, Arkansas, etc) would have DESTROYED UNC of 76. Bunch of stiffs!
@cedriclovesaaron Why does a three point shot and a time clock have anything to do with how good a team is? The current college game is a joke. Run up and down the court and and shoot three pointers. Wow, what a great game! The current college game at the quality level of a semi-organized pick-up game.

1976 was the last year with a prohibitive favorite. In 1977, it was wide open for the first time since 1966.

this is worse than the "Mythical National Championships" in college football. THere were no 3 pt line or shot clock. These teams were a joke.
