Your constant complaining, the game, the players, the coaches, the announcers, the fans.Always complaining that they aren’t what they used to be, or what they should be.

I don't criticize the players at all but the coaches who runs this terrible style of offense. There is no creativity and everyone runs the same stuff so it is easy to defend. I blame the system where all the good players leave after a year and now all the transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2012 when Indiana and Kentucky played in the sweet 16 that game was 90 to 102 in 40 minutes. I believed with every bone in my body that P5 NCAA basketball was gonna be a bunch of games in the 90s. How horribly wrong was I...😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want us to be competitive. That said you are talking about how the game is played. The game has passed you by. For better or worse those days aren’t coming back. You can move on and enjoy what is good about the game now or be miserable and complain it doesn’t live up to what you believe was a better version. IU could get back to winning games….but college basketball as a whole will never play the way it used to. The game has evolved. You can say for the worse if you want….your perogative if you want. AAU, NIL, NBA feeding down….etc but the difference is sports rarely looks back…it’s like the NFL….you can scream for them to allow secondary to hold and impede and offenses to run the ball 40-50 times a game but those days aren’t coming back. You can pray for the NBA to go back to clash of the titans and become center/post oriented basketball etc…it just won’t matter. Not here to say you can’t be right about some things…just that you are howling at the moon my friend. Might give it a rest…the neighbors are getting tired of your barking keeping them up when they are trying to enjoy a quiet evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) Being a sports fan is hard. If your pro team is 'average' they win a championship every 30 years. That's an average of 2 per a normal lifetime. For college sports, the math is a little fuzzier since the # of teams fluctuates per sport, and some teams really have no shot.
