NCAA looks nothing like the NBA in style, sets run or the type of defenses are played. You cannot run a 2-3 in the NBA the way you do in college.

Actually, they are very similar in a lot of the things they do...

It is the same sport, but not in how the game is coached. There is much more ball movement and player movement in NCAA basketball. That has been the case as long as I can remember. Many teams do not even use the pick and roll in college at all.

That may be true as"long as you can remember", but stop looking at 15 years ago and think only of the games in the last two years or so...in fact, think of just the Final Four this year. Think of how many times Michigan pulled one of their posts out to set a high screen for the point guard against the 2-3 zone.

Well I have been watching college basketball a lot longer than 15 years. Not sure you know how old I am, but I am not in my 20s.

Also Michigan in the semifinal scored 61 points and would have scored 70 or more if you just consider FTs missed.

And they really scored points in the Championship game with the score 82-76.

Don't give a rat's rear end how old you are.

And how many points were scored in the championship game has nothing to do with the original points I brought up, so who cares...

To review...Imo, the NCAA game has become too much like the NBA game.
