Off Topic - Any Panther fans that USED to be NCAA BB fans?

Just wondering if I am alone. I used to love watching college hoops.  I used to watch a couple games a week and was all over the tournament.

 

I could care less now. Players are in and out so fast, it just seems like a waste of time to learn about anyone until they hit the NBA. 

 

Anyone else?

I used to enjoy it a whole lot more back in the late 80's/early 90's when I was really into it because you actually got to follow a team and watch as the players grew. Now, it's mostly a one, maybe 2, and done and move on to the NBA. There's really no point to following a college bb team anymore.

Ya I LOVE playing pickup games with guys that are 6'7" and can drain every jumper. 

I love playing for cardio but it is impossible when you can't stay on the court.

For a variety of reasons, the quality of the NCAA game has really declined relative to the NBA over the last couple of decades.  I used to follow it very closely but now I pretty much just follow the NBA.  Once you watch a lot of NBA games trying to watch NCAA basketball is pretty painful.

Used to be the opposite.

Yup.  I never really played basketball, but I grew up playing baseball.  fug that, I should have played soccer.  That definitely would have been my thing.  Feel like with my endurance and aggression I could have been a good RB

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
