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

Once Jordan retired the second time, NBA pretty much lost all appeal to me too.

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?

^^^ this exactly.  A die-hard Tar Heel, especially during years with Phil Ford, "Sweet D" Walter Davis, and then Michael Jordan and James Worthy.  This weekend, I was able to watch the ACC final game, and not get even slightly nervous.  It felt weird.

A bunch of Hank Hills in here talking about the fundamentals lol.

My only problem is the one and dones. On one hand, I'm not mad at any of these players leaving early to get their money...but it is hard to really follow a team with the lineups constantly changing from year to year. You don't get to see a group of players grow together like you could awhile ago. Plus, these one and dones mess up the NBA. Teams are now drafting based on potential, instead of the safe pick that could help you right away. It takes a good 3-4 years before some of these picks pan out, and most of them don't. Some of these one and dones really need to stay in school a bit to perfect their craft, grow into their bodies, etc
