I miss college basketball of the 1980s

This was just bad basketball tonight.

Refs in the 2nd half killed any flow with the whistle-fest.

Outside of officiating, like a lot of this tourney, I thought it was entertainment at its best.

Refs have been put in an awful spot the last few years.

The Big Ten in the '80s was so good.

The Big Ten in the '80s was so good.

Late 80's and early to mid 90's was the best era I can remember in the big ten.

Even minus the officiating, both teams looked horrible last night. Gonzaga was down 1 point and putting up terrible shots like they were down 10 with a minute to go.

Not impressed at all with the coaching in that game from either side, watching it was like getting beat with a rolling pin, not that I know anything about that.

That was definitely the UNC team IU beat.

Watch the 30 for 30 show Survive and Advance and remind yourself how good the ACC was in the 80s.

The main reason it was so much better was that everybody stayed 3 or 4 years. I also think shorting the shot clock to 30 seconds leads to a lot more rush shots and kids having to take bad shots. Scoring was usually higher pre shot clock than it was with the shot clock until this year.

Somebody misses short shorts.

Somebody misses short shorts.

No, just how much better the product was on the court is what I miss.
