What Went Down In The First Round Of The NCAA Tournament

I guess one argument is that the NBA season is so grueling that guys have to take some regular-season games off. I don’t know, though. As the NBA gets more and more athletic and hypertalented and basketball grows in more and more places around the world, the talent disparity is a lot to overcome.

Hot tip: if you only watch Duke, it’s usually pretty darn close close to watching the NBA.

I agree with Santul about the college game. Division I teams range from 59.1 to 73.5 possessions per game in adjusted tempo, and teams took between 22.3 percent and 54.6 percent of baskets from 3-point range. You could tune in two nights in a row and see two totally different games.
