What Went Down In The First Round Of The NCAA Tournament

You’re right, Jared, that officiating is a big factor, too. I’d add that in addition to the overall quality lacking at the college level, there’s a ton of annoying variability between the leagues, in my opinion.

How similar stylistically are these college offenses to one another? NBA shot distribution has become homogenous, but watching the Jazz and the Sixers, for example, you would not think they are playing close to the same way.

To be fair, even when Duke loses, you’re likely to be watching at least a couple lottery picks and maybe a future All Star.
