I prefer to watch college basketball over NBA.. I'm one of those who watch an NBA game, and hte it because half the time it looks like they aren't playing defense.. or not very hard atleast. And with college basketball, your always getting fresh faces.. different team rankings each year (unless your kentucky.. which like in the OP, I'm BBN proud)..
All that said, I was actually a little disappointed in Kentuckys first game against Grand Canyon.. Idk, just thought they would have won by more. Not to say a 30-40 pt route (I forget which) isn't complete domination.. they just started playing sloppy. Perhaps, to try and not overkill the ball game, but they could have ust as easily held onto the ball longer, ad given full effort on every shot. All in all, even as a Kentucky supporter.. I'm used to the days when Ketnucky had to scrap and claw their way to get to a tourney championship.. and now.. Everyone just expects them to be here due to all the recruited talent.. From underdog, to "The Machine" to which all others must rage.. Reminds me of when I was a Patriots fan during their first superbowl win in the new millennium.. Didnt take long for everyone to hop on the badnwagon, and an even shorter period of time before everyone began to hate them for the dominance.. Such is the way of sports, I suppose.
A lot of other teams looking pretty good.. Duke and Florida both put on impressive performances.. Didnt get to see Louisville, Kansas, or Wisconsin play.. Definitely looking forward to seeing Kentucky take on Kansas here soon. Should be interesting to see where they actually stand.
