Title: Lopsided games
Post by: rocky_warrior on January 18, 2007, 12:02:32 PM
Is it just me, or are we seeing a lot of lopsided games this year in NCAA hoops?  And I don't just mean by the higher ranked teams - in fact - lots of them are losing by large margins.  Like the past few days - 'nova stomps ND, Vandy runs over Bama, South Carolina shatters two decades old losing margin records in a matter of days...

Not to completely discount competitive games - because there are still plenty of those - but it seems the number of blowouts have gone up.

Everybody talks about parity - but this particular phenomena is strange.  Maybe everyone has more talent, but play is more erratic?  Maybe it's strategies, or coaches, or just home court advantages?

Anyhow, just something that I noticed, and wanted to see if others had thoughts on it.  Or perhaps I'm making too much of it, and it's always been there  :-\

Sure would be nice to have one of those lopsided wins.  How about a lopsided win on Sunday?

just to throw out a contradiction.

OSU v. Texas - 3OT

anyone wathc this game?? it was ridiculious.  Durant hitting shots like an experienced senior (hes a frosh) he can work it from the post, point or wing.  Hes got tyrus thomas type of althleticism (probly a little less) got the handles and the shot.  I gotta say that OSU woulda won alot earlier if they had a pointwho could break the press.

i'd consider our thrashing of west virginia to be a pretty lopsided victory...
