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...
