NBA, more talent, crazier plays, attacking the rim is common.

the only advantage that college has is that the audience is louder

I love watching college ball cus of the effort and passion.  Its kids who arent playin for the money.  Most of them will never even be in the NBA, so this is the pinnacle for them.  Theyre playing for the glory...not for their next contract.  So the shit is just exciting.  With that bein said...I still prefer NBA.  Obviously, the talent level is higher.  Plus, college basketball can be difficult to follow cus the players change constantly. Youre losing players to the NBA every year or so.

NBA- Best athletes and more exciting. Plus the good college athletes end up in the NBA.

College Basketball, no question.

new kids, every couple of years, change of power, more people given the chance to win the title; look at George Mason a few years ago.

you can watch the NBA to see the all-stars, but come playoff time it's going to be the Lakers, the Cavs, the Magic & Boston, with the chance of Dallas.

Kansas just went down yesterday, the number one overall seed in the game, because of the beautiful one & done system.

the intensity, the brackets, the rooting of the underdog, the crazy white kid who is going to be a doctor after this game who hits the game winning three, the fans going nuts, Mike Krzyzewski, Dick Vitale, cheerleaders, mascots, you name it, College ball has it! 8)

Casual NCAA fan. Hard to keep up with the regular season from Canada but when March Madness hits, I go nuts doing my research and filling out my bracket. I love March Madness way better than anytime during the NBA season, that's for sure. But I definitely keep up with NBA regular season than NCAA anything that isn't march madness lol.

MM is my 2nd favorite sports tourney period (besides the world cup)

i don't know about you guys, but my beef with the NBA is, the regular season is virtually pointless games.

you get a mid-January match-up of Cavs/Lakers; watching the two best basketball players on planet go head to head, but in the end, it doesn't really matter at all who the fuck wins because their both a lock for the Playoffs & shit.

last night i was watching Spurs/Hawks, great game, but i found myself really uninterested because it's like, who really gives a fuck?

the Conference Tournaments at the end of the NCAA season gives teams a chance to play great teams to earn a bid in the big dance, you see games where teams are playing for their lives opposed to "just another game" in the regular NBA season.

NBA, cuz  the whole league/association is smaller, i can name a starting line up in everyteam, but not in the NCAA, too many teams, and players come and go often, but NBA is the last stop. u see players improve in the best basketball league in the world.



honestly i like the regular season, it shows the strengths and weaknesses of our teams and lets us analyze better.

the Lakers have been to the last two Finals & will VERY likely make it again.

if the NBA Playoffs was one game that shit would be tight.

yea of course, i mean their the favorites, last years champs, and has the best basketball player in the world, with one of the best PFs in the league and with a 6-11 point forward, with one of the best centers in the league.

^so it's not "unpredictable" if the best team makes it lol.

i guarentee the Lakers make it out of the West & it will either be the Cavs or Magic out of the East.

if the NBA was done in bracket form, 85% of people would get it perfectly right because there are only four-five good teams in the entire league.

where nobody in the world came close to predicting the Final Four this year.

I love both. But the NBA playoff format, makes sure the best team wins...Too many flukes in the tourney which leaves us with lesser matchups in some instances

this year for example, the upsets were a little disappointing, you know?

i liked it when George Mason was the lone underdog & had to play the big boys, but this year it was a little ridiculous.

but my beef with the NBA is that they shove those best teams down your throat all year & you know they are the best & you know they'll wind up in the Finals.

sure, the Bobcats might be able to beat the Cavs once or twice, but you know they can't last seven games with them; it's almost a let down that the better team has so many chances to make up for fucking up in a game.

yeah but that produces the best team...is Butler really 1 of the 4 best teams in the country? I mean for real...
