What Happened to College Basketball?
Published: 1/18/2013 4:14 PM

The tournament is so big and good, the regular season doesn't mean all that much.

A few teams fight to get into the tournament -- that's interesting for those fans.

Seed jockeying takes place.

But on the whole, the regular college basketball season has lost its spark.

Around here, the Thunder has really hurt all the college crowds, and interest in the teams.

The best players aren't around long enough for us to get to know them.

Now it's on to what's really important: Who is best LeBron or Durant?

Will the Thunder win it all?

It's a tie! Durant is actually as good as LeBron! That's because KD has taken his game inside and is unstoppable all across the court.

Overall, it is a toss-up between Miami and OKC! As the two superstars are even, so are the two best teams. Miami actually looks short this season. D Wade has lost two steps. Westbrook tends to dominate the dogs and layer bricks against the better teams.

The home court advantage is of supreme importance.

Somebody be sure and honk when it's March so we can catch up with some college ball.

Tulsa has been irrelevant for a long time, sadly. Probably since the Missouri Valley days. At least since Bill Self. Danny needs another miracle.

Do Nazarenes do miracles?

If only. Not in 2000 years. Now, out at ORU, they are expecting one.

And you just made the case for the BCS. It makes every regular season game relevant. Playoffs diminish that greatly. We will have a 4 team playoff. Will it be enough or will there be a demand more? At what point is it too many teams?

LeBron vs KD is shaping up to be Bird vs Magic.
