Awful Final 4 and championship game in D-1. Every game won by large margins, mostly 20 points. Last night's game was clearly the worst championship I've seen since UConn beat Butler badly with Butler shooting 30 percent or less. I applaud the fine Villanova program and I like the Michigan coach, but do the Wolverines have any plays besides pick-and-roll or drive one-on-one to the hoop.
There are lots of reasons I'm pulling away from D-1 hoop: scandals, one-and-done, greedy coaches, greedy players, etc. The D2 Elite 8 had no blowouts and several close games. The D2 games I watched this year I could actually see sets run and executed. Obviously D-1 is where the talent is, but it's not fun anymore. This year was the worst ... and I don't care how far Loyola-Chicago went or that UMBC played well for one game.
