The main problem is that the rules have changed over time to where every team plays "homie ball." If they still called traveling or carrying, the teams would have to play more organized and disciplined. Without organization and discipline it isn't surprising when a #9 homie ball team beats a #1.

I was willing to consider your point until you outed yourself as a racist.
This. I too can’t stand the carrying and traveling that is part of the modern game (guess most old timers feel this way?). But making it a race thing is just stupid.
And there is no denying the superior athleticism of today’s players.
This March Madness has been awesome. Upsets are great. I love all the people who talk about sports ball year round having busted brackets. I'm still in the top 10% on the site I used and it looks like I might beat my coworkers some of whom are huge sportsball fans.
These “upsets” are the product of the overall terrible level of play in college basketball. I watched Purdue-FD. FD were roughly twice as athletic. That Purdue could win enough games in a major conference to secure a one seed says it all.
De'Aaron Fox is 100000% right. College basketball is horrifically bad. No one can shoot. Scratch that; five dudes in a tournament of 10,000 teams can shoot from beyond 15 feet. The arzehole coaches get all the glory b/c, well, we know why.
If the Houston Rockets played a game against whoever wins this crapfest, the college "champion" would be lucky to remain within a 40-point margin of defeat.
Did you know that you can change the channel on your TV?
I only started watching the tournament because an old friend got me to fill out the Yahoo bracket challenge. I hadn’t seen a college game in years. As I watched Purdue and Farleigh whatever, I was reminded why.
At least they play as opposed to NBA & load management. NzvA is unwatchable.
The load management is a huge problem in the NBA. I totally agree on that. But the size, athleticism and skill level is just so much higher. NBA backups are much better than all but the very top college players.
