northpaw Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Anyone else annoyed by the amount of dunking going on in college basketball? I liked college ball when it was still pure basketball but its straying away from that. ESPN glorifies it too. Every night 6 of the top 10 plays are college hoops dunks that arent even that impressive. just ranting is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Dunking is part of the game. I love watching these athletes fly around the court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryrat Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Part of the enjoyment of pro/college athletes, is seeing them do things that regular folk cannot. Mr. Marbles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorQuiz Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I swear to you, when I first saw this topic's "title" I thought it said "Too Much Drinking in College." I was about to say "Hey, this thread might explain my grades from Sophomore and Junior years!" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerBs Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I thought the exact same thing. I clicked on it thinking it was going to be about "drinking" in college. Then I read the post. Boy was I confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogar84 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I like to see good passing and team play not dunking. Also the refs could tone down calling so many fouls early in the half because the amount of these games becoming free-throw-a-thons is becoming an unwatchable joke. ROY HIBBERT SUCKS!!!!!

Did you see the Duke/UNC game last week? I swear there was maybe 5 fouls called the entire game. It was crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryrat Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I hate at the end of games, when the final 50 seconds of game clock takes 15 minutes because of all of the fouls and free throws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timay Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I hate at the end of games, when the final 50 seconds of game clock takes 15 minutes because of all of the fouls and free throws. the last 2 minutes of a CLOSE college basketball game are what make college basketball so popular, especially if it's your team on the ropes, and they end up comming back and winning in that last 2 minutes. Nothing like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryrat Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I love close college games... but I think its hack that someone can foul their way to victory. Every other sport, fouls hurt you. In basketball, they are an advantage to you at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonj92 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I think its hack that someone can foul their way to victory. Every other sport, fouls hurt you. In basketball, they are an advantage to you at times. Maybe if they made it free throw dunks. But then everyone would be hacking EMU alumn Earl Boykins.

dannyt Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Raise the rim to 13 ft. OR count dunks only as 1 point. We'd have less hot shots and more basketball players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
