Last 5 minutes, NBA. Rest of the game is too long, no crowd emotion, etc.
NCAA as a full game is generally more entertaining but there must be two teams that can actually execute on offense which is becoming increasingly rare. 1st halves of NCAA games are pretty much as unwatchable as the first 40 minutes of an NBA game, although the crowd makes it somewhat palatable. Problem is, the talent and lack of playmakers do not.
I like defense, change of sets, frustrating offense, etc. I hate one-on-one basketball, it's not an enjoyable thing for me to watch. I enjoy 1-3-1, 2-3 zones, box and 1, etc but that doesn't likely sell $100+ tickets 82 times a year. I don't enjoy dribbling the ball off the foot with the game on the line which unfortunately is what college has become.
I surely don't enjoy 7 game series between 60+ win teams and under .500 teams.
So.....neither. March Madness is the best event between them all and it's not what it used to be, less heroics these days.
