Unless Pitt is playing (and they're not) I am uninterested in college basketball. The game is so different from the NBA, which I follow closely. Two halves, not four quarters; different overall game time, I don't even know how many minutes there are in college ball (40?); longer shot clock, slower game, B-O-R-I-N-G; shorter three-point distance; seemingly (I don't know for sure) more and longer times-out; different foul rules; and every goddamned college basketball game that is "close" turns into a foul-shooting contest down the stretch. B-O-R-I-N-G.
