In many ways, College Basketball is the greatest of all TV sports. First, it beats the crap out of NBA basketball because college teams really play like teams and don't jake it on the way to the playoffs, like NBA teams do. Secondly, when conference play starts there are fantastic rivalries, and growing parity which makes for absolutely great regular season competition.

As readers know, I also love college football above the standard NFL product. In college hoops, as in college football, it's fun to see coaches build programs, and great to see kids play their hearts out. College Hoops holds a slight advantage in TV terms because the games are shorter (thus you can watch more of them!), and the action fits the screen a little better. Enjoy!
