What do you miss?

Multiple mid major conference schools being really good.
Not just tourney Cinderella's. But during regular season. With All Americans and high draft picks.

Unlv. Western. VCU. Uncc. Temple. St Josephs. Memphis State. DePaul. Tulane. Marquette.

Theoretically, Louisville even.

I miss the days when it wasn't all about either getting a three point shot or getting to the rim.

The art of of working for the right mid-range shot ...and developing signature mid-range moves ...is largely lost from today's game. And a lot of former mid-range masters like Goose Givens would be considered of little worth by today's analytics.

A good game on Super Bowl Sunday

Playing a good ooc team on the road.

Playing a good ooc team at home

Playing some other country's Olympic team

Basically when the schedule was interesting instead of only a means for Mitch to maximize every dollar.

US Olympic team made up of college players

The intros where the players alternated from each team and shook hands at mid court.
 
Having paper brackets that you could hold in your hands.

No 3pt line. No shot clock.
Mears and Smith kind of made the shot clock necessary. Goodness, I hated that 4 corner crap they played. I remember a UK / Cincinnati game in 70s where the score was like 25- 16 or something. I miss some of the old arenas, Stokley , Memorial, the old Barnhill Arena

When Rupp wasn't full of a bunch of blue hairs that just want to sit on their ass and be quiet as a church mouse. Was that ever a thing or am I just romanticizing the past?
