Team identity is rare because of constant roster turnover so there's less for fans to feel attached to
BUT the number of guys in the game who are given freedom to just create their own shot and can create their own shot has gone way up
as far the SEC goes we are currently in a golden age era of SEC basketball where this year feels a bit down because all our best teams are in the 10-20 range where as last year they were all over the top ten
there is a general sense of give a damn throughout the entire league that frankly didn't exist before........ let's just put Bruce Pearl being hired at Auburn as the Rubicon
women's basketball as an important institution hasn't quite hit the levels throughout the league, but Tennessee and South Carolina are now institutions and schools like State have shown an abilit to compete
I can't tell you how you to feel about style of play but in this part of the world it has literally never been better as far as production being achieved and conference wide resources being poured in

LSU used to make the tournament and go on runs somewhat regularly 20+ years ago so yes!

And the winningest team in the country from 76 to 96 Arkansas.

quote:Yes. Referees have ruined the game. Not as many games were televised 20 years ago. Most are now and the referees make it about themselves.
Was college hoops better 20+ years ago?

If Billy Richmond and Karter could hand check, we’d be lethal.

College Basketball 20 years or so ago was mediocre at best. The best high school players and many fringe guys went straight to the NBA, meaning you did not have the best players in college. The Bama and Mississippi St. teams that were at the top for several years would get boat raced by nearly every team in the current SEC.
Florida capitalized on recruiting 3 star players and keeping them for several years to build cohesion. Those teams would still do damage, but the overwhelming majority of early aught teams would be awful.
