But it doesn't explain why I don't enjoy watching Duke, UCONN, Michigan, St. Johns, Arizona, Michigan State, etc. When we were bad under Archie, I could easily compartmentalize and still stay tuned into the overall MBB season. Now, I've barely watched 3-4 non-IU games all year and have missed more IU games than ever.
I'm also struggling to watch as much BB as I normally did. I used to watch games every night and bounce around between them, but this year has been different. I started out strong but as soon as conference play started, it fell to basically watching a few B1G games and nothing really outside of the conference. I tried to watch Kansas and Baylor last Friday and just couldn't do it. It wasn't good ball. Texas and UK held my attention a little better last night, but the only thing either team did well was shoot foul shots.
You can't turn rosters like they do every year and expect teams to play well. It's just turned into a mediocre product.
We need both sports to be good and there's no reason they can't be.
Diligence is the mother of good luck. Plough deep while sluggards sleep and you shall have corn to sell and keep. Work as if you were to live 100 years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow. All progress springs from work. Work has laid the foundation of every fortune in America. – Benjamin Franklin

I have always liked football over basketball. Perhaps because I played FB in HS and could never make the BB team. I certainly enjoyed the year IU was good in BB and had season tickets for years but not as long as FB.
