Ten Things I love about College Hoops
10. The Attitudes
Fans, Players and Coaches are excited and want to win, how can you not love that!
9. The Cheerleaders
College Girls, enough said.
8. The Players
I like their intensity and that they wont give up no matter what team the play for. Many go on to the pros but the rest play for nothing other than the LOVE of the game.
7. The Coaches
Lots of legendary coaches have been at their schools for years. They stand for all the good things college athletics are about. The teach the players not just about basketball but about teamwork and how to act in real life.
6. Rivalries.
Tobacco Road, besides red sox and yankees, this matchup between North Carolina and Duke can turn a normal fan into a college hoops fanatic! Both schools have great coaching and teamwork which makes watching them play a real treat!
5. The Stadiums
They are PACKED every night with fans willing to stand by there team. If you are going to be in one of these stadiums like Illionis or Cameron Indoor, BRING EAR PLUGS!!!
4. The Conferences
All the teams are in equal conference to there skill. Unlike college football, EVERY conference gets a shot at the title. Imagine if the Big Sky made it to a BCS bowl? Well in college hoops even teams in the Patriot league like Holy Cross get to play with the big boys.
3.The Fans
RABID! I’ve already said too much. They dress crazy, act nuts and yell even louder. If I was a college hoops player, I would be freaked out to go next to a fan.
2. The Action
The intensity of the games even if your not a fan can excite you. When your watching the championship game and watching kids play there hearts out, you get to see what college hoops is all about. In the pro’s you expect the same things from the same teams, but in college hoops you CAN expect anything. The different styles from dunks and 3 pointers really make it unique
1. Cinderalla has a chance in the big dance
This is my number one thing I LOVE about college hoops, You can see teams like Umass or George Mason go against the best teams. Its simple, there is a huge field of teams and if you lose you go home. No Flukes, no you got lucky, just kids battling for the win. If you win, you keep playing and you can become a legend or just an average every day player and team. See you at the dance, which one are you gonna be???
