STAT would be the leading scorer most of the time, but to be honest it could be any player 1-8, 867 points

btw here is how the game would go, Phoenix opens on a 21-1 run, forcing duke to play their style, making the shot clock no longer matter

I don't really understand how anyone could watch the two games, study the two games, and think otherwise.
College defenses have to stop offensive sets that have 35 seconds to work with to obtain a quality shot. In addition, there are no illegal defenses. The off-the-ball motion on both defense and offense is much more a part of the game in college ball. Pro ball seems to always boil down to isolate and use superior match-ups.

I'm struggling for words here as I don't understand how one cannot view the college game as more complex. I'm baffled. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] It's in the structure of the rules themselves.

MT2R,

Big men cannot protect the rim as easily because of defensive 3-seconds.

This is a huge deal, but the NBA doesn't call it on Alonzo Mourning because D. Stern thinks he is a feel good story and likes the fact that he leads the league in blocks.

Arenas would be called for traveling no fewer than 10 times in the first half.

Every Duke player for the past decade has pretty much been NBA caliber or very close to it.

The game is 8 minutes shorter.

Shot clock is 11 seconds longer, meaning theoretically fewer shots should be taken.

No continuation, no defensive 3 seconds.

Shorter 3 point line.

He'd score 25.
