What does college basketball have that the NBA doesn't? This is a great question, that can be easily answered. College basketball has excitement. Plain and simple...excitement. Excitement leads to everything else. The tailgating, the body paint, the noise. Trying to shoot a free throw in pro at your opponents house is just like shooting one in your own house. In college, ask any player, they will swear to you that the backboard moves. They will also tell you that they are being yelled at, taunted at. You need to have GREAT concentration to play the college game. You must also be well conditioned for the college game, if you are not, you will pay, possibly with a big ol L on your schedule. The demands for college ball are much greater than for pro ball, and this is why we have great fans. So all I have left is to say 2 words. Go K-STATE.
