Message: [QUOTE="domestu, post: 248939, member: 1089"] The college hoops game has undergone many changes since the 1950s but there are also far fewer big men who concentrate on rebounding today. Players were only eligible for three years prior to 1973 and teams played a lot less games in the old days than they do now but they focused so much more on rebounding back then. Kevin Love is a throwback to the way big men used to play. I don't know if we will ever see college players challenge the post-1973 career rebounding numbers of Coleman and Duncan again because of the tendency of the best players to turn pro early. Today's college game has also changed in ways that inhibit scoring and rebounding. There are a lot more plodding low scoring contests in the Big East today than there used to be in the 1980s. Almost every team in this year's Big East Tournament played zone defenses and most of the games were very low scoring affairs. [/QUOTE]
