I agree the atmosphere isn't good at times, but college hoops atmosphere isn't good at times either.    The atmosphere at the Dome last night wasn't exactly off the charts.  And have you seen Depaul games?

There is something to this.  There are a decent amount of "schedule losses" in the NBA, those games where a team is playing their 4th game in 5 nights or whatever, and the other team maybe had 2 days off prior to the game and that team just has more energy.  But I really don't think there are a lot of half speed games; in the sense that the players are dogging it.  They may be beaten down by the schedule/travel, but the vast vast majority of the time, I see 100% from the guys on the court.   (And I agree 100% on the mid-range jumper thing; don't get me wrong, I love SU hoops, and college hoops in general, but there are times when it is just way too hard to make a bucket).

I think cutting the season down to 60-65 games would probably be for the best.  Maybe even 70 games. Get rid of a lot of the back to backs, 4 games in 5 nights, etc.  But neither side wants to give up the revenue.
