Some guy has introduced a Wachability Index, which ranks teams by how "exciting" their offense is. That means, don't work down into the shot clock, don't be patient for a good shot, just jack up a three-point shot, or live off the fast break. That is "exciting." Defense is not "exciting." Virginia is not "exciting." They just win.
Hey, bud: the reason Virginia can run down the clock each possession is that they are confident that their offense is more efficient than yours and that their defense is better than yours. They are going to make better use of the shots they get than you will, so they are not afraid to play the basketball version of Chicken. "We can stop you better than you can stop us, and we will score more points per possession than you will." Isn't that what basketball is all about? Evidently not. Evidently the only thing that matters is how points you score, even if the other team scores more points.
This guy needs just to go to the local gym or playground where defense doesn't matter at all and they all shoot as soon as they cross the halfcourt line. He makes me tired.
