Watered Down March Madness?

They were talking on the radio today about the UNLV documentary and brought up this exact topic. There was a clip from the UNLV/Ga Tech semi-final matchup where Ga Tech had Anderson, Scott, Oliver and Mackey on the floor against Anthony, Scurry, Ackles, Augmon and Johnson . . . 9 out of the 10 players on the floor played in the NBA.

The top teams are just nowhere near as deep and dominant as they were 20 years ago.

lack of any real post play to provide some consistency has led to this made up idea about parity. Bottom line is that the fickle 3 point line now drives more outcomes, but has nothing to do with parity.
