College basketball will miss the one-and-dones. This lackluster season is proof.


This is the tapas menu of college basketball seasons: full of delicious small portions but no main dish. Despite ideal parity on the men’s side, it falls short of compelling. Entertaining? No doubt. Engrossing? Not quite. All the upsets, turbulent top 25 polls, and fresh Final Four contenders have not elevated it in the manner a transcendent player or dominant team would. (Washington Post)
