Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

That the NBA is about star individuals while college basketball is still, at least to a greater extent, about teams, is exactly why some of us are so much more interested in college basketball. (That the team component is stronger in the women's game is a big part of the reason I go to some of the requisite trouble to follow that edition of the sport; Princeton's men's team has also been characterized by a team setting up plays, which is why I was a fan even before I spent time there. I would imagine that a majority of the time I have spent listening to basketball on the radio over my lifetime was listening to Princeton games while I was there; what the game doesn't lose over the radio is exactly what that team has.)
