I chuckled at this and realized I AM an old man. I'm just not sure when and how it happened.
Pertaining to the evolution of college hoops: One aspect that seems phased out is the perimeter game. Players launch 3's or slash to the rim while often spurning anything in between. I'm sure analytics plays into this.
And to your point about experience having become a key component of deep runs into the tournament, I was just listening to some CBS sports-talk host opining that teams are actually better served these days by recruiting the sort of (slightly?) lower-ranked prospects likelier to stick around long enough to mesh with and develop loyalty to the program. Thus future dentists should trump future lottery picks. What a concept.
