I'm such a huge fan of the NBA that my opinion is not valid...but, I'll state it anyway. I think the NBA is much more exciting for all of the reasons Thelema mentioned above, but I can deffinately see the other side of the argument as well. NCAA basketball's win or go home style is also very exciting. You have players playing to win, for respect, and what you see is what you get. You don't have players only in it for the money. I really appreciate that about college basketball.
