  "textContent": "The tournament and gameplay is a quality product, especially compared to the NBA. I don't watch college basketball outside of the NCAA tournament. Even then I watch about 4-5 games during the tournament. What stands out to me over the NBA is nobody is trying to draw fouls while shooting or draw contact. In the first half of VCU vs Illinois, VCU had zero free throw attempts. Additionally plays are actually being run rather than isolation ball. Players also play defense. Kind of a breath of fresh air after watching the NBA.",
