There was a lot of lamentation about the quality and vitality of college hoops in the last couple of years, and in 2015 the Division I Men's Basketball Committee took action to do something about it. The Minutes spoke Monday with Oklahoma athletic director and men's basketball committee chair Joe Castiglione (2), NCAA men's basketball vice president Dan Gavitt (3) and NCAA director of media coordination and statistics Dave Worlock (4). On this date in 2015, 37 teams were averaging 75 points per game; this year the number is 147.
