The All-Random Team

Maybe it's because it's mid-March, or maybe it's because I've watched 20 years' worth of "One Shining Moment" in the last week, but either way I've got college basketball on the brain. So now I'm going to take it out on you.

Here are my favorite college basketball players of all-time, the only criteria being no KU players, and no players who went on to "star" in the NBA. As soon as I started thinking about it, one thing led to another, and pretty soon I had three teams plus honorable mentions. I really wanted to find a spot for Luke Schenscher somewhere on this list, since nightmares of him cause Jon-Jon to snap awake in the middle of the night; covered in sweat and yelling out loud, "C'mon, Coach! Can we start doubling or something?!? Where's my fucking weakside help? I'm getting killed down here!" Alas, there wasn't any room for him.

Honorable Mention:

Julius Hodge (NC State), Mike Gansey (West Virginia), Harold Arceneaux (Weber St.), Carmelo Travieso (UMASS), Shammond Williams (UNC), Walter McCarty (Kentucky), Rodney Rogers (Wake Forest), Luther Head (Illinois), Taquan Dean (Louisville), Shaheen Holloway (Seton Hall), Exree Hipp (Maryland), Miles Simon (Arizona), Ronny Turiaf (Gonzaga), Anderson Hunt (UNLV), Charlie Ward (FSU), God Shammgod (Providence), Darvin Ham (Texas Tech), Kris Clack (Texas), Lawrence Moten (Syracuse)
