Who's on your school's all-time basketball team?

Inspired by playing NCAA 06 March Madness:

Imagine you’re assembling an all-time team from every men’s basketball player at your university of choice. You’ve got 12 roster spots, and you can take anyone as long as they appeared in at least one game for the university.

My all-time Kentucky team:



G  #00  Tony Delk
G  # 4  Kyle Macy
G  # 3  Rex Chapman
G  # 5  Travis Ford
G  #10  Keith Bogans
F  #24  Jamal Mashburn
F  #24  Antoine Walker
F  #21  Tayshaun Prince
F  #44  Cotton Nash
F  #34  Kenny "Sky" Walker
C  #31  Sam Bowie
C  #44  Dan Issel

Honorable Mentions:  Jamaal Magloire, Nazr Mohammed, Derek Anderson,
Jeff Sheppard, Chuck Hayes, "The Unforgettables," Ron Mercer and "Goose" Givens.

Evan Eschmeyer would probably be our starting center. That says it all right there, doesn’t it?

Hey, you also have Bernard Cote, who played at Kentucky for a while.

I actually had a class with Bernard. Interesting guy.

What, no Rajon Rondo? As a Gator fan, he’s MY favorite Kentucky player.

Let’s see your 12 best guys. I can come up with Matt “I Suck And Need A Haircut” Walsh, David Lee, Teddy “The Gambler” Dupay and that’s about it.

I can’t say I know enough about the Gators before my time to accurately judge their worth. I know Neal Walk is usually given Best Gator Ever status, but that’s about it. But here’s the best from the past nine years:

C Udonis Haslem
C David Lee
C/F Al Horford
C/F Joakim Noah
F Brent Wright
F Mike Miller
F Corey Brewer
G Jason Williams (White Chocolate, not the guy who killed someone)
G Brett Nelson (pre-injury only, after that he started to suck)
G Anthony Roberson
G Taurean Green
G Teddy Dupay (as long as he had money on the Gators)

The ads at the bottom as of 2:25 pm EST were for African ringtones, how to reach African Americans through marketing, and celebrating African American history. WTF???

Whatever. Here is a stab at an All-Time squad from The University of Texas:

C Lamarcus Aldridge
C Chris Mihm
C Lasalle Thompson
C James Thomas

F PJ Tucker
F Mike Wacker
F Chris Owens
F Brad Buckman

G TJ Ford
G Travis Mays
G Johnny Moore
G Joey Wright

I’ll take a stab for Mississippi State.

Eric Dampier, who I saw last off season still driving his 73 Olds Convertible.
Darryl Wilson, didn’t play in the NBA
Jeff Malone.
Bailey Howell.
Lawrence Roberts.

I went to graduate school at UNC Chapel Hill for a year. So I guess I can use them.
Michael Jordan, Billy Cunningham, Rasheed Wallace, Kenny Smith, Bob McAdoo, James Worthy, Brad Daugherty, Vince Carter, Sam Perkins, Charlie Scott, Bobby Jones. And Dean Smith could coach my team.

Now there’s a team. I’d love to see Rupp coaching my guys against yours. That would be one hell of a game.

Hmm I’m not enough of an College Basketball expert to pick a whole team, but my picks for Michigan

C Chris Webber
C Juwon Howard
F Cazzie Russell
F Glen Rice
F Rudy Tomjanovich
G Rumeal Robinson
G Jalen Rose
G Ricky Green

My nominees for Notre Dame

G Austin Carr
G John Paxson
F Adrian Dantley
F Orlando Woolridge
C John Shumate

Bench: Kelly Tripucka, Bill Laimbeer, Bill Hanzlik, Gary Brokaw, Donald “Duck” Williams, Tom Hawkins, Troy Miller
