NCAA Basketball 2009-10
By Charlie Zegers, About.com Guide to Basketball
From the freshman "diaper dandy" to the senior cutting down the nets, from the ten-time champion to the struggling mid-major, and from the hall of famers to the hot assistant looking for his big break, here's your guide to the players, teams and coaches of NCAA basketball.
Players
Profiles, scouting reports, news and analysis on the blue chip recruits, the one-and-done NBA prospects and the returning upperclassmen.
Coaches
Bob Knight's temper. Jim Boeheim's 2-3 zone. Rick Pitino's three-pointers. Pete Carrill's back-door cuts. Nolan Richardson's "40 minutes of hell." Perhaps more than any other sport, college basketball is all about the coaches. Here's a look at some of the best, both past and present.
Division I Records
Do you know who owns the Division I career record for scoring, or that he set it in just three seasons? Can you name the player who scored 100 points in an NCAA game -- eight years before Wilt Chamberlain did it in an NBA game? Find out here, as we track some of the greatest single-game performances and careers in Division I history.
The NCAA Tournament
The NCAA Tournament -- and the associated brackets and office pools -- is perhaps the greatest exhibition in the world of sport. (And a scourge to productivity in offices across America.) Learn the history of "March Madness" -- the format, the spectacle... and get tips on filling out your brackets.
