Gary Parrish’s Latest Fan Voting Contest

As you are probably painfully aware, the college basketball season is way far down the road, and the news coming out of that part of the sporting world s slow and hard coming. The good writers at CBS Sports (mainly Gary Parrish) are trying their best to keep college basketball fans pumped. I think they’ve found that it’s easiest to get college basketball fans pumped if they were recently in the Final Four, and they have some of the most established basketball traditions. Therefore, Gary came up with a little fan vote-based tournament between All-Star, All-Time teams from North Carolina, Duke, Kansas, UCLA, Kentucky and Indiana championship teams of yore.

The trick was that the teams had to be made up of members from the championship teams themselves. So if Tyler Hansbrough’s Tar Heels had won the national championship, he might be eligible to play on the UNC team. As it is, he can’t be on the team, and that might be why they aren’t in the title game. Right now it’s UCLA’s All-Time team and Kentucky’s going at it. You should vote if you find this kind of thing interesting, or of you are a fan of the Bruins or Wildcats and you want to get pumped about history.
