Former NCAA Superstars—Are They Having Hoop Dreams or Hoop Nightmares?
For most sports fans, the NCAA basketball tournament known as March Madness is all about bracketology. For the young players on the court, it's win or go home. Snakkle selected a slew of college b-ball heroes from the '80s, '90s, and '00s. (The latter is typically referred to as "the aughts." Yes, we're nerdy.) Some went on to NBA greatness, some not so much. All of them were certified sports superstars who helped their college teams snag a championship. Is your favorite on our list? If not, leave a comment and let us know! We can take it. (A tip of the cap to our friend Vin Getz of Sports List of the Day for his kind assistance.) By Brett Singer

Bobby Hurley, Duke University—Then
Bobby Hurley was part of Duke University’s basketball program from 1989 to 1993. How good was he? Hurley was the point guard on a team that went all the way to the Final Four three times, winning in 1991 and 1992, the year he was named the Final Four’s most outstanding player. Note: Most outstanding player is sort of like most valuable player, except that it isn’t. Don’t ask. Basically, he was awesome.
