Where Are They Now?
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

Glen Rice—Now
Rice was selected fourth overall by the Miami Heat. His NBA career was better than many college champs’—he was a three-time NBA all-star and won a championship with the Los Angeles Lakers. His name was in the news recently for a decidedly non-sports reason—Rice reportedly had a “one-night stand” with former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in 1987. In other fun news, Rice’s son, Glen Rice Jr. currently plays for the Washington Wizards.
