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

Miles Simon, Arizona—Then
Miles Simon played for the University of Arizona from 1994 to 1998. Guess what? He helped the team win the NCAA championship and received most outstanding player honors, but he did it in 1997, which was not his final year as a college player. He played one more year. He is also probably the only player on this list to be born in Sweden. If we’re wrong, tell us. We can take it.
