CBB Uniforms (1988-89 to Present): 8 Seeds

RBP has been ranking the top 64 uniforms from the 1988-89 season to the present. For more on that process, read the introduction to the original post. The 8 seeds:

32) San Diego State (Kawhi Leonard): While I didn't give the Aztecs bonus points for their shoe game, please enjoy the various Jordan models pictured below.





31) Memphis (Anfernee Hardaway): Back when Penny was balling in Bluff City and the school was still known as Memphis State, the blue unis with the gray trim were hard to top.




30) St. John's (Moe Harkless):Big fan of the black alternate and even bigger fan of the font.




29) Kentucky (Brandon Knight):As Kentucky has a history of terrible uniform choices (denim Converse unis, Apex cat scratch shorts, and soon to be debuted Nike Platinum gear come to mind), I am fearful the Wildcats will drop their current duds, which continue to grow on me.

2010-11 Outlook: Mid-Majors

Top 10 Non-BCS Conference Teams

1. Gonzaga - David Stockton, son of Gonzaga and NBA great John Stockton, is a walk-on point guard for the Zags.

2. Brigham Young - Jimmer Fredette may get the press, but backcourt mate Jackson Emery is perhaps just as important to the Cougars' success.

3. Temple - Fran Dunphy continues to work wonders for a program that only recently appeared to be in sharp decline.

4. Memphis - Josh Pastner has no problem recruiting, but can he coach?

5. Murray State - Reigning OVC champs return 8 of top 10 scorers.

6. San Diego State - Most talent that Steve Fisher has had since his days with the Fab 5.

7. Richmond - 38-year old head coach Chris Mooney is going to have offers from some big-time programs very soon.

8. Butler - Shelvin Mack is a beast, but the Bulldogs are going to miss Gordon Hayward even more than the pundits seem to think.

9. UNLV - The perennially competitive Runnin' Rebels will take third in an extremely talented Mountain West Conference.

10. Old Dominion - Experienced Monarchs play physical, suffocating defense.

All Mid-Major Team

Kevin Anderson, Richmond, sr, guard
Jimmer Fredette, Brigham Young, sr, guard
Shelvin Mack, Butler, jr, guard
Kawhi Leonard, San Diego State, soph, forward
Lavoy Allen, Temple, sr, forward

Player of the Year

Kawhi Leonard, San Diego State - Long athlete who hits the glass, has an excellent motor, and finds ways to score.

Top Freshman

Joe Jackson, Memphis - Self-proclaimed "King of Memphis" is not lacking for confidence and is key to Tigers playing Top 25 basketball.

Top Defender

Jay Threatt, Delaware State - Ballhawk averaged an NCAA-leading 2.8 steals per contest last season as a sophomore.
