As you guys can probably tell of all the sports I write about most, basketball is probably my favorite.  Don’t get me wrong I love baseball and football, it’s just that I guess whatever sport you played most tends to be the one you happen to enjoy and follow.    And as March madness nears in under 8 weeks, I’m already getting pumped.

So I decided to look around for some pretty cool black and white shots of old NCAA teams and even some Hall of Fame NBA players in their college days.  Some pictures are Time Life and some I just dug up.

I hope you enjoy these 15 vintage pictures of NCAA hoops.
