With college basketball's Midnight Madness upon us and the NCAA Men's Basketball season set to begin shortly, the thrill surrounding it all is certainly building. College basketball is exciting for many reasons—the players perform with heart, the student sections are absolutely nuts, and the season begins on time (oh, hi NBA!). However, for those that love sneakers, there's also the "kicks on court."
Player/Team exclusives are actually nothing new—they've been around for decades. However, only recently has the explosion of school colorway'd signature lines and college-branded sneakers been so strong. LeBron currently outfits three college basketball teams and Jordan Brand endorses four. With basketball sneakers in collegiate colorways, there's never been a better time to show one's school spirit. Are you wondering if your alma mater made the cut? Then check out the 25 Best College Basketball Player Exclusives of All-Time...

Trust me, KU was never signed to the Jordan brand. They had the deal with Nike and wore Jordans through that... But KU was never a Jordan school. Sure would be nice if they'd switch though. Adidas is GARBAGE.

Cincinnati Bearcats had some of the nicest Jordans when they were sponsored by Jordan. The team Jordan 1

Great post! Thanks for this. I love thinking about the old teams. There's no way these current teams could hang with some of those older teams. I found a pretty extensive 64-team bracket on a site. Good stuff. I found your article searching for more opinions on the best team. Nice! If you want to check out the 64-team bracket. It’s enjoyable if nothing else: http://www.tchuddle.com/2011/04/the-greatest-ncaa-division-i-men%e2%80%99s-basketball-tournament-teams-ever-champion/

Oregon LeBron II and UNC Air Adjust Force are glaring omissions. Oregon 2K5s are better than a lot on this list, as well as Texas KD 3s, Syracuse 2K4s, Cal / Bearcat / St Johns '99 Team Jordan, and tons of other team Js. Hell, Michigan State Questions are overlooked too.
