March Madness: Top 10 NCAA Tournament Players of All Time

NCAA Logo

Bobby Joe Hill, Texas Western – Hill starred on perhaps the most important team that has ever played in the NCAA Tournament. In a title game much, much bigger than being for an NCAA championship, Hill was outstanding as Texas Western became the first team with an all-black starting five to win a national title as the Miners beat an all-white Kentucky team, 72-65, to win the 1966 national championship. Hill led all scorers with 20 points in the title game and also added 18 points and 11 rebounds in Texas Western’s Final Four triumph against Utah and 22 points in an overtime victory over Kansas in the Elite Eight.
