TEAMS: Michigan Wolverines, North Carolina Tar Heels, Illinois Fighting Illini, Wisconsin Badgers, Wichita State Shockers, UNLV Rebels
Last March two college basketball documentaries premiered to remind us college basketball nuts how the game was changed in the early ’90s. Both focused on powerhouse programs that fell from grace since then, but today seem to be trending backward.
