"7 players 6-feet and under who are making waves"

[BBFran]

So I'll put the link in for the article but first a little commentary: right now the TOP TWO assist men in the college game are Kahlil Felder and Jordan Johnson. They are both, quite definitely, under 6 feet. They are both also tremendous scorers, with Felder being a prolific scorer. Clearly two of the most dynamic point guards in the game.

So you sure would think they would both be on any list like this, wouldn't you?  Especially when the article is posted ONE DAY before Felder and Johnson go head to head.

Well, they aren't. It turns out that every player on this list is from a top P5 school. Irritating to say the least.

But what really burns me is the source of this article: the NCAA!

And you wonder (or don't) why the mid-major schools annually get screwed on selection Sunday while the P5 conferences collectively send a dozen teams that everyone knows have almost no chance of making the second weekend?

I hope K and Jordy put on a hell of a show tonight.

Wow.

I mean if it was some USAToday article or Yahoo sports article, that's one thing, but right on the NCAA's own website.

No, there is no bias against the non Power conferences at all.

Geez ...

I would take Felder or Johnson over any of these guys except Tyler Ulis. They also left off Nic Moore of SMU who is as good if not better than all these guys. Not surprising though because I think it's safe to say the NCAA is not a big fan of SMU.
