I previewed Marquette's "NBA Division" on Cracked Sidewalks two days ago, but here is the Breitbart Sports story on how all the schools stack up.

This should help recruiting.

In all seriousness, I love it when statistics prove that Marquette is the best at something.  Even if it is a hypothetical division of alumni in a weak conference... although people can come up with statistics to prove anything; 14% of all people know that.

As long as all 4- and 5-stars understand that Marquette and Kentucky are two of only 36 options they have to end up in the NBA I am happy  ;D.

I did set up the system first and then run the numbers with no tweaks. It just occurred to me when Jimmy and Dwyane were united in Chicago that if Wesley comes all the way back MU really does have a formidable five (with Jae and Henry) and wondered how many schools could take them. And we'd actually have a legit bench for a 48 minute game with Vander, Matt, Dwight etc.

After running the numbers I'd say, not many colleges could compete.
