My Favorite College Basketball Player

I agree with Greg Doyle of CBS on this one:

Eric Hicks, Cincinnati: Hicks is ferocious. Other players dunk or block a shot and then scream because it makes them look tough. Hicks doesn't have to do any of that. He could walk onto the court in a pink leotard and be the baddest man in the gym. Find another 6-foot-5 center who could put up 21 points, seven rebounds and three blocked shots against LSU's All-NBA frontcourt of Glen Davis, Tyrus Thomas and Tasmin Mitchell. Or how about UConn? Against the enormous Huskies, Hicks had 14 points, 11 rebounds and seven blocked shots. If he were 6-10, he'd be an NBA All-Star.
