The NCAA Tournament All-Name Team, Featuring BeeJay Anya and Dallas Ennema
Arriving at the 46 best names in the 2014 NCAA Tournament was an arduous process, but we felt that it was important that somebody did it. What was the methodology, you ask? Well, it involved Googling each team in the Big Dance’s roster, looking up and down quickly, and seeing which names stood out for being especially exotic and/or awesome. Were there egregious omissions? Perhaps, yeah, but we firmly believe the merits of this squad will hold up for posterity:
