Pardon my ignorance, bu 18 votes from whom?

There's 24 voters, but I'm not sure how many people they actually vote for.

It's also not distinguishing their college career from their professional career, because a college basketball Hall of Fame would ultimately have no fan interest in. Just like the college football edition.

 

Although, I would like to see the NBA retreads being celebrated for the sole achievement of torching average talent on a nightly basis in college. Viva la Van Horn!

And give women's basketball it's own HOF. That all of us can rightfully ignore.

Who cares if college basketball HOF doesn't have any interest. The current HOF, really doesn't have any interest. No one is gonna forget Dean Smith, or John Wooden because their faces aren't on some plaque in Springfield.

'Nique and Auriemma are getting in, according to reports that were leaked. More to come, obviously, but they won't be *officially* announced until Monday night.

Damn if Barkley gets snubbed from the 1st ballot Hall of Fame, i'll seriously be angry.

 

Barkley is arguably the most talented PF to ever play the game.
