Yes, the opening round games are considered the start of the college basketball tournament, but the real fun starts tomorrow at 12:15 EST. This is when the field of 64 begins their collective run at a National Championship. With that in mind, make sure your brackets are done tonight.
To help get you ready for all overload of college basketball, Darren Rovell of MSNBC put together a top ten list of the best-selling jerseys in college basketball. As Rovell points out, the players don’t get a dime from these jersey sales–wait until you’re a pro, fellas–and the player’s last name does not appear on the back of these college jerseys, but:
…every year, schools give manufacturers specific numbers that correlate to the best players on their team. So we went to the folks at Fanatics, the leading retailer of college merchandise online, and asked them what schools with what numbers sold best this season.
With that in mind, here’s the list, starting from 10 to 1.
