NCAA at 75 - College Basketball
36. David Robinson, Navy
Robinson began his career at the U.S. Naval Academy as a scrawny, 6-foot-7 project more focused on his career at sea than his abilities on the hardwood. But he would soon sprout to an Adonis-like 7-foot -- his nickname, "The Admiral," was soon to follow -- and Robinson would use that frame to lead Navy to a regional final in the 1986 NCAA tournament. He averaged 27.5 points and 11.8 rebounds, leading the No. 7 seed Midshipmen to an upset over No. 2 Syracuse before losing to No. 1 seed Duke. Michigan bounced Robinson in the first round of the 1987 NCAA tournament, but not without a fight -- Robinson scored 50 points in the loss. Navy hasn't won an NCAA tournament game since he left. -- Eamonn Brennan
