NCAA at 75 - College Basketball
32. Darrell Griffith, Louisville
Still the most beloved player in Louisville history, the hometown hero led the Cardinals to their first NCAA championship as a senior in 1980. He capped his Wooden Award-winning season by earning tournament Most Outstanding Player honors at the Final Four, scoring a game-high 23 points in the title game victory over UCLA. Known as "Dr. Dunkenstein" for his play above the rim, the 6-foot-4 guard had an underrated all-around game. In the national semifinal versus Iowa, he scored 34 points and had five rebounds, six assists, three steals and two blocks. He also helped Louisville to a pair of Sweet 16 finishes. -- Brian Bennett
