There are only a handful of college programs that can be considered “royalty.” Duke, North Carolina and Kansas are certainly near the top of the list. And you could probably round out the top five with a pair of schools – UCLA and Kentucky – that will tangle on Friday night in Memphis.
Two Cavaliers who’ll be keeping tabs on the score of that matchup – (after they’re done taking on the Hornets in Charlotte) – are Kevin Love and DeAndre Liggins.
Love, of course, starred in his single season with the Bruins – reaching the Final Four as a freshman and declaring for the Draft a couple months later.
