NCAA Talent Pools

The odds are good that several of the 64 teams that made the
NCAA tournament will one day supply a batch of players to the
NBA. Twenty-five squads each produced four players who have
suited up in the league this season, and 20 yielded five or
more. Here are the teams that have placed the most players in
the NBA during 1997-98. --David Sabino
