With as much college basketball as we watch, we start to admire more than just the pure skill on the basketball court, such as the style and shape that some players sport for their hairdos.

And when I say we, I am referring to the collective college basketball chatter that we engage with on Twitter, blogs, and other social media. Below are some cool hair cuts to keep an eye on towards March Madness for the prom night of all red carpet moments.

Distinguished Gray Hair Makes its way into college hoops

NIL may be keeping more players in the NCAA ranks for longer, but this Eastern Washington transfer has been distinguished in gray for the entirety of his college career. Steele Venters has some Blue Steel looks with his distinguished gray highlights.

Here are some other NCAAB hair styles people are talking about on Twitter

Here’s the good, the bad, the ugly when it comes to haircuts the college basketball Twitterverse is talking about.

Here’s the field of 16…

16.  Garrett Collins – UNCG Spartans
Forward Garrett Collins gets the party started (and happy belated) with our Sweet 16 list.

15.  Caleb Wood – Pennsylvania Quakers
Caleb Wood looks like one of the 3 Musketeers on the guard as the Quakers march into tournament territory.

14.  Bobby Morehead – Montana Grizz
The headband game needed to be represented in this bracket.

13.  Terrell Miller – Murray State Racers
Terrell Miller makes the NBA’s Nene look thin-haired.

12.  Jaylen Barford – Arkansas Razorbacks
Jaylen Barford’s distinguished grey gives “senior night” a new connotation.

11.  Rob Gray – Houston Cougars
Replacing Kyle Guy this year as an ambassador of team man bun.

10.  Trae Young – Oklahoma Sooners
Some chicks dig the “just woke up” look.

9.  Dylan Osetkowski – Texas Longhorns
You should see this modeled in corn rows.   Osetkowski broke it out earlier this season.

8.  Collin Sexton – Alabama Tide
This freshman has entered the college game and surpassed his own teammates – like Dazon Ingram and John Petty – with the voluminousness.

7.  Jalen Fisher – TCU Hornfrogs
Jalen Fisher brings color, curls, and style to the bracket – a Cinderella story in the making.

6.  Nate Watson – Providence Friar’s
Nate Watson rocks the sherbet colored frosted tips, as do some teammates.

5.  Cartier Diara – K-State Wildcats
You can define this one.

4.  Lonnie Walker – Miami Hurricane
Anyone comfortable with the nickname pineapple head belongs on this list.

 

3.  Vincent Edwards – Purdue Boilermakers
Edwards reminds us of Rufio from Hook but has drawn other comparisons on Twitter.

2.  Jacob Evans – Cincinnati Bearcats
Coaches nationwide are looking for versatile players this time of year.  Evans has displayed his range this season, showcasing earlier this season the short dreads, and now sporting something more reminiscent of the 1990s New York Knicks front court.

  1.  Donte DiVincenzo – Villanova Wildcats
    Nicknamed “The Big Ragu” by Gus Johnson, his hairdo matches the theme.

We start with a classic barbershop part and neat comb.

9.  Ky Boyman, Boston College

Boston College may not be in the tournament, but that won’t stop this “red head” from cracking our top ten.

8.  London Perrantes, Virginia 

Are you old enough to remember Kid n’ Play?

7.  Xavier Cooks, Winthrop 

The Winthrop big man alternates between Bone Thugs and Bob Marley

6. D’Mitrik Trice, Wisconsin 

Beware opponents, it’s building towards a Taxi Driver look

5. Dylan Ennis, Oregon

Just a touch of Oregon’s neon yellow.

10.  Deandre Bembry, Saint Joseph’s 

Saint Joseph’s University is located in historic Philadelphia and Deandre Bembry’s hairdo is reminiscent of one of Philly’s best ballers in history.  Bembry also has a college game that is drawing comparisons to Julius Erving.

9.  Spike Albrecht, Michigan 

The player best remembered for his first half heroics in the 2013 NCAA Championship game (eventual loss to Louisville) is out with hip issues.  But that’s not stopping Spike Albrecht from working on his new doo.  And, this is not Albrecht’s first recognition to this esteemed group.  In 2014, he was also named 7th to Myron Metcalf’s list.  

8.  Jeff Short, Norfolk State 

Somewhere Coolio is filing copyright infringement.

7.  Jalen Moore, Utah State

Jalen Moore’s dedication is paying off.  As a junior, he eclipsed the 1,000 point career plateau in mid-February.

6.  Dazon Ingram, Alabama

Even Wichita State is envious of the wavy wheat-fields Dazon can rock.

 

5. Ore Arogundade, Drake 

The work is producing results.

 

4. T.J. Shipes, Georgia State

Note the box out, the Goldi -locks out, and the time with fans that rocks-out.

 

3.  Matt Tiby, Milkaukee

When this list was first published, the outcry was nationwide.

“How could Matt Tiby not make the list?”

Twitter was lit ‘a Flare with outrage.  The votes came pouring into @CBBEyeTest’s notifications.  The caucus season played itself out.  In the end, Tiby and his dream weaves were a lock for the top 3.  His fans, including his sister, wouldn’t have it any other way.

 

2.  Jameel McKay, Iowa State

Just as T.J. Shipes represents the 80s hair band with a head band, Jameel McKay provides the classic dreadlocks pulled back with a rubber band.

  1. Ron Baker, Wichita State

If you have any doubt that Baker is number one, just keyword search Ron Baker in Twitter and browse photos alone.  Enjoy!
