*New Player* Historic College

[roolz]

Hello all,

Just received my copy of this (quite quickly considering it had to brave the Atlantic and then the English snow) and am pretty pleased to have it in my hands.

Last night I had my first real play and really enjoyed it, used some sliders from here and a set of Rosters FunkyFresh I believe, although if im honest I have no real clue about NCAAB other than the 2 games or so that are shown on Cable at the weekend over here.

Anyway onto my real question;

As with most people Legacy mode is what attracts them to the game and for me I cannot wait to dig in to this mode. However as with all modes of this type be it NFL, NBA, MLB etc I have a penchant for rebuilding historic teams, bringing back past glories that have been forgotten ie Toronto NHL, or the Reds in Baseball (bar this season).... just to name a few.

Now as im not au fait with all Colleges and their history, could someone recommend a team that needs a rebuild and a return to success of years gone by. Maybe its a team who used to dominate their Conference but now bottom feeds... or even a team that has had a good NCAA Tourney record but now rarely makes it or if they do, are 1st round exits or so.

I have wiki'ed some Colleges, but tbh there are so many (which is cool) that im sure asking people with this knowledge will be easier than me missing out a team as I just cant get the info.

All help appreciated, my Open Legacy relies on you

St. Johns would be good, because it's going to happen too.

Lavin is a good cheater.

UNLV, Houston, another good team to build up would be Northwestern. Northwestern has never made it to the NCAA tournament. Indiana is another team who used to be great but are kind of down right now. That is all I can think of right now off the top of my head. Good luck on picking a team.

Thanks for the suggestions, I think Northwestern seems like a decent challenge...

Some ideas:

St. John's
Seton Hall
Cincinnati
Indiana
Iowa
Michigan
Maryland
NC State
Arkansas
LSU
Arizona
Houston
UNLV
UMass


Being 'down' is somewhat of a relative term for a few of these programs.

If you're looking to rebuild a team to it's former dominating form UCLA (Pac 10) is a good pick. If you wanna take a team that's on the rise but not quite at that legendary status Ohio State (Big Ten) is a good pick as well. Some other teams I could recommend for you to consider using are....
Georgetown-Big East
Memphis-Conference USA
Florida (Southeast)
Duke (Atlantic Coast)
North Carolina (Atlantic Coast)
Michigan State (Big Ten)

Michigan, St. Johns, UNLV, Houston, UCLA. That would be my top 5 to rebuild to glory, in no specific order.
