least 2 NBA players on the squad. The 1981 team had 3: Ainge, Kite and Roberts. (Steve Craig made it to the last cut before not sticking on an NBA roster IRRC). The 2010 Cougars had 2 NBA-ers: Jimmer and Davies (even if they did not last long on their NBA teams, just making the regular season roster at all is a great accomplishment). I am hoping that formula holds this season, too.
