Duke hasn't won a national title in basketball since 2001, but it's the reigning champ in at least one hoops category: Most current NBA players. The ACC power had 14 players on opening night rosters, including Golden State rookie DeMarcus Nelson, an undrafted free agent who has been starting at the point for the Warriors. Several other schools also had double-digit representation. Connecticut and UCLA each had 12 players on opening night rosters, while Kansas and North Carolina -- to the delight of Blue Devils fans worldwide -- had 11 each. Arizona, Florida, Georgia Tech and Kentucky had nine each. On the international front, France had the most players with nine, with Argentina, Serbia and Spain tied for second with five each.
