John Gasaway made this list at ESPN. Lots of room for argument at the more popular jersey numbers.

As he points out, only numbers 0-5, single or double digits, are currently eligible for use in college hoops.

Have fun debating over these and/or complaining that a player from your favorite team didn't make this list.
