NCAA Basketball: All-Decade teams for each conference (2009-2019)

With the last NCAA Basketball decade having come to a close with Virginia’s thrilling win over Texas Tech, All-Decade lists have started to form. We wanted to take a look at each conference’s best players of the decade.

The formulation of All-Decade squads for the 2010s has been one of the most intriguing subjects for this NCAA Basketball offseason. And although several outlets have posted their overall All-Decade teams, I wanted to take a look at the best of the 2010s for each conference.

3. One-and-done’s will be considered, but they have to be true standouts (think Carmelo from the previous decade). Players with multiple years of experience had more time to rack up accolades and accumulate stats.
4. The players will be slotted in the conference that feels most appropriate on a case-to-case basis. This was a decade full of conference realignment, so trying to place them in the leagues they were in at the time is tricky.
