Athlon Sports has conducted an anonymous poll with college basketball players across the country and have asked them questions about certain subjects that are basketball related and non-basketball related.

Kentucky Basketball has several mentions, including the most overrated players that the anonymous players have played against.

Who is the most overrated player you have faced?
Nerlens Noel, Kentucky (6.8%)
Kyle Wiltjer, Kentucky (6.8%)
Michael Snaer, Florida State (5.5%)
Aaron Craft, Ohio State (4.1%)
Austin Rivers, Duke (4.1%)
Mason Plumlee, Duke (4.1%)
Patric Young, Florida (4.1%)
Trey Burke, Michigan (2.7%)

Cody Zeller, Indiana (2.7%)

Notable: 20 players received at least one vote, including 2012 NBA first-round draft picks Terrence Jones (Kentucky), Marquis Teague (Kentucky) and Royce White (Iowa State).

John Calipari was also mentioned as coaches they wish they could have played for and coaches they would never play for. Ironic, huh?

Rupp Arena also gets some love as the most favorite place to play games in, other than their own arenas.
