Scarbinksy: Auburn adds to college hoops' new world order with French center

It’s Final Four week, which means time to revisit two personal annual rituals: late-night screenings of cinematic basketball classics “Hoosiers” and “Blue Chips.”

OK so maybe “Blue Chips” isn’t “Citizen Kane,” but any flick revolving around a good old-fashioned recruiting scandal that stars Shaquille O’Neal, Penny Hardaway, Larry Bird, Bob Cousy, Jerry Tarkanian, Rick Pitino, Bob Knight and Nick Nolte playing Bob Knight Lite rates as a cult classic.
