After averaging 16 points as a freshman, Roby has been the Buffaloes' leading scorer during a five-game winning streak, averaging almost 26 points in a span that has lifted Colorado to Kansas State junior Cartier Martin is also drawing accolades.

At Texas A&M, junior guard Acie Law has scored in double digits in all but one game this season. He has 127 points in his last six games.

Much of the rest of Detroit, though, is a landscape dotted with burned-out buildings, where liquor stores abound but supermarkets are hard to come by, and where drugs, violence and unemployment are everyday realities. Officials in the nation's poorest big city see hosting the game as a huge boost. They say it will be a catalyst for further development and provide a chance to improve Detroit's gritty reputation. They hope visitors will take note of new restaurants, clubs and lofts downtown. To make sure the city makes a good impression, dilapidated buildings have been torn down, roads repaired and landmarks renovated.
