Oh, Osiris Eldridge of Illinois State. You may have lost to Drake in the MVC championship this past weekend, but you won the most important battle of all: The fight for the crown of most freakishly stylish hairdo of the '07-'08 hoops season.

There's so much here: The rare black dude mohawk, the perfectly sculpted zero in the side of the head, the intricately trimmed basketball backdrop. I'm left simply speechless in its presence. This is truly a work for the archives, a bold arrow pointing the way to bigger, better frontiers in NCAA hoops coiffure, a pioneer in the field matched only by Russell Westbrook for daring and design.

All bow to Mighty Osiris! With hair like that, you are powerless not to, peasant.
