Do not turn off your television set. Think of our ratings.

And think of what you'll miss. As the tournament unfolds, you will see players you've never seen before. And yet, strangely, you'll swear that you have.

Here at Ten for Tuesday, we understand. We're here to cushion the blow by providing you an advance warning ... of the 10 most shocking look-alikes in the 2005 NCAA Tournament!

Possible topic for next week's Ten for Tuesday: Ten coaches we believe were once abducted by aliens.

McGregor-Morrison

10. Adam Morrison, Gonzaga: Morrison has the sweetest-looking jump shot since Larry Bird, but can he sing? Can he dance? Scottish actor Ewan McGregor can do both. Rent Moulin Rouge and picture Morrison, minus that nappy hair, co-starring alongside Nicole Kidman.

Dele-Fey

9. Michael Fey, UCLA: It's an awkward thing, comparing the living to the dead, or the presumed dead, but the 7-foot Fey is a dead ringer -- sorry -- for Bison Dele, the flaky former Arizona and NBA big man once known as Brian Williams. Dele has been missing since 2002, allegedly killed at sea by his brother, Miles Dabord, who died months later after being found comatose on a Tahiti beach. We wish a long life to you, Michael Fey. And a jump shot.

Tupac-Felton

8. Raymond Felton, UNC: On Sept. 13, 1996, brilliant rapper Tupac Shakur died from gunshot wounds in a Las Vegas shooting. Or did he? To this day, there are people who believe the death was a hoax, that Shakur went into hiding and is alive and well. Four years later, in tiny Latta, S.C., a high school junior named Raymond Felton materialized on the recruiting scene bearing an uncanny resemblance to Tupac. Coincidence? Probably. But watch Above the Rim, and tell me that bizarre jump shot doesn't look familiar.

Cage-Smith

7. Nick Smith, Illinois: The 7-2 Illini center is just flaky and self-centered enough to make it in Hollywood. At the least, he could be a body double -- a really tall body double -- for Nicolas Cage. What, you thought it was a coincidence the Illini center's first name was Nick?

Taylor-Rock

6. Kammron Taylor, Wisconsin: This one is scary. Taylor is so talented, so versatile, he can play both guard positions for Wisconsin on one night, and host the Oscar the next. Anyone ever seen Taylor in the same room with comedian Chris Rock?

5. Terrence Roberts, Syracuse: Orange fans ought to love this one. Roberts has the same face, body and early career path as Kenyon Martin. Both are 6-9, 230 pounds.

Martin-Roberts

Both had nondescript freshman seasons (Roberts averaged 2.1 points and 2.1 rebounds; Martin averaged 2.8 points and 3.4 rebounds at Cincinnati in 1996-97). Both picked it up as sophomores (Roberts: 7.2 and 3.7; Martin: 9.9 and 8.9). Both even suffered terrible leg injuries in 2000, Martin as a college senior and Roberts as a high school sophomore. Martin became national player of the year. Anything less for Roberts will be a huge disappointment. Well, it'll be a huge disappointment to me.

Estevez-Sparks

4. Patrick Sparks, Kentucky: This one takes some vision -- as if the others don't -- but you've got to picture Sparks with a mop of thick hair. Away from the bright lights they couldn't be more different, but Sparks bears an eerie facial resemblance to Emilio Estevez, circa The Breakfast Club. Otherwise, no comparison. Estevez grew up in Manhattan and Malibu. Sparks is a Kentucky country boy.

Mitchell-Simien

3. Wayne Simien, Kansas: Normally we don't take a step down in class, but in this case we'll make an exception and tell you about a high school senior who could be Simien's mini-Me. You'll have to trust me on this one, but next year when he's tearing it up for LSU, 6-7 Tasmin Mitchell will freak you out with his resemblance to the 6-9 Simien. Their games are even on the same trajectory, both expanding their offensive capabilities beyond the low block in the past year.

2. Hassan Adams, Arizona: Both of these guys can leap a CBS broadcast tower (shameless plug) in one bound, but that's not the best part. Give him four inches, 30 pounds, a better handle and a jump shot, and Adams is LeBron James. That's not so much to ask, is it?

Els-Steyn

1. Frans Steyn, Oklahoma State: All South Africans don't look the same -- do they? -- but Steyn's look-alike just happens to be another South Afrikaner, golfer Ernie Els. Both were diverse athletes as kids, Steyn starring at rugby, cricket and track, while Els was an elite junior tennis player. Steyn eventually chose basketball. Els chose golf. For one of them, it worked out nicely.
