Will they be the eighth of those and the first since Indiana (1976) to seal the deal? All eyes will be on their two potential lottery picks, freshman point guard Jalen Suggs and senior forward Corey Kispert, as well as sophomore big man Drew Timme.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_Appalachian_State_17-11\"><\/span>16.

Senior guard Michael Almonacy of Long Island, a Stony Brook transfer, made it possible, averaging 24.6 points in the Sun Belt Tournament.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_Norfolk_State_16-7\"><\/span>16.

It has been nine years since the Spartans were last dancing, when they stunned No. 2 Missouri in the first round behind Queens native and former Knicks forward Kyle O\u2019Quinn in a memorable tournament.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Oklahoma_15-10\"><\/span>8.

Senior Austin Reaves took over point guard duties this year, flipping spots with sophomore De\u2019Vion Harmon, and led the Sooners in scoring, rebounding and assists.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Missouri_16-9\"><\/span>9.

Missouri finished 8-8 in the SEC, but out-of-conference wins early in the season against Oregon, Wichita State and Illinois went a long way.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Creighton_20-8\"><\/span>5.

The entire starting five averages in double figures. Any one of them can wreck a game.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_UC_Santa_Barbara_22-4\"><\/span>12.

Ohio has five players who average in double figures and are ranked 29th in offensive efficiency by KenPom.com. The Bobcats are a threat, nearly upsetting Illinois and blowing out Horizon champion Cleveland State.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_USC_22-7\"><\/span>6.

It can just as easily go out in the first round. It\u2019s one of the more intriguing teams in the field. The Trojans\u2019 best player, projected top-five pick Evan Mobley, is a freshman. They shoot poorly from the free-throw line (65 percent) and aren\u2019t great from deep (34.4 percent), but they did win four of seven games against tournament teams.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Wichita_State_16-5\"><\/span>11.

He led them to a first-place finish in his first year as replacement for Gregg Marshall, who resigned. Sophomore guard Tyson Etienne, an Englewood, N.J., native who played 6 ball at Long Island Lutheran, shared AAC Player of the Year honors with Houston\u2019s Quentin Grimes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Drake_25-4\"><\/span>11.

The Bulldogs earned a bid for the first time since 2008 and only the second time since 1971. They were 40-87 in the four seasons before DeVries, the former Creighton assistant, was hired \u2014 and 69-28 thereafter. Leading scorer ShanQuan Hemphill missed the MVC tourney with a foot injury, but he might return this week.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Kansas_20-8\"><\/span>3.

We\u2019ll see if they actually play after withdrawing from the Big 12 Tournament due to a positive COVID-19 result. Self\u2019s selfless squad was the only team to beat Baylor in the regular season. Five players averaged between 10 and 14 points, led by junior guard Ochai Agbaji.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Eastern_Washington_16-7\"><\/span>14.

Tanner Groves was a key figure in their run to the tournament, going from a reserve to Eastern Washington\u2019s rock, scoring in double figures in all but one game.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Oregon_20-6\"><\/span>7.
