KEY PLAYERS

Josh Jackson, Kansas. Dynamic freshman makes the highlight reels multiple times a game, makes a great tandem with Mason.

Malik Monk, Kentucky. Can heat up in a hurry. Just ask North Carolina.

Allonzo Trier, Arizona. The Wildcats’ go-to player at crunch time.

Justin Jackson, North Carolina. Long, athletic, scores inside and out, carrying a big load with Joel Berry II fighting an ankle injury.

Derrick Walton Jr., Michigan. He’s been a big reason for the Wolverines’ story book postseason run.

Trevon Bluiett, Xavier. Hampered by injuries earlier this season, rounding back into form at just the right time.
