Can these Davids beat a Goliath?

One-bid league teams have players who could bust some brackets.

James Madison’s Terrence Edwards says his team has been dealing with pressure since it stunned the college basketball world with a season-opening upset of then-No. 4 Michigan State.

Edwards and the Dukes are hoping it enables them to make a similar impact on March Madness.

“After that game, we knew we had a target on our back,” Edwards told reporters after James Madison clinched its first NCAA Tournament bid since 2013 with a 91-71 victory over Arkansas State in the Sun Belt Conference championship game. “‘Coach B’ (Mark Byington) did a good job of always reminding us we already have pressure. It made us get immune to it. All we know is pressure.”

Edwards, a former all-state player at Tucker High, scored 24 points in that 79-76 overtime triumph over Michigan State to set the stage for a season in which he was named the Sun Belt’s player of the year.

Edwards, a 6-foot-6 swingman, and the 12th-seeded Dukes (31-3) get a chance to beat another Big

Ten team Friday when they play No. 5 seed Wisconsin (22-14) in a first-round South Region game in New York. Edwards is one of several players from one-bid leagues whose track records suggest they could emerge as bracket-busters this week.

James Madison heads into the NCAA Tournament with a 13-game winning streak thanks in part to Edwards, who averages a Sun Belt-leading 17.4 points. He and former Sandy Creek High star T.J. Bickerstaff (13.4 ppg) are JMU’s top two scorers.

“He’s the most competitive guy I’ve ever met in my life,” teammate Noah Freidel said. “He pushes you every day in practice . ... He really just forces people around him to step up their game and be great with him.”

Here’s a look at some other players from one-bid leagues who merit attention this week.
