Cassius Winston – Michigan State

The Player of the Year in arguably the toughest conference top to bottom this season, Winston has played at a First-Team All-American level and boasts one of the coolest names in the country to boot.

The Spartans got a tough draw after winning both the Big 10 regular season and tournament titles. A date with Duke looms should both make it to the Elite Eight. Winston’s 19.0 points and 7.5 assists per game could be the difference in a battle for a Final Four spot.

Ty Jerome – Virginia

The Kyle Guy-De’Andre Hunter-Ty Jerome trio is just about as good as it gets this season in college basketball. Jerome operates the slow-as-molasses Virginia offense to perfection.

The Cavaliers system might be ripe for an upset, as we all witnessed in historical fashion last season, but it also can choke the life out of any team in America with Jerome’s passing keeping it from stagnating.

Jordan Bone – Tennessee

While a lion’s share of the attention has gone to the dynamic duo of two-time SEC Player of the Year Grant Williams and his sidekick Admiral Schofield, Bone as been nearly as integral to Tennessee’s success this season.

The junior leads the SEC with 6.2 assists per game and plays with the type of poise and understanding of the game that is when the chaos of elimination tournament play kicks in. For the Vols to make a deep run, Bone will have to be on his A game.
