3. Dylan Windler, Guard, Belmont

One of the final teams to make the field of 68 in this year’s NCAA Tournament, the Belmont Bruins are on fire heading into the Round of 64.

They defeated the Temple Owls in their first four game, and will now face the Maryland Terrapins on Thursday.

They did so without a big contribution from their superstar senior, Dylan Windler. Windler, who averaged 20 points and ten rebounds per game on the season, scored just five points, while grabbing 14 rebounds.

As a two-dimensional guard, Windler has the potential to change the complexion of the game.

Even though he scored just five points against Temple, Windler managed to change the game drastically with his rebounding from the guard position.

Against Maryland, Windler will play an even bigger role. The Bruins will presumably be making more of an effort to get their star the ball, and when he does have more open looks, those 20 points per game will be a big difference-maker.

The top player on a prime cinderella candidate, Belmont’s Dylan Windler is easily one of the key seniors in this year’s NCAA Tournament.
