NCAA Tournament 2023: Power ranking of top 100 players overall from the field
By Joey Loose
95. Antonio Reeves – Kentucky
After three years starring at Illinois State, Reeves made great use of the Transfer Portal and has played his role well with the Wildcats. He’s averaging 14.4 points per game, hitting nearly 41% of his 3-pointers, and was named SEC Sixth Man of the Year. Reeves has really come on lately, with a 37-point performance at Arkansas in Kentucky’s final regular season game.
94. Erik Stevenson – West Virginia
Stevenson has found another home and is thriving in Bob Huggins’ system, with West Virginia being his fourth school in five years. He’s averaging 15.5 points per game and was named Third Team All-Big 12 in his lone season with the Mountaineers. A talented guard, Stevenson is coming on at the right time, scoring at least 20 points in West Virginia’s final five regular season games.
93. Marques Warrick – Northern Kentucky
A rising star in the Horizon League, Warrick was an important part of Northern Kentucky’s return trip to the NCAA Tournament, earning MVP in the Horizon League Tournament. He’s averaging 19.1 points and makes 39% of his 3-pointers; he’s a serious weapon for the Norse, with a 45-point game earlier in the season showing what he’s capable of doing.
92. Ace Baldwin Jr. – VCU
The A10 Player of the Year, everything came together this year for Baldwin, the star point guard who led the Rams back to the NCAA Tournament. He averaged 12.7 points and 5.9 assists per game and was also named Defensive Player of the Year in the conference. Baldwin put up 28 points in an impressive win against Vanderbilt but had an even better 37-point outing at Saint Louis a few weeks ago.
91. Tosan Evbuomwan – Princeton
The Tigers would not be in this spot without Evbuomwan, who’s been a vital wing these last two seasons. This year, he averaged 15.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game and earned First Team All-Ivy League honors for a second straight season, leading the league in assists. His pair of 21-point outings in the Ivy League Tournament was certainly vital for the Tigers.
