NCAA Tournament 2023: Power ranking of top 100 players overall from the field
By Joey Loose
65. D’Moi Hodge – Missouri
It’s been a fitting end to Hodge’s collegiate career, following former coach Dennis Gates from Cleveland State and performing well on the SEC stage. Hodge has averaged 14.8 points a game and hit 40% of his 3-pointers. Not only did he lead the SEC in 3-point shooting but he also averaged 2.6 steals a game to lead that category as well, just a year removed from winning Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year.
64. Jarod Lucas – Nevada
A major addition for the Wolf Pack this season, Lucas came to Nevada after three good years at Oregon State. Lucas is an efficient combo guard who averages 17.3 points per game to pace the Wolf Pack. He was also named Second Team All-MWC and was one of the best shooters in the conference, sitting among the leaders from the free throw line and beyond the arc.
63. Logan Johnson – Saint Mary’s
Johnson has been important for the Gaels in recent years and his final collegiate season has seen him average 14.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists this season. He was given First Team All-WCC honors and was named WCC Defensive Player of the Year, making major contributions on both sides of the ball.
62. Sincere Carry – Kent State
Carry’s second year with the Golden Flashes has proven most prosperous as he’s led Kent State to the Big Dance for the first time in six years. He’s averaging 17.6 points and 4.9 assists a game and earned both First Team All-MAC and All-Defense honors for a second straight season. Carry had a 35-point effort in their season finale against Akron and later became MAC Tournament MVP.
61. Baylor Scheierman – Creighton
Scheierman is a talented wing player who last year’s Summit League Player of the Year at South Dakota State. This year, he’s fit in well in a talented Creighton rotation, averaging 12.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game to help bring the Bluejays back into this position. Not only is he an efficient shooter but he’s among the best defensive rebounders in the nation.
