Alex Karaban, UConn
Closing in on 150 career games and already UConn’s all-time winningest player, Karaban enters the Sweet 16 off a career-best 27-point outing. It prompted one of the tournament’s best quotes from Huskies coach Dan Hurley.
“He’s not going down without firing all of his bullets.”
Yaxel Lendeborg, Michigan
After a quiet first-round game in Michigan’s win against First Four survivor Howard, Lendeborg regained form to help send Dusty May’s Wolverines to the Sweet 16 with 25 points in just 32 minutes. It marked his eighth game this season of 20 or more points, but it doesn’t fully illuminate his value. Lendeborg added six boards and didn’t commit a turnover in either game.
