7 Players Who Can Take Over the NCAA Tournament

T.J. McConnell, Arizona

As the 2 seed in the West, Arizona's nERD of 20.30 ranks behind only Kentucky in our power rankings. We've liked Arizona's Final Four chances for a while now. To get there, they'll need their floor general and leader T.J. McConnell to continue to impose his will on games.

McConnell isn't going to light up a scoreboard, as he averages just 9.8 points per game. What the senior point guard is going to do is be a second coach on the floor, play insane defense, and set his teammates up with pinpoint passes for easy buckets. McConnell ranks third in the tournament with 6.4 assists per game and also has some offensive potential to drive to the basket for layups and to hit elbow jumpers.

By then, most opponents are decimated by McConnell's in-your-face style.
