The Pure Hoops Quick Hitters

Wisconsin is back in the dance after missing out last year. Their best player is 6’ 10” Ethan Happ, who puts up numbers but needs to make his free throws. He’s a future NBA player. They lock in on defense and rarely turn the ball over so they don’t beat themselves.

North Carolina is a scoring machine and plays at a fast pace. With freshman Coby White at the point and fellow freshman Nassir Little coming off the bench, the Tar Heels have the firepower to run up big numbers in the tournament.

Nevada is one of the top teams in the nation out of the Mountain West Conference with a number of non-conference wins against Pac 12 teams and an undefeated non-conference record. They play with intensity but also play loose. They’re balanced and tough.

Purdue stumbled in its non conference schedule but is ready for a deep tournament run. They are talented and tough. Carsen Edwards is a future NBA talent and they are well balanced at both ends of the floor.

Kansas State is one of the best defensive teams but spotty offensively. They stay in games with their defense and have future NBA talent in Dean Wade and Xavier Sneed. Barry Brown is a veteran with over 1,700 points in his career, so K-State is tournament ready.
