1. Shabazz Napier, PG, Sr., Connecticut Huskies -- He's the best player left in the tourney, but he doesn't have the same supporting cast as the other stars. Napier can score, distribute, defend, rebound his position and lead. He's been tremendous all year long.
9. DeAndre Daniels, 6-9, F, Jr., Connecticut -- He's an enigma but can be a game-changer when he plays with intensity. He's been far more consistent of late with eight consecutive games in double figures.
15. Ryan Boatright, 6-0, G, Jr., Connecticut -- He once committed to Tim Floyd and USC in the eighth grade. Boatright is an athletic guard who can play out of control at times, but he can also be a factor if he gets going.
20. Amida Brimah, 7-0, C, Fr., Connecticut -- Despite not being much of a threat on the offensive end, he's long, active and can change the game with his ability to block and alter shots.
25. Niels Giffey, 6-7, SF, Sr., Connecticut -- He's become UConn's most effective perimeter shooter this season, making 49 percent of his 3s. He's a nice role player for Kevin Ollie & Co.
26. Lasan Kromah, 6-6, SG-SF, Sr., Connecticut -- A one-year transfer from George Washington who has been critical for the Huskies due to his ability to play both ends of the court. Just a great "glue guy."
27. Terrence Samuel, 6-4, G, Fr., Connecticut -- He's the guy who Kevin Ollie playfully smacked in the face after video-bombing him during a postgame interview. Samuel's minutes are sporadic, but he played well against Iowa State and Villanova in the tourney.
32. Omar Calhoun, 6-6, SG, Soph., Connecticut -- It appeared as though the Brooklyn native would have a more significant role this season, but he's averaging 13 minutes per game -- largely due to the addition of GW transfer Kromah.
35. Tyler Olander, 6-10, C, Sr., Connecticut -- Has been a starter in the past, but almost out of necessity. Though he rarely plays, he has experience and could get minutes in a pinch.
36. Kentan Facey, 6-9, PF, Fr., Connecticut -- He's a top-100 player who will make an impact in time with the Huskies. At the moment he's raw and not quite ready.
40. Phillip Nolan, 6-10, C, Soph., Connecticut -- The Milwaukee native has a chance to be a decent player. He's gotten a ton of run, but he's averaging 3.5 points and 2.4 boards as a reserve big man.
42. Leon Tolksdorf, 6-8, F, Soph., Connecticut -- The native of Germany has only gotten in 13 games this season and logged 47 total minutes. Don't expect to see him without his warm-ups on in North Texas.
50. Pat Lenehan, 6-3, G, Jr., Connecticut -- He's logged a hefty 21 minutes and scored four points this season. I hope he gets on the board somehow.
53. Tor Watts, 6-1, G, Sr., Connecticut -- He's got a bio on the site, but not much else. Watts hails from Brooklyn and might be doing his best Scottie Wilbekin impersonation on the Huskies scout team this week.
55. Nnamdi Amilo, N/A, Connecticut -- He's got no bio, but has played five minutes this season for the Huskies. I'm on a mission to find out more about Nnamdi.
Lenehan is vastly underrated
