Clayton Custer, Loyola-Chicago

What he’s done: On a team that’s had a different leading scorer in each NCAA tourney game, Clayton Custer has been the most consistent performer among its starters. The 6’0″ junior guard has averaged 11.5 points and 4.0 assists while shooting 56.3 percent overall and 57.1 percent from three.

Why he’s here: Custer is the engine that has driven the Ramblers’ stunning run through the tournament, scoring 10 or more in each of the three one-possession victories to get to the Elite Eight. He was just 2-of-8 from the field against Kansas State, though, only the sixth time all season he’s failed to score in double digits.official nfl jerseys cheap

What to expect: Custer’s the main ball-handler and distributor for Loyola, finding himself feeding an open teammate or working off a screen to get a layup on most possessions. He has a great knack for drawing defenders on some possessions and getting them to forget about him on others.nfl authentic jerseys

What he’s done: Only Kansas’ Malik Newman has made more three-pointers among Final Four participants than Mikal Bridges, who is 11-of-24 from outside in four games. The 6’7″ junior guard is averaging 16 points in the NCAA tourney, highlighted by 23 (including five three-pointers) against Alabama in the second round.nfl jersey wholesale

Why he’s here: Had Bridges not been ice-cold in the Elite Eight, missing all five threes and going 3-of-10 overall, he might be ranked higher. It was only the fourth time all season he failed to connect from deep, averaging 10 points in those games compared to 17.8 for the season.nfl authentic jerseys cheap

What to expect: Bridges doesn’t stay cold from outside for long, not when he’s shooting 43.6 percent overall. Look for fellow junior guard Jalen Brunson to find him early when open to get his confidence back up, and then Bridges will take care of the rest.

What he’s done: A 44.7 percent three-point shooter on the season, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk has gone 8-of-21 from deep in the NCAA tournament. None was bigger than his triple with 27 seconds left in regulation in the Elite Eight against Duke, forcing the game into overtime where Kansas came out on top.

Why he’s here: The 6’8″ senior guard has averaged 11.5 points and 3.8 assists per game in the tourney, showing a greater willingness to drive to the rim and not just settle for outside shots. But his 114 threes, tied for 10th most in Division I, are what he’s best known for.best nfl jerseys

What to expect: Villanova will look to push Mykhailiuk off the three-point line and force him into mid-range jumpers or to drive into the defense. Kansas won’t mind, as it is 10-1 when Mykhailiuk attempts more twos than threes in a game.
