Much like Brunson, Kansas' Devonte' Graham won't be caught up in the bright lights of this year's tournament. Graham's a 23-year-old senior with 10 tournament games under his belt, which includes four from a year ago when the Jayhawks ended their run in the Elite Eight.

In those contests, Graham averaged 15.8 points and 3.0 assists, but his season ended on a sour note as he went without a field goal and finished with just three points in a loss to the Oregon Ducks. To say he has something to prove would be an accurate statement.

So far this year, Graham's let his play do the talking. En route to being named a Wooden Award finalist, he's led his team with 6.2 win shares on the back of 17.3 points, 7.5 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals a game. His 254 assists are tied for 3rd while his 4.5 offensive win shares put him in a tie for 10th in the nation.

As Graham starts his final collegiate run, he'll do so in opposition of the 16-seeded Pennsylvania Quakers on Thursday afternoon.
