Round of 32 vs. Ohio State
nERD: 54.95

It's probably not an overstatement to say that the Gonzaga Bulldogs would not be alive in this tournament without Zach Norvell.
Norvell hit a huge three with less than 30 seconds remaining to break a tie against the North Carolina-Greensboro Spartans in the Round of 64.

And then came his performance against Ohio State. After averaging fewer than 4 boards per game on the season, the fact that the 6'5" guard grabbed 12 rebounds was quite impressive. But if you combine that with 28 points, including 6-of-11 from 3-point range, 4 assists and 2 steals, you see how truly phenomenal a performance he put in.
