Players to Watch

Mike Rosario, G, Florida

Even with the loss to Kentucky to finish the regular season, there is no doubt that the Gators are the best team in this tournament. 

Billy Donovan's squad has had a firm hold atop the KenPom.com rankings for much of the season due to its efficient, balanced offense and extremely stout defense. 

Rosario is a senior guard who gets it done on both ends of the floor and is one of several players who can produce points for the Gators. 

Florida's success will not come down to just one player, but if Rosario sets the tone for this team, it has a chance to cruise through the competition. 

Marshall Henderson, G, Ole Miss

Any fans who have not watched Henderson play this season should certainly catch one of Ole Miss' games in this tournament. 

The junior guard is a streaky shooter who is capable of taking over a game. When he gets hot, he will let you know. 

He has made headlines this season by raining down three-pointers and then taunting opposing fans. Henderson has embraced the villain role and loves to put on a show. 

If he finds his stroke in this tournament, the Rebels have a chance to go on an impressive run. 

Archie Goodwin, G, Kentucky

The Wildcats' NCAA tournament hopes seemed to go down with Nerlens Noel, but now there is life again in Lexington. 

A huge win against Florida to end the season has Kentucky in a position where an impressive showing in the SEC Tournament can lead to a ticket to March Madness. 

To have success against the other teams in the conference, John Calipari will look to Goodwin to lead the scoring effort. 

If the freshman guard gets hot, the Wildcats just might be dancing after all.
