3. Jae Crowder is the emerging star of the tournament

It's not very often that the Big East player of the year flies under the radar in the discussion of the country's best players, but that has happened all year long with Crowder. I'm not sure how much longer it will last, though, because against Murray State on Saturday Crowder showed that he is the most versatile player in the country and that he can carry a team to the Final Four. As excited as I am to see Florida and Marquette race to 100 points on Thursday, I think I'm more excited about a possible Crowder-Draymond Green matchup in the Elite Eight, because both of those guys do more for their teams than any other player left in the tournament.

• The more games he plays, the more Jae Crowder shows he was the clear choice for Big East Player of the Year
