Players to Watch:

G Ebuka Okorie (STAN): The true freshman has had a stellar season, posting 22.8 points per game, making him the nation's eighth-leading scorer. He's shooting 46% from the field and 36% from three-point range while also recording 3.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists per night.

G Treysen Eaglestaff (WVU): Maybe since the pressure isn't as high, Eaglestaff will play more freely and with more confidence than he has at any point this season. If he does, everyone will be like, 'Where has this been all season?' and I can totally see it happening. I could be way off here, but this feels like a game where he can go off for 20+.
