The 'NCAA Men's Tournament Most Outstanding Player' quiz

Created on April 8, 2025 | Total tries: 15401 | Average Score: 17.8 out of 46 (39%) | Quiz FAQ

Two years removed from averaging 22.2 points and 4.4 assists-per-game at Iona, Walter Clayton Jr. is now a National Champion and NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player for the Florida Gators.

After back-to-back 30-point games in the Elite Eight and Final Four, Clayton was quiet for most of the NCAA Championship against Houston. But his one three-pointer tied the game at 60 with 3:14 to go before preventing Emanuel Sharp from getting a shot up for the Cougars before the final buzzer sounded.

Which brings us to today's quiz. At the conclusion of March Madness, the NCAA hands out the Most Outstanding Player Award to the best player from that year's tournament. How many since 1979 on the men's side can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
