So, its been a pretty dull year in college basketball.
I mean, aside from Georgia (1) pulling off the miracle of all Championship Week miracles, winning the Tornado Tournament in the SEC. The Bulldogs pulled two upsets in 11 hours and three in 30 hours -- which isn't bad, when you consider they won one game in a span of 37 days during the regular season.
But seniors still have their place in this tournament. Among the teams in the AP Top 25, 10 are led in scoring by a senior: Tennessee, Duke, Georgetown, Xavier, Louisville, Butler, Vanderbilt, Michigan State and Washington State.
Drew Lavender (39), Xavier. Little man (5-foot-7) who pushes the tempo in the Musketeers' fast-paced offense. He's been slowed by an ankle sprain for the past week; Xavier will need him at full-go to make a deep run.
