Top 10 players from the East Region of the NCAA Tournament
9. Riley Minix, G, Morehead State
Another small-school star, Minix has done a bit of everything for the Eagles, averaging a double-double with 22.2 points and 10.3 rebounds a game. He ranks No. 23 in the country in scoring and No. 26 in rebounding, showing how elite he is in both categories.
This earned Minix Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year honors as he helped his No. 3-seed Morehead State team beat No. 1-seed Little Rock to win the OVC tournament. With the 14-seed Eagles going up against 3-seed Illinois, Minix will have to come up big both as a scorer and rebounder for his team to pull an upset.
