5 mid-major players who could star in the 2025 NCAA Tournament
Nique Clifford, G, Colorado State
Clifford is one of the best defenders in the MWC and was named to the conference’s all-defense first team. The Rams’ guard is also a threat from deep, shooting 40% from the 3-point line and averaging 19 points. Niko Medved is one of the better coaches at the mid-major level and he will rely on Clifford to help Colorado State make a run.
Nique Clifford dropped 36 points on 18 shots to help Colorado State pick up a key road win at Boise State. The versatile 6-foot-6 super senior is shooting 39% from three on career-high volume this season.
