With the NCAA Tournament kicking off this week, see which players are favored to take home the MVP award for this year's March Madness.
Marcus Sasser has led the charge for a Houston Cougars program that heads into the tournament with a 31-3 record. Sasser appeared in 32 games this season for Houston, producing a team-best 17.5 points per game. However, the Senior suffered an injury in the Cougars' seminfinal game in the first half and did not suit up Sunday against Memphis.
If Sasser can come back 100% he'll play a major role in a big run from Houston this spring. The 6-foot-7 forward will have one last chance to claim National title glory and will be ready to give it his all ahead of this year's NBA draft to increase his stock.Sasser's teammate Jarace Walker sits right behind him at +900 on the odds board and will also play a major role if Houston makes deep. Walker is a prjected lottery pick in the upcoming draft and has averaged 11 points, 6.
With Houston as the Midwest's No. 1 seed it's no surprise the Top 2 players are from that team. The question remains, if the Cougars do make it to the Final Four, will it be the Freshman or the Senior that makes the biggest impact?There was no shortage of drama surrounding Alabama this season and more specifically Brandon Miller, but alas here we are. Alabama captured SEC honors on Sunday with Brandon Miller putting up 23 points and 12 boards to outshine a 5-for-20 shooting performance.
Miller is projected to go Top 3 in the draft and has certainly increased his stock already with his play for the No. 1 seeded Crimson Tide. The 6-foot-9 forward averaged 19.5 ppg game this year and has looked unwavered through all the controversy he's been through, so he remains a great choice for this year's MVP if Bama can go deep.With the bracket now released, MVP odds for March Madness have hit the board.
