College Gameday names their All-NCAA Tournament team

Before the national championship game, the ESPN College Gameday crew announced their All-NCAA Tournament team. Despite 68 teams making the original tournament, only three teams are represented, with all of them coming from programs that made the Final Four.

Additionally, four of the five are coming from the Kansas Jayhawks and North Carolina Tar Heels, the two teams competing in Monday night’s title game. The Duke Blue Devils are the sole outlier, getting some representation in the starting five.

Here is the full starting five from the College Gameday crew.

• North Carolina C Armando Bacot
• Duke F Paolo Banchero
• Kansas G Ochai Agbaji
• North Carolina G Caleb Love
• North Carolina G R.J. Davis

The three guards in the All-NCAA Tournament teams have been the best scorers throughout March Madness, especially the North Carolina duo. Davis has been averaging 14.6 points per game, including an incredible 30 point performance against the Baylor Bears. As for Love, he has been in double figures in four of the five games. He dropped 30 against the UCLA Bruins in the Sweet 16 and an incredible 28 against Duke in the Elite Eight.

As for Agbaji, he has really turned it on over the past two games. Against the Miami Hurricanes in the Elite Eight, the Kansas guard had 18 points, making eight of his 12 shots from the field. He also put on a show against Villanova in the Final Four, dropping 21 points. However, the most impressive stat for Agbaji may be his three-point shooting, only missing one of his nine attempts. He’s been lethal for the Jayhawks down the stretch.

Moving to the big men, Bacot has been a rebounding machine in all five tournament games. While he will have a chance to add on during the national championship, Bacot is averaging 16.6 rebounds per game. In fact, he has a double-double in every single NCAA Tournament game thus far. Truly incredible.

Banchero, while he might not be playing on Monday night, was outstanding as well. He got double-doubles against Cal State Fullerton and North Carolina while having a personal tournament-high of 22 points against the Texas Tech Red Raiders in the Sweet Sixteen. The lone true freshman on the list, Banchero was the star during Coach K’s final NCAA Tournament run.
