As the 2022-23 college basketball season quickly nears a close following a riveting NCAA Tournament, the ESPN College GameDay crew is sharing some of their final insights. And the crew has voted on an All-NCAA Tournament Team of five players.

Naturally, most of the selections are of players who had the chance to prove themselves through multiple rounds.

In fact, all but one of the players come from a team that was in the Final Four, with Kansas State guard Markquis Nowell the only one who was not on a Final Four team.

UConn, which will play in tonight’s NCAA Tournament championship game against San Diego State, had multiple selections on the team.

So without further ado, here is the ESPN College GameDay crew’s All-NCAA Tournament Team. The number listed in parentheses is the number of GameDay crew members who voted for the player (with a maximum of four).
