Players 1 and 2

Dorsey has been on fire the past couple of weeks. He has scored 20 points in seven straight games and has been a matchup nightmare for so many teams. He was rewarded for his stellar play by being named to the Midwest Regional All Tournament team.

In four NCAA Tournament games, Dorsey is averaging 24.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.5 steals. Dorsey ranks among the top five in players remaining in steals and minutes played. He is second overall in points scored, while also ranking first in three pointers made and true shooting percentage.

His best tournament game came in a win over Rhode Island in the Second Round. In that game, Dorsey had 27 points and five rebounds. Additionally, he had three assists, three steals, and shot 9-of-10 from the floor, including 4-of-5 from downtown for the Ducks.

Number one in the program and number one in these rankings, Jordan Bell has been a beast. Bell has taken over for the loss of Chris Boucher and is the main reason why the Ducks are in Phoenix. For his efforts Bell was named Midwest Regional Most Outstanding Player.

In four NCAA Tournament games, Bell is averaging 12.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 3 blocks. Bell ranks first among all remaining players in rebounds and blocks. He also ranks top five in true shooting percentage and intangibles percentage, while ranking top ten in points scored and minutes played.

Bell’s best tournament game came in a win over Kansas in the Elite Eight. In that game, Bell had 11 points and 13 rebounds for a double-double. Additionally, he had eight blocks and shot 5-of-6 from the floor for the Ducks.

Well, that does it for the Top 25 Ultimate Final Four rankings. If you took an average of each team’s players, North Carolina is the best. Of course, these are just the guys playing well up to Arizona. You never know who may step it up in Phoenix.

Could it be Theo Pinson who just missed the cut? Or maybe even Tony Bradley who hadn’t played enough to be eligible for this list? You never know. So get ready because the Final Four isn’t the end. It’s just the beginning.
