Most NBA Talent on March Madness Rosters
One method for picking your brackets is going with the teams with the most NBA-level talent that can just take over in March Madness as superstar freshman reach that level.
The following is a list of all players in March Madness who are dominant enough to be likely to be drafted to play in the NBA either this year or next. These rankings will be explained in a story on MarquetteHoops.com.
For each player we list his height, year in school, the position he plays right now for the school (or if he is out), then the position he would play in the NBA and what number his is expected to go in the draft (#1-60 means ready to do in this year's draft, while #61-120 means expected to go in the 2025 draft).
Only 26 of 68 March Madness teams have even a single projected NBA draft pick, and only 12 teams have more than one starting this year.
Adding the seeds and dropping 12 that did not make it
Below is the same sheet we printed before the selections were made and final championships played. We left these in alphabetical order, but dropped the 12 teams who did not make it to the bottom, and then added the region and seed for the 68 teams that did make it.

Providence 1960 advances to play McAdoo's UNC with 76-71 Win Against Marshall (Greer vs. Wilkens)
The following are the cards for Providence 1960 vs. Marshall 1956 are laid out. Part of the reason we want to play each team once is to make sure the stamina and suggested rotations make sense on the bottom of the cards. Here they are written in and we will add these suggested ranges of putting players in games.
Below that is the scoresheet. Providence won 76-71 with the benefit of an incredible four "and-ones" in the final 5 minutes. The last one was decisive as it fouled Charlie Slack out of the game and later he would have grabbed anl key offensive rebound on a "high in game" since both he and opposing center James Hednot have 1-10 ranges and a tie goes to the offensive player.
His backup Bob Ashley was also 1-10, but because he had already used his stamina earlier in the game and just come back in for the foul out, all rolls that involve him (on offense of defense) are adjusted by 1 against him, so in this case he was considered a 1-9 and did not grab the rebound.

20 Lead Changes End With LSU Upset of Georgetown (Pettit Over Iverson)
A record 20 lead changes in a Value Add Basketball Game between Georgetown 1995 and LSU 1953 ended in the first elimination of one of the six great player teams that received a bye. Eight first half turnovers by Georgetown helped LSU go to the break with a 33-29 lead, but once the Hoyas rallied for a 36-35 lead with 28 possessions (16:51) to play, the game went back and forth until two huge offensive rebounds by Bob Pettit put the Tigers ahead for good.
Pettit averaged 27 points and 14 rebounds in his LSU career and almost the same in a decade in the NBA. He was NBA Rookie if the year, and⁹9 then the next 9 years was in the top 6 of MVP voting every year - winning the award twice. So his 28 points and 11 rebound in this game was just another day at the office.
LSU, the 11-seed in our tournament, missed shot trailing 65-64 with 6 possessions (3.21) left to play. However, Pettit grabbed the offensive rebound and dished to fellow dominant rebounder Ned Clark, who was fouled. Clark hit the first free throw to tie the game, and when he missed the second shot Pettit grabbed the offensive rebound again (on free throws the offense grabs the rebound less than 20 percent of the time compared to almost 40% on a missed field goal) and put it in to make it 67-65.
The Hoyas last chance was with 3 possessions (1:30) to play when Allen Iverson came up with his sixth steal trailing 71-67, but could not convert at the other end and Pettit's next basket made it 73-67. Iverson's final dunk at the end of the game simply tightened the final score. Below is the box score, updated bracket with LSU advancing to the Elite 8 of the new Great Players tournament, and the scoresheet to show the flow of the game with the 20 lead changes though only 6 tied scores as the teams normally traded 1-point leads.
LSU did make the 1953 Final 4 and Georgetown just the Sweet 16, but the Hoyas cards appear several points better after facing tougher competition in their season and having two road wins against top 20 teams (Villanova and Syracuse).
With four of the five top seeds advancing, the last one to play is Bob McAdoo's UNC 1972 team, which will await the winner of the Providence vs. Marshall game. (incorrect box score originally posted, now corrected)
