Men’s March Madness 2023: The All-Tournament Team After the National Championship
0 of 6

The 2023 NCAA men’s tournament is over, and the UConn Huskies are national champions.
Their run of dominance through the tournament field continued on Monday night with a dominant 76-59 victory over San Diego State. It is the Huskies fifth national title since they hoisted their first banner in 1999.
With March Madness over, it’s now time to pick our All-Tournament Team, with five first-team and five second-team spots up for grabs.
To be considered for inclusion, a player had to have reached the Elite Eight, and first-team honors were reserved for players who appeared in the Final Four.
Let the debate begin!
Second Team
1 of 6
- Markquis NowellBen Solomon/NCAA Photos via Getty Images
Markquis Nowell, Kansas State
Nowell averaged 23.5 points and 13.5 assists while setting an NCAA tournament record with 19 assists in an overtime win against Michigan State in the Sweet 16. The 5’7″ point guard shot just 8-of-21 from the floor against Florida Atlantic in the Elite Eight but still finished with 30 points, 12 assists and five steals.
Drew Timme, Gonzaga
Timme got into foul trouble against UConn in the Elite Eight and finished with just 12 points on 5-of-14 shooting, but even with that down game, his overall tournament numbers were still excellent for the second successive year. The 6’10” forward averaged 24.3 points and 9.3 assists through four games, and his 36-point, 13-rebound performance against UCLA in the Sweet 16 was one of the best individual performances of the tournament.
Ryan Kalkbrenner, Creighton
Kalkbrenner had perhaps the best first-round performance of any player in this year’s tournament, lighting up NC State for 31 points on 11-of-14 shooting while adding seven rebounds and three blocks. The 7’0″ junior averaged 20.0 points on 60.4 percent shooting in his four tournament games.
Nijel Pack, Miami
Pack led the charge in Miami’s upset win against No. 1 seed Houston in the Sweet 16, knocking down 7-of-10 three-point attempts on his way to 26 points. He scored just 23 points combined against Texas and UConn in the Hurricanes’ next two games, but he still averaged 16.4 points while connecting on 15-of-33 attempts from beyond the arc.
Marcus Carr, Texas
Carr averaged 15.5 points, 4.8 assists and 2.5 rebounds while connecting on 9-of-20 from distance in four NCAA tournament games, and he was the best player on the Texas roster all season. The Longhorns ended up being the last team standing from the top two seed lines with their trip to the Elite Eight.
Lamont Butler, San Diego State

Why not reward the player who hit the biggest shot of the tournament with first-team honors?
Lamont Butler drilled the game-winning buzzer-beater against Florida Atlantic in the Final Four to punch the Aztecs’ ticket to the title game, but that was far from his only contributions to the team’s surprise title game run.
The 6’6″ guard averaged 10.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.2 steals in six tournament games, including a team-high 18 points against Creighton in the Elite Eight and 13 points on 5-of-11 shooting in the championship game.
The Mountain West All-Defensive team pick was also an integral part of the Aztecs’ smothering defense, which keyed their upset victories over high-powered Alabama and Creighton teams on the road to the Final Four.
Alijah Martin, Florida Atlantic

The Florida Atlantic Owls were the 2023 NCAA tournament’s biggest Cinderella story, reaching the Final Four on the strength of a deep nine-man rotation that did not rely on any one go-to scorer.
Johnell Davis stole the headlines early with a 29-point, 12-rebound, five-assist, five-steal game against Fairleigh Dickinson in the second round, but it was Alijah Davis who shouldered the scoring load after the opening weekend.
The 6’2″ guard had a team-high 17 points against Kansas State in the Elite Eight. He then exploded for 26 points against San Diego State in the Final Four, with 19 coming in the second half when the Owls briefly built a 14-point lead.
He entered the NCAA tournament with as much momentum as anyone after a season-high 30 points against UAB in the Conference USA tournament title game, and he wrapped up his first March Madness with averages of 15.2 points and 4.4 rebounds.
Jordan Miller, Miami

The Miami Hurricanes don’t reach the Final Four without Jordan Miller.
The 6’6″ guard found nothing but the bottom of the net in the team’s comeback win against Texas in the Elite Eight, hitting on 7-of-7 from the floor and 13-of-13 from the free-throw line for a season-high 27 points.
After a forgettable seven-point performance against Drake in the first round, Miller settled in as a reliable scoring option, averaging 15. 4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists while also adding six blocks and two steals.
The George Mason transfer wrapped up his fifth collegiate season and second year at Miami averaging 15.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists, and with his strong March showing, he may have played his way into the second-round conversation in the upcoming NBA draft.
Jordan Hawkins, UConn
5 of 6

Jordan Hawkins has scored in double-figures and knocked down at least three three-pointers in each of UConn’s first five games in the NCAA tournament, providing crucial perimeter scoring to help open things up for Adama Sanogo on the inside.
Hawkins has a bright NBA future thanks to his shooting ability, and it was on full display against Gonzaga in the Elite Eight.
The 6’5″ guard buried 6-of-10 attempts from beyond the arc en route to 20 points in a blowout win against the Bulldogs, and that came after he torched Arkansas for 24 points on only 13 shot attempts in 28 minutes.
All told, he averaged 16.3 points on 21-of-42 shooting from three-point range in six tournament games, and there is little doubt scouts have taken notice of his sharpshooting abilities.
Adama Sanogo, UConn
6 of 6
- Gregory Shamus/Getty Images
Adama Sanogo did a little bit of everything in UConn’s victory over Miami in the Final Four, finishing with 21 points, 10 rebounds, two blocks and even a pair of made three-pointers to bring his season total to 19.
The 6’9″, 240-pound forward had his way inside against Norchad Omier to win an important individual battle and propel the Huskies to the national championship game.
He followed that up with a 17-points, 10-rebound performance on Monday night to clinch Most Outstanding Player honors for the 2023 NCAA tournament. It was his fourth double-double of the tournament, and he did it on just nine shot attempts while also playing stellar interior defense.
Sanogo was a force all tournament, averaging 19. 7 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks while shooting 66.7 percent from the floor, and those numbers would look even more efficient with a 3-of-11 shooting performance against Gonzaga removed from the equation.
While the game has become more and more perimeter-oriented over the years, Sanogo has proven that a team can still ride a go-to big man offensively all the way to the national championship game.

NCAA Tournament 2023: The All-Tournament Team Ahead of the Sweet 16
0 of 6
- Drew TimmeJustin Edmonds/Getty Images
Four days of clutch shots, upsets and general mayhem enveloped the opening rounds of the 2023 men’s NCAA tournament, and the days leading up to the Sweet 16 provide a chance to reset all the action.
By this point, you probably know the teams. Top seeds Alabama and Houston headline the remaining field, which includes Cinderella stories Florida Atlantic and Princeton. And there are well-known programs—Gonzaga, Michigan State and UCLA, among them—in between.
Because of the nonstop action, however, you might’ve missed the best players of the tournament so far.
Since we’re only through the first weekend, a couple of standout individuals are included in spite of their team suffering a loss. Each player at least advanced to the second round, though.
The selections are subjective to a degree but lean heavily on box-score production while considering key in-game contributions.
Second Team
1 of 6
- AP Photo/Michael Conroy
Johnell Davis, Florida Atlantic
Johnell Davis scored 10 of his 12 points in the second half of FAU’s win over Memphis, including clutch three-pointers on back-to-back possessions late in the game. Then, he racked up 29 points, 12 rebounds, five assists and five steals to end Fairleigh Dickinson’s Cinderella story.
Davonte Davis, Arkansas
Arkansas has leaned on Davonte Davis, a standout defender who provided 16 points, six rebounds and four steals in the opener against Illinois. Three of his four steals immediately led to a bucket. Davis followed that performance up with 25 points and eight rebounds in the upset of top-seeded Kansas. So far, he’s shot a terrific 16-of-29 from the floor.
Mike Miles Jr., TCU
TCU’s tourney is over after falling to Gonzaga in the second round. Mike Miles Jr., though, assembled an excellent two-game run. He tallied 26 points and three assists to lead TCU past Arizona State and provided 24 points with four assists and two steals against Gonzaga.
Anton Watson, Gonzaga
Speaking of the Zags: Who doesn’t love a glue guy? Anton Watson is a critical part of the program’s success. Through two games, he’s registered 23 points and 23 rebounds—including 11 offensive boards—with seven assists, five steals and two blocks.
Dylan Disu, Texas
One of two players with a double-double in both rounds, Dylan Disu played a leading role in the Longhorns’ second-round win. He overwhelmed Penn State with 28 points on 14-of-20 shooting, adding 10 rebounds and two steals. Disu also netted 17 points and grabbed 10 boards in the earlier victory over Colgate.
First Team: Markquis Nowell, Kansas State

Given he stands just 5’7″, Markquis Nowell carries the label of being an “undersized” player.
Another label? All-American.
As he did throughout the regular season, the playmaking guard has shown off his two-way excellence in March Madness. Nowell torched Montana State for 17 points and 14 assists before ripping Kentucky’s defense apart to the tune of 27 points and nine assists. Along with burying six of 14 threes, he’s nabbed three steals in each game.
Nowell has vaulted K-State to only its third Sweet 16 appearance in the last three-plus decades.
First Team: Drew Timme, Gonzaga
3 of 6

From a roster-construction perspective, the remainder of the list is nonsensical. However, since we’re not building a rotation, we’re not plugging guards into a predetermined spot over a more deserving forward or center.
And so, welcome back, Drew Timme!
The longtime Gonzaga star, a B/R first-team member of the 2021 tournament, has surged to another strong start. Timme put up 21 points on Grand Canyon and netted 28 against TCU, and he had a combined 14 rebounds, six assists and four blocks in those victories.
Timme’s next challenge is opposite UCLA, against whom he’s scored 25 and 18 points in two previous games.
First Team: Adama Sanogo, UConn
4 of 6
- C. Morgan Engel/NCAA Photos via Getty Images
In a word: Whew.
Connecticut’s physical forward has straight-up dominated in victories over Iona and Saint Mary’s.
During the opening win, Adama Sanogo shot 13-of-17 for 28 points and secured 13 rebounds. Then, against an elite Saint Mary’s defense, he finished 11-of-16 with 24 points and eight rebounds. He also blocked a shot in both games.
Heading into the Sweet 16, Sanogo has a tournament-best 72.7 field-goal percentage among players with 20-plus shots.
First Team: Trayce Jackson-Davis, Indiana
5 of 6
- C. Morgan Engel/NCAA Photos via Getty Images
Although he assuredly won’t remain a first-team choice, Trayce Jackson-Davis absolutely deserves a place right now.
During the opening round, TJD overpowered Kent State with 24 points on 10-of-17 shooting and corralled 11 rebounds. He also dished five assists and swatted five shots in the win.
Miami eliminated the Hoosiers in the next round, but Jackson-Davis is the reason they had a chance. He tallied 23 points on 7-of-10 shooting, buried nine of his 11 free throws, grabbed eight rebounds and blocked five more shots in what was likely the final game of his IU career.
Jackson-Davis has since informally declared for the 2023 NBA draft.
First Team: Oscar Tshiebwe, Kentucky
6 of 6

Similarly, expect a short stay from Oscar Tshiebwe after Kentucky lost to Kansas State in the second round.
But his production was ridiculous.
Tshiebwe scored eight points and grabbed an absurd 25 rebounds with three steals, two assists and two blocks in Kentucky’s victory over Providence. He then contributed 25 points and 18 rebounds, two steals and an assist in the season-ending loss to Kansas State.
The two-time All-American and the 2021-22 National Player of the Year again did everything in his power to carry the ‘Cats. He amassed 30 points and 16 rebounds in UK’s lone tournament game last season.
For the second straight year, however, it still wasn’t enough.
