Thomas Walkup has been the hero for this program in past tournament wins and he will be looked at to get the job done in the round of 32 against Notre Dame. He leads the team with 18.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game while shooting 59 percent from the field. Watch out for Demetrious Floyd as well; he can fill it up from three-point range.
Notre Dame got past a pesky first-round matchup against the 11th-seeded Michigan Wolverines and the Fighting Irish and Mike Brey will be looking to eliminate a Cinderella.

Demetrius Jackson is taking over the Jerian Grant role on this year’s team. The shifty point guard has been quite impressive, averaging 15.4 points and 4.8 assists per game.
