Men's NCAA Tournament 2024: Ranking the Top 20 Players in the Sweet 16 | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

15. PJ Hall, Clemson

PJ Hall helplessly watched from the bench as Clemson finished off its nerve-wracking second-round win against Baylor. He had tallied 14 points before fouling out. Nevertheless, he's the leader of a roster that is hoping to give the program only its second-ever Elite Eight appearance—and, perhaps, a debut trip to the Final Four.

14. Armando Bacot, North Carolina

Staying in the ACC, top-seeded UNC has dispatched Wagner and Michigan State, and Armando Bacot made a big impact in both victories. The veteran center registered 20 points and 15 rebounds against Wagner, and he finished with 18 points, seven boards, three assists and two blocks against MSU.

13. Tamin Lipsey, Iowa State

Tamin Lipsey rarely posts monstrous numbers, but he contributes in so many ways. That scouting report has remained true in March Madness, starting with his 17 points, seven assists and two steals against South Dakota State in the Round of 64. While the second-round win over Washington State wasn't glamorous for Iowa State as a collective, Lipsey posted 14 points, five rebounds and four assists.

12. Caleb Love, Arizona

Arizona certainly doesn't make it easy on its fanbase, that's for sure. However, the Wildcats knocked out Long Beach State and Dayton as Caleb Love put together a pair of solid games. He needs to shoot more efficiently in the later rounds, but a combined 37 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists is a decent start for Arizona's star guard.

11. Baylor Scheierman, Creighton

An early hero of the Big Dance, Baylor Scheierman hit a clutch fadeaway to force overtime in the second round against Oregon. Through two games, he's also drilled 7-of-14 threes while scoring 15 and 18 points, respectively, opposite Akron and Oregon. Creighton takes on second-seeded Tennessee on Friday in a fascinating Sweet 16 matchup.
