_{“🟢” for active games.}

After the opening First Four matchup begins Tuesday, March 14th at 6:40 p.m. EST, the 2023 NCAA March Madness tournament will finally and officially be upon us. With no real favourites this year it’s set to be an ultra competitive tournament, featuring plenty of upsets, as usual.

The bracket contains 24 Canadians, including Naismith College Player of the Year favourite, Toronto’s own, Zach Edey. Ontario is represented by 18 of the 24 Canadian D1 ballers gracing the court this March Madness, and 14 of them come from the Greater Toronto Area.

With a handful of the northerners playing key roles for their schools, there will be plenty of names to look out for.

Canadian Players in the Tournament

Zach Edey #15, (1) Purdue +1100

Center
Junior
7’4″, 290 lbs
Toronto, Ontario
22.3 PTS, 1.5 AST, 12.8 REB, 0.2 STL, 2.1 BLK, 2.3 T0, on 60.6% FG and 73.6% FT in 31.5 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

At 7’4″, 290-pounds, Zach Edey has consistently dominated smaller big men around the collegiate level on the block. He has plowed through the Big 10 with the Boilermakers this year, finishing 29-5 (15-5 in conference), and winning the Big 10 tournament thanks to a 5-game win-streak to close it out.

As previously mentioned, he’s rounding the final turn with a healthy lead in the race to secure the Naismith College Player of the Year. An award he’d be adding to a collection which already boasts the Associated Press Big 10 Player of the Year, Sporting News’ National Player of the Year, and the College Game Day Player of the Year, which were all announced just last week.

Zach is projected to be selected in the 2nd round of the NBA draft, if selected at all. NBA scouts have reasonable concern for his lack of mobility and range. While Edey has remained a considerable post presence at Purdue for a couple of years now, a lacking combination of shooting, agility and speed hoists a red flag when translating his skill-set to the pros, which casts a shadow over his post-dominance.

Aside from draft talk, Edey’s Boilermakers are set to make a run for the title as the 4th favourites, and look for the Canadian big to be their primary option throughout the tournament. Edey is likely to be the only Canadian in the tournament to declare for next year’s NBA Draft and the only Canadian aside from G-League Ignites’ Leonard Miller from Scarborough, Ontario, who could see himself land in the top-20.

Marcus Carr #5, (2) Texas +1600

Guard
Senior
6’2″, 175 lbs
Toronto, Ontario
15.9 PTS, 4.1 AST, 3.0 REB, 1.8 STL, 0.0 BLK, 1.5 TO, on 42.6% FG, 36% 3PT, and 77.2% FT in 33.7 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

Marcus Carr moved to Texas for his senior season after playing at Pittsburgh, then Minnesota. Now a super senior, Marcus is looking to make a lasting impact on the bracket with the Longhorns, who enter the tournament as 7th favourites.

Carr has had success scoring the ball inside throughout his collegiate career, and Texas looks for him to captain the offence and distribute the ball while also being the primary scoring option when the shot-clock’s running low, leading the team in PPG. If Marcus is able to find comfort shooting the deep ball this March, he will cause serious problems for opposing defences.

Ryan Nembhard #2, (6) Creighton +4000

Guard
Sophomore
6’0″, 170 lbs
Aurora, Ontario
11.9 PTS, 4.9 AST, 4.1 REB, 0.7 STL, 0.1 BLK, 2.1 TO, on 42.6% FG, 36.8% 3PT, and 85.7% FT in 33.8 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

The brother of Pacers’ guard Andrew Nembhard (who dazzled at the Jordan Rising Stars Tournament), is the heart and motor of the Creighton Blue Jays this season. He has solidified himself as one of the most promising Canadians in the NCAA. While scoring in double-figures, Nembhard leads the Jays in minutes, assists and free throw percentage.

Nembhard tops off a terrific starting 5 at Creighton, providing open looks for their well-rounded lineup. Creighton are the 17th highest favoured team to come home champions. Look for the Ryan-to-Ryan pick-and-roll to be a major constant in the tournament between Nembhard and Creighton’s scoring spearhead and center, Ryan Kalkbrenner.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper #12, (2) Marquette +2000

Forward
Junior
6’8″, 230 lbs
Montreal, Quebec
12.4 PTS, 0.7 AST, 4.6 REB, 0.9 STL, 0.1 BLK, 1.5 TO, on 51.3% FG, 33.3% 3PT, and 73.8% FT in 28.8 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

A third option for a deep Marquette Golden Eagles roster, Prosper has had a terrific junior year. Marquette’s +2000 to win the title is good enough for 11th, with a 28-6 record this year. Prosper can be a threat from deep, but does most of his damage inside using his body.

Emanuel Miller #2, (6) TCU +20000

Forward
Senior
6’7″, 217 lbs
Scarborough, Ontario
12.4 PTS, 1.8 AST, 6.6 REB, 0.9 STL, 0.9 BLK, 1.8 TO, on 51.6% FG, 40.8% 3PT, and 65% FT in 29.6 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

Emanuel is often considered a reliable third option in the TCU rotation. The Horned Frogs have 3 players with scoring averages in double figures, Mike Miles Jr., who averages 17.3, Damion Baugh who averages 12.6, and the Scarborough native, who’s the only Horned Frog in double-figures with a shooting percentage above 50%.

Miller uses his length and quickness to collect rebounds, a stat he is currently leading his team in with 6.6 per game, and sees extended minutes from hard defence.

Charles Bediako #14, (1) Alabama +500

Center
Sophomore
7’0″, 225 lbs
Brampton, Ontario
6.1 PTS, 0.7 AST, 5.8 REB, 0.6 STL, 1.8 BLK, 0.8 TO, on 65.5% FG and 36.5% FT in 20.6 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

Bediako plays the starting center role for the Crimson Tide, who have put themselves in the favourites discussion with Houston heading into the tournament, though they have been widely considered the 2nd favourites.

Alabama have the luxury of many options to fill the big positions, therefor Charles doesn’t have to play considerable minutes. Bama’s primary option, Brandon Miller is a beast of a power forward and takes on a vast majority of the scoring and rebounding loads, leaving Bediako and the remaining bigs to do the mop-up work.

Ryan Young #15, (5) Duke +3300

Center
Senior
6’10”, 240 lbs
Montreal, Quebec
6.6 PTS, 1.4 AST, 5.8 REB, 0.3 STL, 0.5 BLK, 1.2 TO, on 68% FG, and 81.3% FT in 18.4 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

Ryan often shares the 6-man role with fellow bench center Dereck Lively II. While he hasn’t played quite as many minutes as the ladder, he has provided more consistency on the stats sheet, and is a key ingredient to 3rd place standing in the ACC.

TJ Hurley #3, (15) Vermont +40000

Guard
Freshman
6’5″, 190 lbs
Pelham, Ontario
5.3 PTS, 0.5 AST, 1.7 REB, 0.2 STL, 0.0 BLK, 0.5 To, on 40% FG, 41.2% 3PT, and 95% FT in 16.4 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

A bench guard in a highly guard-heavy Catamounts rotation, TJ Hurley has struggled to find consistent minutes in Vermont. With that being said, he’s sure to see the court to relieve Sullivan, Penn, Deloney and Duncan and potentially while they push a 4-guard lineup at times, as they have been known to do.

Patrick Emilien #15, (8) Maryland +6000

Forward
Senior
6’7″, 210 lbs
Toronto, Ontario
2.8 PTS, 0.3 AST, 2.9 REB, 0.4 STL, 0.7 BLK, 0.5 TO, on 53.1% FG, 33.3% 3PT, and 73.8% FT in 17.8 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

Emilien is a bouncy small or power forward. Primarily monitor him on the defensive side of the ball, he uses his athleticism to cause problems for his matchup and switch fluidly to multiple positions.

While he is considered mostly a bench swing-man for Maryland, look for him to make an impact defensively and spark runs for his team.

Xaivian Lee #4, (15) Princeton +40000

Guard
Freshman
6’3″, 180 lbs
Toronto, Ontario
5.2 PTS, 1.0 AST, 1.9 REB, 0.6 STL, 0.1 BLK, 0.9 TO, on 37.9% FG, 23.6% 3PT, and 81.5% FT in 14.4 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

Xaivian Lee is Princeton’s backup point guard heading into March Madness. He has performed decently in that role thus far considering his freshman status, though he’s struggled with his efficiency shooting. It will be interesting to see how he matches up against the defensive talent of the tournament, with likely even less room than he’s been recently becoming accustomed to.

Princeton’s starting backcourt of Matt Allocco and Ryan Langborg soak up 32.5 and 30.9 minutes respectively, while backup shooting guard Deven Austin’s supports with 15.2 minutes, Xaivian is left with just a little bit of wiggle room to state his case.

Sam Thomson #30, (15) Colgate +60000

Forward
Junior
6’9″, 230 lbs
Kitchener, Ontario
4.3 PTS, 0.4 AST, 2.7 REB, 0.2 STL, 0.2 BLK, 0.4 TO, on 49.1% FG, 20% 3PT, and 63.2% FT in 15.6 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

Thomson has played a very key role for Colgate defensively this season, seeing valuable minutes at times while not seeing double digits in the score column this season. A reliable backup forward in a 3-guard style offence, there’s potential for him to see large minutes to overcompensate for matchup problems.

Despite his 15.6 minutes per game average, the Raiders have relied on him for a combined 48 minutes in his last two contests, both victories, 73-69 over Lafayette, and Navy 64-60.

Sam Alamutu #2, (15) Vermont +40000

Guard
Freshman
6’5″, 215 lbs
Ajax, Ontario
2.4 PTS, 0.5 AST, 2.2 REB, 0.5 STL, 0.1 BLK, 1.0 TO, on 64.9% FG, 50% 3PT, 38.5% FT in 10 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

Alamutu only gets 10 minutes a game but he uses those 10 to drain his matchup. He is no slouch on the defensive side, and has shown incredible shot discipline from everywhere on the court.

A clear problem for Sam has been his Shaq-like free throw shooting, something he needs to improve to get minutes as a guard under John Becker.

Sebastien Lamaute #12, (16) Fairleigh Dickinson +100000

Guard
Junior
6’1″, 198 lbs
St. Bruno, Quebec
3.7 PTS, 1.0 AST, 3.2 REB, 0.6 STL, 0.1 BLK, 0.9 TO, on 36.2% FG, 30.4% 3PT, and 71.4% FT in 16.1 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

Lamaute plays in the second unit at Fairleigh Dickinson, and while he hasn’t scored the ball frequently throughout his stay, he has cemented himself in the lineup as a trustworthy minute-eater.

Sebastien doesn’t shoot the ball well, or often, but his defensive prowess and knack for collected boards has consistently granted him time in the rotation for the Knights.

Okay Djamgouz #10, (12) Drake +30000

Guard
Junior
6’5″, 190 lbs
Toronto, Ontario
3.1 PTS, 0.2 AST, 0.2 REB, 0.1 STL, 0.0 BLK, 0.2 TO, on 47.4% FG, 52% 3PT, and 83.3% FT in 7.6 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

Djamgouz, Okay. Scores the ball pretty efficiently despite only getting bench minutes. He’s the 7th or 8th guard in the depth chart for Drake, so it is unlikely he’ll see the floor.

Luke Hunger #33, (7) Northwestern +15000

Forward
Freshman
6’10”, 255 lbs
Montreal, Quebec
2.7 PTS, 0.2 AST, 1.3 REB, 0.0 STL, 0.0 BLK, 0.2 TO, on 42.9%, 50% 3PT, and 60% FT in 6.5 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

Hunger hasn’t seen many minutes in his freshman campaign with the Wildcats. In just 6 games, Luke has played 39 minutes total. He has made the most of his time on the floor though, scoring 16 points and collecting 9 rebounds this season.

It will be interesting to see if Luke gets the nod with the season on the line.

Ose Okojie #11, (16) Howard +100000

Guard
Freshman
6’5″, 191 lbs
Brampton, Ontario
1.6 PTS, 0.4 AST, 1.1 REB, 0.4 STL, 0.0 BLK, 0.6 TO, on 51.5% FG, 62.5% FT in 9.4 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

Ose, despite only getting around 9 minutes a game, has played a fair bit this season as a freshman for the Bison. He’s played in 27 games, meaning the likelihood of him getting some playing time during the tournament is decently high.

Okojie has played as many as 20 minutes on 3 separate occasions, never topping 6 points.

Javonte Brown #31, (7) Texas A&M +5000

Forward
Sophomore
7’0″, 255 lbs
Toronto, Ontario
1.7 PTS, 0.1 AST, 1.6 REB, 0.0 STL, 0.4 BLK, 0.1 TO, on 54.5% FG in 3.1 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

In Javonte’s best outing of the season he scored 4 points on 2/2 shooting, in 3 minutes and added 2 rebounds. Despite that, he’s only played 7 games for a total of 22 minutes this year and likely won’t see much of the court unless some type of blowout ensues.

Jasman Sangha #1, (16) Texas A&M Corpus Christi +50000

Forward
Junior
6’8′, 225 lbs
Brampton, Ontario
2.6 PTS, 0.4 AST, 1.7 REB, 0.2 STL, 0.2 BLK, 0.7 TO, on 40% FG, and 61.5% FT in 10.4 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

Sangha hasn’t had a lick of court time since January 21st in a 90-78 loss to Houston Christian, where he played 10 minutes and scored 2 points to go along with a rebound.

Considering he hasn’t seen the floor in almost 2 months, it’s safe to say he probably won’t get any action in the tournament, unfortunately.

Caelum Swanton-Rodger #35, (8) Maryland +6000

Center
Freshman
6’11”, 220 lbs
Calgary, Alberta
0.8 PTS, 0.0 AST, 0.8 REB, 0.0 STL, 0.2 BLK, 0.2 TO, on 77.8% FG, and 33.3% FT in 3.8 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

CSR played in 20 games this year for the Terrapins, and averaged under a point per game in less than 4 minutes. Don’t count on seeing him play, but don’t count it out, either.

Josiah Davis #12, (9) West Virginia +10000

Guard
Freshman
6’3″, 195 lbs
Kitchener, Ontario
0.8 PTS, 0.2 AST, 0.3 REB, 0.0 STL, 0.0 BLK, 0.3 TO, on 33.3% FG in 1.5 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

Enoch Boakye #14, (11) Arizona State +25000

Center
Sophomore
6’10”, 240 lbs
Brampton, Ontario
0.7 PTS, 0.1 AST, 0.7 REB, 0.1 STL, 0.2 BLK, 0.2 TO, on 50% FG, and 33.3% FT in 3.4 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

Pier-Olivier Racine #14, (16) Fairleigh Dickinson +100000

Forward
Junior
6’7″, 232 lbs
Gatineau, Quebec
1.1 PTS, 0.5 AST, 0.9 REB, 0.3 STL, 0.1 BLK, 0.4 TO, on 57.1% FG, and 50% FT in 3.5 MP.

March Madness Game Log:

Malcolm Bailey #22, (15) Colgate +60000

Forward
Senior
6’10”, 220 lbs
Stratford, Ontario
4.0 PTS, 3.0 AST, 9 REB, 1.0 STL, 1.0 BLK, 0.0 TO, on 66.7% FG in 10 MP. (1 game)
