Will March Madness produce another Saint Peter's this year? Here are five teams capable of making a Cinderella run in the 2023 NCAA Tournament.
The 31-3 Cougars enter the NCAA Tournament having won 10 straight games, including the CAA championship. That winning streak could continue beyond mid-March if their shots are falling.
Leading scorer Max Abmas remains from that squad, averaging 22.2 points per game this season. He's shooting 37.7 on 9.4 three-pointers per game for a team that is third in the nation with 10.8 makes from deep per game. If able to do so, it will likely be thanks to Iona's ability to defend both the perimeter and the rim. The Gaels, winners of 14 straight, hold opponents to 29.3 percent shooting from three, which is eighth-best in the nation, and average the third-most blocks at 5.6 per game.The 28-6 Golden Flashes will not be an easy out. Just ask top-10 teams like Gonzaga and Houston.
