For the Lobos to continue their success in the NCAA Tournament, they'll rely on Mountain West Player of the Year Kendall Williams. The junior guard averaged a team-high 13.5 points per game this season, and is coming off a 12-point effort in the Mountain West Championship Game against UNLV. Fellow guard Tony Snell added a game-high 21 points in the victory over the Rebels, which improved New Mexico to 29-5 on the season.
Meanwhile Harvard enters the NCAA Tournament after winning the Ivy League for the second consecutive season. Sophomore Wesley Saunders averaged a team-high 16.5 points for the Crimson, which lost their opening round NCAA Tournament game in 2012 to Vanderbilt.
