Players to watch in the tournament

Every year March Madness turns into a personal playground for a group of players as they lead their teams on deep runs in the NCAA Tournament. Some of these guys are already on your must watch list while others are about to go from anonymity to all star status. Whatever the case, these players are definitely going to have an impact on what happens over the next three weeks.

*Tony Douglas/G Florida St.: you might not have heard of him yet, but everybody will see the headache he's been for the coaches in the ACC by the time this tournament is over

*Johnny Flynn/G Syracuse: fearless leader of a sneaky Syracuse team that won MOP of the Big East Tournament

*Earl Clark/F Louisville: no player in the tournament can cause the mismatch problems that this versatile 6-9 player does

*Tyler Smith/F Tennessee: the catalyst for the Vols is the smaller version (6-7) of Clark with just a little less range from deep

*Eric Maynor/G VCU: Greg Paulus and Duke fans are still probably having nightmares of him after he engineered a first round upset of the Blue Devils two years ago

DeMarre Carroll/F Missouri: do it all player just seems to be everywhere on the court at the same time

Eric Devendorf/G Syracuse: one of my personal favorites. deadly from 3 pt range and has the nasty attitude that makes you hate him if he's not on your team

Willie Warren/G Oklahoma: everybody knows about Blake Griffin, but wait until you get a load of this brash freshman who once went after Kobe (yes, that Kobe!) at a summer camp
