Kentucky will probably miss the NCAA tournament for only the third time in the last 20 years. It's a surprising feat, considering the Wildcats had the No. 1 recruiting class entering the season, led by B.J. Boston. Duke hasn’t had the season fans expected and are flirting with possibly missing the tournament for the first time since 1995. An early exit from standout freshman Jalen Johnson has plagued a young and inexperienced Duke team.
Fans will get a chance to see potential No. 1 picks Cade Cunningham and Evan Mobley make tournament appearances, but there are a handful of players, including a couple players on the G League Ignite team, who we won’t see play in March Madness but will hear their name called early in the 2021 NBA draft.
