Carsen Edwards was the darling of the NCAA tournament. Carsen Edwards took advantage of his time on college’s biggest stage and put on a show. Like small scoring guards in prior years like Trey Burke and Kemba Walker, Carsen Edwards lit up some of college’s best teams as he averaged 34.8 points a game on 7.0 threes per game. He shattered the prior record held by some nobody named Steph Curry. His 34.8 points a game was ninth most in tournament history. The last player to average 30+ points a game was Jimmer Fredette in 2011.
