As the 2019 NCAA Tournament continues to move forward, we give you five players that could make it or break it for their team’s chances at a Final Four.

The Tennessee basketball team is back in the Sweet 16 for the first time since the 2014 season. But, just saying Sweet 16 is tough to think about because win or lose, the college basketball season is almost over.

Did you fill out a bracket?

It’s been mostly chalk, although the South Region displayed a few upsets thanks to Oregon, UC Irvine, and Iowa. Will there be more? Vol fans surely hope not.

While picking a No.3 seed over a No.2 seed is most certainly not an “upset,” it is when it comes to the seeds.

If a couple of players we highlight later in this post have anything to say for it, look out Virginia and Tennessee.

Just as we did for the first weekend, this post gives you five guys to pay attention to during the games on Thursday and Saturday. If Tennessee wants to reach the first Final Four in program history, they have to keep these five players in check.

We begin with one of the hottest teams in the country, the Oregon Ducks. They have a couple of players that are having outstanding postseason performances, and Louis King is one of them.
