Breitbart Sports Exclusive: Top 50 Elite 8 Players

In the debut of Breitbart Sports we gave you the top 1500 players in the nation, and at the time Mason Plumlee was No. 1. However, Trey Burke quickly emerged and left the field behind him, and on Friday he became the first player in over 25 years to put up 20 points and 10 assists to advance a team to the Elite 8. Russ Smith of Louisville is the second best player still in the Elite 8 according to the Value Add formulas, and here is the rest of the Top 50 players still playing for a national title.
