2024 men's Final Four: Leading scorer stats for each team

Four teams remain in the men's NCAA tournament: No. 1-seeded Purdue, No. 1-seeded UConn, No. 4-seeded Alabama and No. 11-seeded NC State.

Who are some players to keep an eye on this Saturday when the Final Four tips off at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona? Let's break down each team's offensive focal point and how they have fared during March Madness thus far.

PURDUE BOILERMAKERS: ZACH EDEY

Edey is a 7-foot-4 matchup nightmare, averaging 25 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 2 assists per game this season while shooting 62.4% from the field, 50% from three-point range and 71% from the free throw line. The reigning national player of the year has elevated his game during March Madness, posting 30 points, 16.3 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.8 assists on 65.6% shooting from the field through four tournament games.

UCONN HUSKIES: TRISTEN NEWTON

The Huskies have a balanced offensive attack, with five players who average double-digit points. However, the focal point of their offense is Tristen Newton, as he is the team's leading scorer (15 points per game) and facilitator (6.1 assists per game). The 6-foot-5 senior guard can fill the stat sheet, creating scoring opportunities for himself and others.

ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE: MARK SEARS

Sears averages 21.5 points, 4.1 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 2.6 3-pointers and 1.7 steals while shooting 50.4% from the field, 43.4% from 3-point range and 85.9% from the free throw line. Through four NCAA tournament games, Sears has averaged 24.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 3s, 3.8 assists and 1.8 steals while shooting 50.8% from the field, 44.7% from 3 and 84.2% from the charity stripe.

NC STATE: DJ HORNE AND DJ BURNS JR.

Horne is the Wolfpack's leading scorer on the season, averaging 16.8 points while knocking down 40.9% of his 3-point attempts. However, DJ Burns Jr. has been NC State's focal point during March Madness. Through four NCAA tournament games, Burns leads the Wolfpack with 18.3 points per game on an uber-efficient 67.4% shooting from the field. The DJs complement each other well, forming an inside-outside attack that's tough for teams to guard.
