It’s officially March Madness, which, over the past decade or so, has seen Minnesota take center stage on multiple occasions.

Even if the Gophers themselves haven’t made any noise as of late, some memorable moments include Apple Valley native Tyus Jones coming up clutch to lead Duke to a national championship, and St. Paul native Jalen Suggs hitting a buzzer beater for Gonzaga that will be shown on highlight reels forever.

Who’s going to be the next player to make a name of themselves? Here are all the Minnesotans competing in this year’s NCAA men’s basketball tournament:

Tre Holloman, No. 2 seed Michigan State, Cretin-Derham Hall: Though he isn’t a starter for the Spartans, he has grown into a fan favorite off the bench, averaging 9.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 3.8 assists, while serving as the heartbeat of the team whenever he’s on the court.

Nolan Winter, No. 3 seed Wisconsin, Lakeville North: He burst onto the scene for the Badgers this season, averaging 9.5 points and 5.9 rebounds.

Steven Crowl, No. 3 seed Wisconsin, Eastview: As a longtime fixture in the starting lineup, he has played in more than 150 games for the Badgers throughout his career.

Jack Janicki, No. 3 seed Wisconsin, White Bear Lake: After betting on himself and walking on with the Badgers despite offers elsewhere, he has managed to carve out a niche for himself.

Jack Robinson, No. 3 seed Wisconsin, Lakeville North: He played minimally for the Badgers, only appearing in in 13 games as a reserve.

Daniel Freitag, No. 3 seed Wisconsin, Breck: He has been somewhat lost in a logjam in the backcourt and hasn’t played much for the Badgers.

Curtis Jones, No. 3 seed Iowa State, Cretin-Derham Hall: He averaged 17.1 points off the bench to lead the Cyclones in scoring and was recently inserted into the starting lineup.

Nate Heise, No. 3 seed Iowa State, Lincoln: There is a good chance he is asked to take on more for the Cyclones with Keshon Gilbert out of the lineup for the foreseeable future.
