3. Drew Stanton vs. 14. Scott Skiles

I was surprised at how many people nominated Drew Stanton, which is why he ended up as a three seed. Stanton was one of the lone bright spots of a tough stretch of Michigan State football. Stanton filled the stat sheet with both his arm and his legs during his time at MSU. His teams never had a winning record while Stanton was the starter, but it certainly wasn’t all his fault. And I think that’s why MSU fans really like him.

Stanton’s opponent is another under-seeded guy in Scott Skiles. Skiles was an absolute bucket–averaging 27.4 points per game his senior season. He also, averaged 5.5 assists per game over his career. The problem is he only made the NCAA Tournament twice in his career and made it out of the first round just one time, a trip to the Sweet 16 his senior year. Not Skiles’ fault, but I’m sure that’s why his time at MSU isn’t remembered as fondly as it should be.
