Jared McCain finishes with the eighth-most points in March Madness

McCain, who had two 30-point games during Duke’s run to the Elite Eight, scored 84 points during the NCAA Tournament, the eighth-most of any player.

Duke freshman star Jared McCain didn’t get to the Final Four in his first season as a Blue Devil, but he did finish as one of the NCAA Tournament’s most prolific scorers.

McCain scored 84 points in Duke’s four games, the eighth-most of any player in the men’s tournament.

The first-year star scored at least 30 points twice during the four-game run to the Elite Eight, including a 30-point performance against James Madison in the second round and a 32-point game against NC State.

Among the ten players who scored at least 80 points in the tournament, McCain was one of just three who didn’t reach the Final Four. His 21.0 point average per game is one of the highest in the men’s field.

No one touched Purdue star Zach Edey, who scored 37 points in a national title game loss to Connecticut. Edey finished with 177 points over the course of the tournament, 56 more than any other player.
