Illinois freshman guard Keaton Wagler leads trader consensus for NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player after earning South Region honors, capping a breakout Elite Eight performance with 25 points, three assists and efficient shooting to propel the Illini past Iowa for their first Final Four berth since 2005. Averaging 17.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists across four tournament games, the unheralded recruit—once ranked No. 261—has surged via sharp three-point shooting (40.7%) and playmaking, differentiating him in a wide-open field as semis loom. Duke's Cameron Boozer showed promise before UConn's Elite Eight upset ended his run, while low-probability challengers like Michigan State's Jeremy Fears Jr. and others await Final Four tests amid bracket uncertainty.
