March 28 Best NCAAB Player Props

PJ Hall (Clemson) Over 16.5 Points (-115) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds

PJ Hall has only played 19 minutes in each NCAA Tournament game for the Clemson Tigers.

He's been in foul trouble each game and hasn't been able to produce the way he wants for Clemson.

What's even more stunning is that Clemson's leading scorer hasn't even played 20 minutes, yet Clemson earned back-to-back wins as underdogs to play in the Sweet 16. But just imagine how Clemson will perform with more of PJ Hall.

Hall averaged 18.5 points per game this season. When not in foul trouble, he also saw 30+ minutes a game. If Hall can adjust and stay out of foul trouble, he'll lead Clemson in the box score in points. They'll need him for another massive upset tonight. Take Hall's Over in points.

Armando Bacot (North Carolina) Over 16.5 Points (-108) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds

Armando Bacot isn't even the leading scorer for the Tar Heels. However, in Tournament games, he's bringing it.

He's scored at least 18 points in each of his last four games. Bacot is getting to the foul line at a high rate and has attempted at least ten field goals in each of his last four games.

Although Alabama played better defense against Grand Canyon, don't expect that to continue against North Carolina. Alabama's defense fouls at a high rate and doesn't defend very well. That benefits Bacot, who is always finding the foul line and getting easy buckets around the rim.

Terrence Shannon Jr. (Illinois) Over 20.5 Points (-114) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds

There's no better scorer in college basketball right now than Terrence Shannon Jr.

Obviously, Illinois is playing against one of the best defenses in the nation Iowa State. However, the Cyclones are a really good defense due to their constant production of turnovers on the defensive end.

However, Illinois is usually good at limiting turnovers. If Illinois can get half-court sets against Iowa State, it'll be fine offensively.

Shannon Jr. has scored at least 22 points in 63% of games this season. He's also nailed this line in six consecutive games, which includes the Big Ten Tournament and NCAA Tournament. He's playing his best basketball in pressure moments. Grab his Over.
