Lets take a quick look at five of the many Canadians in the NCAA Tournament this year. The game in this country just continues to improve and it will be fun to watch it all unfold starting tomorrow. Cant wait! 1. ANDREW WIGGINS (Kansas): This young man has incredible talent and upside with explosivity and skill to spare. Wiggins has terrific feel for the game and can make all the plays. His strength and stamina have been an issue on occasion, but he plays better when challenged. Wiggins has to play with a more consistent motor, but thats expected for such a young guy, whos handled all the hoopla of his frosh year quite well. Hell set the tone for how far his team goes. 2. TYLER ENNIS (Syracuse): Ennis is an intelligent and steady point guard, who makes all the high percentage decisions for you. He plays at a controlled speed and has excellent vision and feel for the game. His poise and composure under pressure is off the charts. Ennis changes speeds well and knows how to make others better with remarkable maturity and leadership ability for a frosh. Hes got to exert his will earlier in games here in the Tournament and get his team going and set the tone. Ennis is truly the straw that stirs the drink for the Cuse. 3. NIK STAUSKAS (Michigan): There are major improvements in Stauskass strength and overall savvy from last season. He can really stroke it and plays with energy and emotion consistently and is an excellent screen-usage guy and knows how to get open. The elevation on his jump shot is terrific and his handle has gotten better, allowing him to create for himself and teammates. Stauskas is coming on strong. 4. MELVIN EJIM (Iowa State): Heres an intriguing guy. Ejims a very good athlete who has good compete level and I love how hes able to finish on the break and play the game inside and out. Ejim attacks the basket hard and I love his energy. Hes gotten better every year, which is a testament to his work ethic and love for the game. Hes a beast on the glass and has really improved his three-point-shooting stroke. Ejims stock is really rising. 5. KEVIN PANGOS (Gonzaga): Pangos is a shooter with deep range and a guy who can get on a roll if you leave him open. Hes a gym rat who gets after it for you. Pangos isnt the biggest guy, yet plays as hard as you can ask and creates his shot well and has a knack for freeing himself up in the five-on-five game and you better not leave him open in transition. Pangos moves his feet and fights through screens on the defensive end and relishes the challenge of getting stops. Hes steady and reliable in every situation. In short, Pangos is a winner.

Colorado came up big against Chicago last spring, and repeated that performance Tuesday night. Varlamov stopped 36 shots and Paul Stastny had a goal and an assist for the Avalanche in a 5-1 victory over the Blackhawks.ARLINGTON, Texas -- Connecticuts 2011 national championship has been characterized as a one-man effort by Kemba Walker. Good as he was, he still needed help from teammates Jeremy Lamb, Alex Oriakhi and Shabazz Napier. Now that its Napiers turn, the same gotta-have-help method has applied -- this time with DeAndre Daniels and Ryan Boatright taking turns at the wheel. Daniels carried UConn out of an early funk, Boatright bulled around Floridas guard at both ends and the Huskies are headed back to the national championship game after a 63-53 victory over the Gators in the Final Four Saturday night. Daniels had 20 points on 9-of-14 shooting and 10 rebounds, and Boatright finished with 13 points to help finish off Floridas 30-game winning streak and send the seventh-seeded Huskies into Mondays title game against Kentucky. "Weve been saying all year that weve got a complete team," Boatright said. "Its not a one-man team. Its not a two-man team. Weve got a complete team." Napier has been UConns unquestioned leader and had a solid night after a slow start, finishing with 12 points, six assists and four steals. But stars often need an occasional lift from their sidekicks, and Daniels and Boatright both did that against Florida (36-3). Daniels, the talented-but-sometimes-inconsistent forward, helped the Huskies (31-8) dig out of an early hole by scoring inside and out. He also hit a couple of big shots down the stretch to prevent the Gators from mounting a comeback. Boatright was like a bulldog all night, consistently getting inside Floridas defence and combining with Napier to hold ailing Gators star Scottie Wilbekin (cramps) to four points and one assist. "I dont know if you all keep thinking its a one-man team, but its not," UConn coach Kevin Ollie said. "Shabazz is the first one to tell you and I keep telling everybody its not just him." During the 2011 run, Walker was the unquestioned lead Husky. But Lamb had some big scoring games during the title run, Oriakhi manhandled opposing big men in the paint and Napier, the confident-but-still-learning freshman, chipped in to earn a championship ring. This has been Napiers team from the start and hes come through as a star player should, including a game-winninng jumper to beat Florida back on Dec.dddddddddddd 2 -- the Gators last loss. In the rematch, Napier had a hard time with Floridas aggressive switching on defence, unable to find seams into the lane. UConn fell into holes of 7-0 and 16-4, and Napier didnt score until hitting a 3-pointer with 3:54 left in the first half. Daniels led the charge back. The junior has shown off flashes of his athleticism some games, disappearing in others. Its been nothing but the good Daniels in the NCAA tournament, though, including a 27-point, 10-rebound game against Iowa State in Sweet 16. Spurred by a conversation with former UConn coach Jim Calhoun before the national semifinal game, Daniels was at his active best, sailing in for a dunk during an 11-0 run and dropping in a pair of 3-pointers in the first half. Daniels continued to be a matchup problem for Florida in the second half, keeping the Gators at bay, including a long jumper that put the Huskies up 57-47 with 2 1/2 minutes left. "I talked to Coach Calhoun and he was like, Man, nobody is talking about you," Daniels said. "All I said was not to worry about it because everybody was going to be talking about me after today." Boatright, too. The junior has been interchangeable with Napier in the backcourt, playing shooting guard when Napier runs the point, leading the team when Napier shifts to the two spot or heads to the bench. He also turned into UConns point-guard stopper, hounding the opposing teams floor leader into mistakes. Boatright had a quiet first half before starting to find seams in Floridas defence. He got to the rim a few times without much hassle against the long Gators and was able to find open shooters when they did cut off his drives. Behind Boatright and Daniels, UConn scored all but two of its baskets inside the lane. Boatright also helped lead the charge against Wilbekin, adding to his cramping woes by combining with Napier to hound his every step. "It all starts with Boatright," Florida coach Billy Donovan said of UConns defence. "He does a great job of pressuring the ball." When it was over, the Huskies again were underdogs headed to the national championship -- thanks to a pair of sidekicks helping the star get there. ' ' '
