<- Tyler Dorsey (Oklahoma) was the 41st (6th round) pick in the tournament draft game. Tyler finished the tournament with 119 points in 5 games played, for an average of 23.8 per game which was close to double his regular season average of 12.4. Interesting note on Dorsey was that he was highly inconsistent during Oregon's regular season. He had 0 points in a January win over Washington State and had two other games in February where he scored 1 point and 5 points. Coming alive in the tournament with 5 straight games over 20 points was simply something nobody could have predicted. Another fun fact is that Dorsey was also drafted 41st in the NBA draft in June by Atlanta. He was drafted by Team SID who received the $25 bonus payout for being the leading scorer in the draft game. South Carolina's Sindarius Thornwell, 62nd (8th round) pick finished 2nd in scoring this year with 118 points scored in 5 games, 1 point behind Dorsey. Thornwell was drafted by Dave Eccles. Finishing 3rd in scoring this tournament was the # 1 pick in the draft Justin Jackson of North Carolina who scored 117 points in 6 games just 3 points away from being the leading scorer. In the championship game, Jackson was 0-9 from 3 point territory. The all time tournament scoring record is held by Glen Rice (Michigan) who in 1989 scored 184 points over 6 games, for a 30.7 pts per game average.
