Indiana State Sycamores center Robbie Avila (21) goes in for a lay-up Thursday, April 4, 2024, during the NIT championship game at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The Seton Hall Pirates defeated the Indiana State Sycamores, 79-77.
While Avila might not look the part of an elite athlete, he certainly is one. While rocking sports goggles, Avila will give your favorite team 20 and 10 on any given night. This season the St. Louis center is averaging 18.3 points with 6.6 rebounds.
Avila is a dominant presence on the inside but has a great jumper as well. He even is a threat to score from three, shooting 37% from deep this season. While he is from a small school, fans everywhere should learn his name, as he is one of the most entertaining players in CBB.

Kalkbrenner is a senior who was dominant for Creighton last season and has continued his success this year. The 7'1 baller from Missouri is averaging 17.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.9 blocks a game.
As a center who is terrific on both sides of the court, he is a nightmare for opposing teams and is easily one of the best players in the nation.

Since coming back from an ankle injury, Johni Broome has been unstoppable. Broome stands at 6'10 and is averaging 17.9 points 10.3 rebounds and 2.7 blocks a game.
If Broome can stay healthy, he will be one of the key contributors to a potential Auburn Championship run.
