These 8 Guys You've Never Heard Of Have Taken Over March Madness

This year's NCAA tournament may lack buzzer beaters or edge-of-your-seat excitement, but it has still featured plenty of great individual performances.

Like Stephen Curry in 2008 and Caron Butler in 2002, some key players have used the tourney to go from local college heroes to national prominence.

Although some of these guys come from marquee programs, chances are you had no clue who they were before the tournament started.

Indiana is one win away from beating Kentucky for a second time this year thanks in large part to junior guard Christian Watford

Watford hit the game-winning shot against Kentucky in December and his three-point shooting throughout the tournament has been superb.

He combined to go 7-8 against New Mexico State and VCU. Watford will have to come up big against UK if the Hoosiers have any shot at advancing.

Brady Heslip's ridiculous 3-point shooting has Baylor thinking Final Four

The sophomore guard's play from beyond the arc is the main reason why the Bears have advanced this far in the tournament.

Heslip drained five threes in the win against South Dakota State and followed it up with a 9-13 three-point shooting performance to put away Colorado in the round of 32.

Xavier wouldn't be one of only three double digit seeds left in the tournament if it weren't for senior Tu Holloway

Currently projected to be a second round NBA draft pick, Holloway is doing his best to move up the charts with back-to-back 20 point performances to open the tournament.
