Tennessee is elite.

Jaylen Carey was a crucial part of Tennessee’s win to get to the Elite Eight.

Carey’s 87.90 game grade against Iowa State was his highest-graded performance of the season.

Tennessee is 15–3 this year when at least two players record a game grade of 83+ in the same game.

[32 Analytics @32_Analytics]

UConn is elite.

Alex Karaban made big-time plays to hold off Michigan State and send UConn to the Elite Eight.

Karaban has recorded a grade of 84+ in 15 games this season, and UConn is 14–1 in those games.

[32 Analytics @32_Analytics]

Michigan is elite.

Yaxel Lendeborg was incredible in Michigan’s win over Alabama to get to the Elite Eight.

His 90.81 game grade is the ninth individual performance of the tournament to record a 90+ grade. Teams are 8–1 in those games when a player records a 90+ game grade.

[32 Analytics @32_Analytics]

Duke is elite.

Isaiah Evans recorded an 87.18 game grade in the win that sent Duke to the Elite Eight.

Duke is 11–0 this season when Evans records a game grade of 85+.

[32 Analytics @32_Analytics]

Arizona is elite.

The Wildcats’ offensive firepower fueled a 109-point performance and punched their ticket to the Elite Eight.

Brayden Burries has taken his play to another level over the last 10 games.

Grade in first 27 games: 86.39
Grade in last 10 games: 91.80

[32 Analytics @32_Analytics]

Illinois is elite.

A total team effort pushed Illinois past Houston and into the Elite Eight.

Illinois’ defense has consistently stifled opposing players—they are one of just three teams that have not allowed a game grade of 83+ in any tournament game so far.

Those teams:
▫️ Illinois (3 GP)
▫️ Alabama (2 GP)
▫️ St. John’s (2 GP)

[32 Analytics @32_Analytics]

Iowa is elite.

Tate Sage delivered his best performance of the season, posting a season-high game grade and powering Iowa into the Elite Eight.

Coming into the tournament, Iowa was 14–3 in games when Bennett Stirtz led the team in game grade, but just 7–9 when he didn’t. That trend has flipped in March—through three tournament games, the Hawkeyes are 3–0 when someone other than Stirtz has been their top-graded player.

[32 Analytics @32_Analytics]

Purdue is elite.

Trey Kaufman-Renn’s performance and game-winner secured Purdue a spot in the Elite Eight.

Purdue is 26–2 this season in games where one of their players records an 85+ game grade.

They are 4–6 when no one does.

[32 Analytics @32_Analytics]

Players entering the NCAA Tournament with a 90+ season grade went 10-2 in the First Round this year.

They are now 31-5 in the First Round since 2023.

[32 Analytics @32_Analytics]

Elite players matter in March.

Over the past three NCAA Tournaments, teams are 21–3 in the First Round when they have a player with a 90+ season grade.

@SoonerScript Here is a past post that shows what factors into game grades. 90+ game grades are rare to record. Only 0.26% of all performances so far this season have received a game grade of 90+.

[32 Analytics @32_Analytics]

Here is a quick breakdown on what goes into our new Game Grades statistic and how they factor into Season Grades.
