had in the Inland North- west. • Arizona. Pac-12 Tour- nament and co-regular season champions have coach Sean Miller eyeing his first Final Four. • Duke. Blue Devils had their share of struggles, but appear to be peaking at the right time. Topplayers • Frank Mason III, Kansas. Leader and go-to player for a program that won its 13th straight Big 12 title. • Josh Hart, Villanova. Does it all, already has one national title. • Lonzo Ball, UCLA. One-and-done star plays with poise and flair, led the nation in assists (7.7), could be the No. 1 overall NBA pick. • Caleb Swanigan, Pur- due. Double-double ma- chine is doing things that haven't been done in the Big Ten for decades. • Nigel Williams-Goss, Gonzaga. Steady, clutch, engine that makes the Zags go. • Monte Morris, Iowa State. Led the nation with a 6-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio — and no else was even close. Must-watch games • Northwestern vs. Vanderbilt, West Region, Thursday in Salt Lake City. The Wildcats waited 78 years to play in the NCAA Tournament and the Com- modores want to spoil it. • UNC-Wilmington vs. Virginia, East Region, Fri- day in Buffalo. The Se- ahawks were 10th nation- ally with 85.2 points per game. The Cavaliers barely give that up in two games. • Michigan vs. Okla- homa State, Midwest Re- gion, Friday in Indianapo- lis. Two of the nation's best in offensive efficiency will put the ball in the basket. • Iona vs. Oregon, Mid- west Region, Friday in Sac- ramento. The cameras may need to stay on wide an- gles to keep track of these frenetic teams. • Dayton vs. Wichita State, South Region, Fri- day in Indianapolis. Two mid-majors looking to make a major run through the bracket. NCAA FROMPAGE1 On his Twitter account, Holmes said the report was premature: "I have not signed/agreed to any con- tract yet with any team. The report at this moment is false." The role of Holmes as a wide out was reduced start- ing in 2015, when Michael Crabtree arrived in free agency and Amari Cooper through the draft. Holmes, however, stuck with the team and became a valuable special teams player, particularly in kick coverage, where he was ad- ept at downing punts inside the 10-yard line. In the Raiders' 27-14 wild cardplayofflosttoHouston, Holmes was a bright spot, catching four passes for 50 yards including a touch- down. Holmes said at the end of the season he wished to re- turn, but another need on special teams likely helped push him out the door. The Raiderssignedwidereceiver CordarellePatterson,whois also an explosive kickoff re- turn specialist with five ca- reer touchdowns. Patterson joins Crabtree, Cooper, slot receiver Seth Roberts and second-year player Johnny Holton as the most prominent return- ing wide receivers. Holton was second to the departed Brynden Trawick on the Raiders in special teams tackles with 12. Holmes joins Trawick (Titans), Daren Bates (Ti- tans), DJ Hayden (Lions), Malcolm Smith (49ers), Menelik Watson (Broncos) and Stacy McGee (Wash- ington) as unrestricted free agents who have signed with new teams.
