We’re one week away from the first full day of the 2022 men’s NCAA tournament, and the hype is building. But before we get to brackets, upsets and seedings, we’re setting the stage with the names you need to know for the next month.

This year’s ranking was determined by SI’s Jeremy Woo and Kevin Sweeney, and took into account everything from statistics, year-to-year growth, importance to team and overall performance.
First, we’ll highlight five players that just missed the cut for our top 50. Then, the list will count down from No. 50 all the way to No. 1.
