Every year in the NCAA tournament it seems like there is one player that comes out of nowhere and becomes a hero not only for his team, but for everyone who likes to root on the little guys who lived out their dreams and more on the game's biggest stage.
In last year's tournament, that honor fell on NC State's DJ Burns. The 6' 9'' forward was a big reason why the Wolfpack were able to get into the big dance by winning the ACC tournament and then he strung together some clutch performances while leading the No. 11 seed all the way to the Final Four, where they fell to Purdue in the national semifinals.
