The senior point guard from Oregon racked up a number of awards last season, including Pac-12 Player of the Year and was an AP First Team All-American. Pritchard increased his scoring average by nearly eight points his last year with the Ducks and will go down as one of the best point guards in Oregon history.

Bane is a solid point guard who shot 45% from the field and 44% from the 3-point line. He only has a 6-foot-3 wingspan but makes up for it on defense with his footwork. Bane was named to the Big 12 First Team this past season and improved on almost every stat line over the course of his four years at TCU.
