March Madness reaches its crescendo with the Final Four in San Antonio, TX. None of the National Quarterfinal match ups was more of a back and forth brawl than elite programs Kansas and Duke squaring off on Sunday. And it went to overtime. And that's when our Sportsman of the Week took over. Kansas' Malik Newman scored 13 points in overtime. That was all of Kansas points, and enough to win the game by 4 (would have been 7 if not for a meaningless 3 by Duke). Newman finished the game with 32 points, including 5-12 from beyond the arc and 11-12 from the free throw line. In the Sweet 16 match up against pesky Clemson, he also led his team in scoring with 17 points including 4-7 from 3-pointers. He had 7 rebounds in each game as well. Newman also played 83 out of 85 minutes over the weekend. He willed Kansas to the Final Four, can our Sportsman of the Week will them to a championship?
