NCAA Tournament 2021: Mid-major stars set to incite madness--Heat Check CBB

Torrey Patton, Cleveland State

Head coach Dennis Gates led a remarkable turnaround this season at the helm of Cleveland State. This breakout year from the program wouldn’t have been possible without star Torrey Patton. The 6-foot-5 guard averaged 14.9 points, 8 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game during the regular season as the driving force of the Vikings’ success. He was named to the All-Horizon League team and was the MVP of the conference tournament.

Patton has been especially great as of late. Cleveland State is 7-2 over its last nine games while Patton has been posting 20.1 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per contest. His hot streak has propelled the team to new heights and he makes them dangerous as a No. 15 seed. The Vikings draw No. 2 seed Houston in the opening round and Patton will have his hands full with the Cougars’ excellent defense. If there is any shot at an upset, the senior will need to be at his best.
