Tournament MVP: Hand
All-Tourney: Strong
Two all-tourney picks:
I thought White and Buchanan played the best in this tourney and the SD State sounds pretty solid, too, (they beat Missouri State in the consolation/third place game), but to the winner go the spoils. Hand was the best player on the championship team, and Strong's 8 point overtime performance in the semi's gave him the nod for the obligatory second player.
