2023 Tournament PreviewMuch to the relief of the Tournament's bubble teams, Charleston earned the automatic bid out of the Colonial Athletic Association. One of the nation's better mid-majors, the Cougars reached 18th in the AP poll in January and won a pair of Quad 2 games. Charleston is deep. Nine players average at least 15 minutes per game, and the team ranks 21st nationally in KenPom's bench minutes (reminiscent of last year's Cinderella, St. Peter's, perhaps?). That depth helps the Cougars rank 29th nationally in tempo (per KenPom). Five players average double figures, led by senior wing Dalton Bolon (12.3 ppg) and 6-10 sophomore center Ante Brzovic (11.6 ppg, 5.9 rpg), but senior point guard Ryan Larson (10.6 ppg) was the hero of the CAA championship with a season-high 23 points. A 6-7 sophomore, Ben Burnham (9.0 ppg) shoots 44.6 percent from 3-point range. Meanwhile, the Cougars defend the three well (19th in perimeter defense). Charleston has enough depth and experience to win a game, maybe two.
