March Madness has had a distinctive Canadian flavour this year, with a record 24 Canucks participating on 16 of the 64 teams that played in the second and third rounds.

Of the 16 remaining schools left in the tournament, five teams have at least one Canadian in their respective starting lineups.

Here’s a complete rundown of each Canadian’s performance in the tournament’s first weekend, broken up by region:

South Region

Andrew Wiggins, No. 2 Kansas

After an impressive performance in the Jayhawks’ second-round match with No. 15 Eastern Kentucky where he scored 19 points on 7-of-13 shooting, the Vaughan, Ont., native and projected first overall pick in this year’s NBA draft had his worst performance of his college career at the worst possible moment. Wiggins scored a measly four points in 34 minutes, and his struggles were a significant reason why Kansas fell to Stanford on Sunday.

Tyler Ennis, No. 3 Syracuse

The Brampton, Ont., product by most measures had a good tournament, going for 16 points and six assists in the Orange’s second-round win over No. 14 Western Michigan and 19 points in the defeat to Dayton. During that game on Saturday Ennis logged the full 40 minutes and was the key piece in spurring Syracuse’s comeback attempt, doing all of his scoring in the second half. Alas, none of that will likely be remembered as he missed two potentially game-winning jumpers at the end of the game.

Dyshawn Pierre, No. 11 Dayton

A major part of what has become the tournament’s best story, the Whitby, Ont., product scored 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds against No. 6 Ohio State and was the Flyers’ high scorer against Syracuse with 14 points.

Dwight Powell, No. 10 Stanford

Powell didn’t start the tournament the way he wanted, fouling out of the Cardinal’s win over No. 7 New Mexico State after finishing with just three points on 0-of-8 shooting, but he made up for it in the next round against Kansas. The senior from Toronto scored 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds in the big upset victory on Sunday.

Stefan Nastic, No. 10 Stanford

The second part of the Cardinal Canadian frontcourt combination, Nastic has been the more consistent performer of the duo in the tournament, scoring 10 points in each contest. Even more impressive, the Thornhill, Ont., native has been deadly efficient getting his points, shooting 9 for 11 combined in the two rounds Stanford has played.

East Region

Melvin Ejim, No. 3 Iowa State

The Big 12 player of the year has lived up to his billing so far in the tournament, dropping 17 points on 8-for-10 shooting against No. 14 North Carolina Central and 19 in the Cyclones’ thrilling affair with No. 6 North Carolina. Already the centerpiece of Iowa State’s offensive assault, the Toronto product will likely be relied upon even more as the absence of the Cyclones’ third-leading scorer, Georges Niang, appeared to be an even greater loss than first expected in Sunday’s contest with the Tar Heels.

Naz Long, No. 3 Iowa State

A three-point specialist, the sophomore from Mississauga, Ont., had a breakout performance against UNC when he scored 12 points on shots only from behind the arc. Most notably, however, was his second-half showing where he nailed three of those triples including one with 50 seconds left to play that tied the game.

Laurent Rivard, No.12 Harvard

Rivard’s 3-point shooting was instrumental in the Crimson’s upset over No. 5 Cincinnati. The product of Longueil, Que., splashed three triples for Harvard on his way to 11 points. Unfortunately, No. 4 Michigan State keyed in on him more than the Bearcats did, allowing Rivard to score just seven points with two 3-pointers made in the Harvard defeat.

Agunwa Okolie, No.12 Harvard

The sophomore guard from Ajax, Ont., played just four minutes in the tournament, collecting two rebounds in the limited opportunity he was given.

Dylan Ennis, No. 2 Villanova

The older brother of Tyler Ennis, Dylan didn’t get nearly as much burn as the Syracuse star, playing a total of 20 minutes in the tournament. In that span, he amassed two points on 1-for-7 shooting to go along with two rebounds, two blocks and an assist.

West Region

Brady Heslip No. 6 Baylor

Burlington, Ont.’s Heslip is known for his outside touch but if the first time you saw him play was against No. 11 Nebraska last Friday you probably wouldn’t be able to tell, as he went a dismal 0 for 6 from distance and 1 for 7 from the field overall. However, the senior guard racked up 12 points in the win because he went 10 for 10 from the free-throw line.

Perhaps disgusted with his own shooting struggles, Heslip then proceeded to return to form in a big way during the Bears’ obliteration of No. 3 Creighton on Sunday. The nephew of Canada’s senior men’s basketball coach, Jay Triano, scored a game-high 17 points and his 5-of-7 shooting from deep brought back memories of the 2012 tournament when he hit nine triples against Colorado in the third round.

Kenny Chery, No. 6 Baylor

After spending the first two years of his collegiate career in junior college due to some academic problems involving his Canadian high school credits not transferring over to the U.S., the Montreal native finally got his chance to play Division I basketball and he’s made the most of it, emerging as one of Baylor’s most important players.

During the tournament the 5-foot-11 guard struggled against Nebraska, only scoring eight points, but he looked like his usual self while playing Creighton, shooting 4 for 5 from distance for 14 points, while grabbing four rebounds and dishing out three assists.

Kevin Pangos, No. 8 Gonzaga

Pangos’ s 26-point performance against No. 9 Oklahoma State was the most impressive single-game performance by a Canadian in the tournament. Known more for his outside stroke, the Newmarket, Ont., native terrorized the Cowboys with crafty and hard drives to the basket where he was rewarded with 14 free-throw attempts, missing only two of them. Despite nailing four triples in the next game, No. 1 Arizona stifled him by forcing turnovers all over the floor, giving him very few chances to bring the Bulldogs back.

Daniel Mullings, No. 13 New Mexico State

The WAC player of the year, Mullings had a solid game in his Aggies’ overtime loss to No. 4 San Diego State, scoring a team-high 18 points on 6-for-13 shooting and a 6-for-7 showing from the charity stripe, while racking up five rebounds, four assists and a steal. However, the Scarborough, Ont., native did struggle to take care of the ball, committing seven turnovers.

Sim Bhullar, No. 13 New Mexico State

A 7-foot-5, 355-pound giant from North York, Ont., Bhullar finished with 14 points, seven rebounds and two blocks before unfortunately fouling out with 3:21 left in overtime.

Renaldo Dixon, No. 13 New Mexico State

Toronto’s Dixon played a very effective 18 minutes against the Aztecs, going 4 for 5 from the field that included a 3-pointer for 10 points, while also pulling down seven rebounds. Unfortunately for New Mexico State, Dixon also couldn’t stay out of foul trouble and was forced to exit the game with just 17 seconds left in overtime.

Jahenns Manigat, No. 3 Creighton

Senior guard Manigat from Ottawa scored six points to go along with two rebounds and three assists during the Bluejays’ second-round win over No. 14 Louisiana-Lafayette. Against Baylor, like the rest of his team, he struggled, shooting 1 for 6 from the field on shots only from long range.

Jason Calliste, No. 7 Oregon

The senior from Scarborough, Ont., performed the sixth-man role the Ducks asked of him admirably, scoring 14 points, which included an 11-for-12 showing from the free-throw line, against No. 10 BYU, followed by a 20-point outburst where he was a perfect 11 for 11 from the charity stripe in Oregon’s third-round loss to No. 2 Wisconsin.

Richard Amardi, No. 7 Oregon

Playing 23 minutes against BYU, Toronto’s Amardi had five points and eight rebounds in the 87-68 Ducks win. In his team’s defeat to Wisconsin, however, the senior forward only grabbed one rebound to go along with a couple of free throws in seven minutes of playing time.

Midwest Region

Nik Stauskas, No. 2 Michigan

While not overly spectacular, Mississauga, Ont., native and Big 10 player of the year Stauskas has been rock solid in the two tournament games the Wolverines have played so far. Stauskas scored 15 points on 5-for-9 shooting, including 3 for 6 from deep, against No. 15 Wofford and followed that up with a 17-point, eight-assist performance against No. 7 Texas, despite having an off shooting day – he shot just 4 for 12 from the field .

Jordan Bachynski, No. 10 Arizona State

Despite losing in a heartbreaker, the Pac-12 defensive player of the year had an outstanding game to end his collegiate career. The 7-foot-2 senior from Calgary finished his match against Texas with 25 points, seven rebounds and one block. It’s unfortunate how things ended for Bachynski and the Sun Devils but there really wasn’t a whole lot more he could’ve done to help his team win.

Nick Wiggins, No.1 Wichita State

Similar to Dylan and Tyler Ennis, Nick is the older, but decidedly much less famous brother of Andrew Wiggins. The senior guard capped off his college career with a couple of five-point performances against No. 16 Cal Poly and No. 8 Kentucky.

Chadrick Lufile, No.1 Wichita State

Burlington, Ont., senior forward Lufile had eight points and five rebounds against Cal Poly and chipped in six points in the Shockers’ loss to Kentucky.

Grandy Glaze, No. 5 St. Louis

The junior guard from Toronto only played eight minutes total in the tournament, with seven of those minutes coming against No. 12 North Carolina State. In that game, Glaze scored two points in addition to one assist and one steal.
