In another round, Bailey responded with his favorite moment as he highlighted fellow Rutgers freshman Dylan Harper’s game-winning shot against Seton Hall on Dec. 14. Harper won the tie for Rutgers with a deep 3-pointer just before the time expired. Harper ended with a game-high 24 points.

Fears was then asked about his favorite memory before he spoke about being grateful for the opportunity to play against other top athletes.

When Broome was asked about his favorite memory, he spoke about the feeling of winning the Elite Eight matchup with Auburn against Michigan on March 29.

“I think it was winning the Elite 8,” Broome said. “And celebrating going to the Final Four and having the confetti, cutting nets with teammates in Atlanta with the crowd.”

Some other players that were interviewed were Texas’ Tre Johnson, Arizona’s Carter Bryant, Maryland’s Derik Queen and Michigan State’s Jase Richardson. Throughout last season, Cooper Flagg averaged 19.2 points, Ace Bailey with 17.6, Jeremiah Fears had 17.1 and Broome with 18.6.
