8 teams remain in the 2016 NCAA Tournament, and the percentage of EYBL alumni still dancing keeps getting larger.

45 NIKE EYBL products will touch the floor in Saturday and Sunday's quarterfinal action, accounting for 52% of the total scoring between the 8 teams.

The Syracuse Orange feature the most EYBL alumni on their roster, as everyone in Jim Boeheim's rotation ran on the EYBL circuit except for Tyler Roberson.

The Albany City Rocks lead EYBL programs with 7 alumni left in the field, followed by Team Takeover (5) and Team Final (4).

Five of the eight leading scorers are EYBL alumni, coming from four different EYBL graduating classes.

Syracuse's Michael Gbinije, a 5th-year senior, was Team Takeover's Most Valuable Player of the inaugural NIKE EYBL Finals at Peach Jam. Also playing in 2010 were Gbinije's teammate Trevor Cooney (Team Final), Virginia star Malcolm Brogdon (GA Stars), Kansas forwards Jamari Traylor (MeanStreets) and Hunter Mickelson (Wings Elite), Oregon guard Dylan Ennis (CIA Bounce) and Oklahoma big man Ryan Spangler (Athletes First).
