Custer, much like his team, went from mid-major darling to national story this March during the Ramblers’ run to the Final Four. But while Custer may have been excellent in the tournament, including his game-winner over Tennessee, he was a star long before that. During Missouri Valley play, he led the league in effective field goal percentage (67.4), true shooting percentage (68.7), and three-point percentage (50), while also ranking in the top five in assist and steal rate. The Ramblers lost just three times all season in games that Custer played, including their Final Four defeat against Michigan. He was, simply, one of the best point guards in college basketball.

RAMBLERS WIN!!! 🚨🚨🚨
