James Madison’s Terrence Edwards says his team has been dealing with pressure ever since it stunned the basketball world with a season-opening upset of then-No. 4 Michigan State.

Edwards is hoping it enables them to make a similar impact on March Madness.

“After that game, we knew we had a target on our back,” Edwards told reporters after James Madison clinched its first NCAA Tournament bid since 2013 with a 91-71 victory over Arkansas State in the Sun Belt Conference title game.

The 6-foot-6 swingman gets a chance to beat another Big Ten team Friday night when James Madison (31-3) — the No. 12 seed in the South Region — faces No. 5 seed Wisconsin (22-14) in a first-round game at Brooklyn, New York.

Here’s a look at some other players from one-bid leagues who merit attention this week.

Achor Achor, Samford

Samford has a chance to make some noise this week if Achor performs as well as he did in the Southern Conference Tournament. The 6-9 forward had 28 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks in an 84-77 semifinal victory over Furman.
