4. Yanick Moreira (SMU)
Since Jan. 3 SMU has lost just one game. The Mustangs are playing a top-40 offense and defense right now, and they're the top program in the American Athletic Conference. Their surge is tied to multiple factors -- including Markus Kennedy's return from an academic suspension -- but Moreira's connection to the rise shouldn't be undervalued. The Mustangs are holding opponents to a 43.1 percent mark inside the arc (30th nationally, per Ken Pomeroy). The team is also 22nd overall in offensive rebounding rate. Moreira (11.7 PPG, 6.9 RPG, 1.2 BPG) is a factor in both.
