The tournament is in full swing and little can be debated about it's awesomeness, it's just as exciting as always. With quality quotes from every analyst from Charles Barkley to Jimmy V the action is nonstop and the teams are performing... except for Louisville who decided not to show up to the first round. Ohio State looks dominant, Duke got Kyrie Irving back and Barkley dubbed the term the "Big Least" referring to the wackness that is the Big East conference. With Villanova getting bounced among almost all the other teams they put up that isn't even a good topic for debate. However, Jimmer is.
He continues to perform. He performed all year and now is showing his talents on the big stage in a big way. Teams set up with him in mind on the defensive end and still there is little to keep him from putting up the numbers characteristic of his season. When BYU aquares off on Florida come Thursday there will be two factors; Florida's bigs and Jimmer's big play. He is not just real, he is the deal. When Florida inevitably dominates BYU inside the only real option is for Jimmer to take this game on his shoulders as he has done all year and lead BYU into the final four. If he scores less that 30 they are looking at defeat, but can Florida shut him down? No one has so the outlook is not good.
Besides this match up of BYU and Florida the other big story is Chuck's Wildcats are going to catch a beat down at the hands of my Duke Blue Devil's. Kyrie Irving is playing like he never skipped a game and most of his production against Michigan came from the line or as a distraction for the rest of the team.
