Jimmer Fredette of Brigham Young finally ran out of steam against Florida in an Overtime loss in the NCAA tournament. He still had 32 points and they still had a chance to win the game but Jimmer finally lost his legs and his jumpshot along with it. He was 11 for 29 from the field and 3 for 15 from the three point line. He had played every minute of every game for 5 out of the past 6. I think he was just wore out. That is alot of basketball on a very big stage.
I am a huge North Carolina Tarheels fan but Jimmer was one of the rare opposition players that I enjoyed watching. He enjoys the game, he plays with an unbridled passion, he is very unassuming, and he always seemed to put the team first. He carried them on his back for as long as he could especially after their starting big man got suspended. That suspension really changed the dynamics of the team and put more pressure on Jimmer. I do not know how well Jimmer will fare in the pro's but I enjoyed watching him play college basketball.
