Dan Patrick: "So, Nolan Smith, who would be your choice for NPOY?"

Nolan Smith: "Well, Jimmer Fredette's been a lot of fun to watch."

In all the discussion of Jimmer catching Ainge for the all time BYU scoring record, young James is only 2 points behind Devin Durant for most points scored in a single season. With a real chance to get to 1000 points in a season. Many schools celebrate a player who scores 1000 in a career.

He had a chance to break it in the same amount of games Durant played vs Wyoming. Durant did it in 31 games. Wyoming was Jimmers 31st game.

Six games makes him a lock, his average will get him there in five and if he gets there in four, it could very well mean his first 50-point game. That said, he has almost zero shot of getting that 50-point game in either the MWC opener or NCAA first-round game, so I'll say he gets to 1,000 sometime around the halfway point of the second half in BYU's second-round game.

You know that Jimmer dropped 45 in the first round game last year right?

Trevon Willis on Jimmer as MWC POY:

Fredette was a unanimous selection because Willis was not allowed to vote.

"My vote would have been for Kawhi Leonard or maybe D.J. Gay, all-around players who can play defense," Willis said

One of the better highlight mixes I have seen as it has South Padre footage that many didn't see.

That missed dunk has come back to haunt him. They always do.

He also missed 2 FTs against WYO that would have given him it.

That's what he gets for leading the nation in scoring, taking BYU to a Mountain West Conference title, and routinely tearing apart defenses designed to stop him and only him. The 6-foot-2 guard made people care about college basketball who wouldn't otherwise care and made me spend more time on the Mountain West Sports Network than I ever would've imagined. In fact, I watched multiple games in normal definition, which is something I rarely do anymore because I'm spoiled by HD. But I did it for Jimmer. And I'd do it again.

Jimmermania = more powerful than HD

[Coach McGuirk]

The at UNLV game to start MWC play may be my favorite of the year. The team just torched them and put the conference on notice for what was to come.

Near as I can tell, the last D1 player to reach 1000 points in a season was Glenn Robinson in 1994, and only 18 players have ever done it. That'd be quite a cool club for Jimmer to join. I bet he does it.

To be fair he has missed a lot of shots that would have given him 2 more points before the end of the WYO game. Not fair to blame those specific FTs.

I think Curry was the closest at 974 his last college season. Some years the top scorer in the nation finishes at fewer than 800 points for the year. Wally World led the nation in total points his last season and he finished with 775.
