KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / MONDAY, JANUARY 31, 2011 / NEWS 11A QUOTE OF THE DAY "Talent is God-given, be humble. Fame is man-given, be grateful. Concise is self-given, be careful." John Wooden FACT OF THE DAY The 11 three-point attempts against Kansas State ties a season low. — Kansas Athletics TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: How many seasons in a row have the now 20-1 Jayhawks won 20 or more games? A: Twenty two. Fredette shoots past competition MORNING BREW You can talk all you want about Kemba Walker or Marcus Morris, but the statistical anomaly of 2011 college basketball season is The 6'2, 195-pound guard from Glens Falls, N.Y., was not highly-toured out of high school. He was a three-star player, according to rivals, and he did not have one scholarship offer from a BCS program. Fredrede is shooting 48.1 percent from the field and 43.4 percent from the three-point line. He has not been shying away from taking long-range shots, either. He has taken 164 threes and made 69 of them. Compare that to only 108 threes taken by Tyrel Reed, who is shooting at 38 percent this season. The senior at BYU is putting up Stephen Curry-esque numbers for the Cougars this season. Fredette is playing 34.2 minutes a game and averaging 27.6 points a game. The amazing thing about Fredette's numbers are the field goal percentages he has, to go along with the large number of points he has been scoring. It now appears "The Jimmer" has fully caught the eye of ESPN and the media. The Thursday morning headline under the ESPN home page for NCAA Basketball read "The Aztecs get Jimmered." Fredette has also been blowing up on twitter.com, and Sports Illustrated writer Seth Davis recently joked about Fredette's amazing ability, saying, "The Jimmer doesn't flush toilets, he simply scares the crap out of them." Sportscaster Dick Vitale was more serious when he posted his tweet on twitter.com, saying. "Get the PoY trophy 4 Jimmer-Fredette time vs San Diego St @RealJayWIlliam 43 baby!" BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com Translation: Jimmer Fredrete deserves the Player of the Year award after his 43-point performance against #4 San Diego State. In a game BYU won against Arizona earlier in the season, , Fredette finished with 33 points and nine rebounds. Against Utah, who has been struggling this season, Fredette put up an impressive 47 points and had six assists. And recently, when the one-loss Cougars knocked off undefeated San Diego State, Jimmer contributed 43 points to the BYU victory. It's hard to disagree with Mr. Vitale. Sorry Kemba, but Fredde has been putting on one hell of a show. It's one thing to put up these incredible numbers against some of the lesser competition BYU faces, but "The Jimmer" has been saving his best performances for the Cougar's biggest games. After watching Fredette's mesmerizing performance against San Diego State, NBA star Kevin Durant also chimed in on the compelling game. "Jimmer Fredette is the best scorer in the world!!," Durant said on twitter.com so this is a warning in advance for Jayhawk Nation:if the Jayhawks happen to face off against the Cougars in the tourney, Fredette could and most certainly would create some major issues for the Jayhawks. Yes, the Jayhawks have good defenders to throw at Fredette, like Tyshawn Taylor and Brady Morningstar, but the Jayhawks have given up big points to guards throughout the year. Texas guard JCovan Brown had 23 points against Kansas, and Iowa State guard Diante Garrett had 27. If the Jayhawks want to go far in the tourney this year, they better either hope they don't face BYU, or learn how to shut down strong guards. Jimmer Fredette is the best player in the country, and he will most certainly create major problems for all of his opponents from here on out. — Edited by Amanda Sorell right-hand of each page. Pressing the button brings Mr. Vitale right to the hands of children. "Give me a high five baby!" the book sounds as he pressed the button for a demonstration. He says it is really important to have the right attitude when beginning to read, and he feels his book will give kids that attitude. He soon plans on having a motivational book for 7 to 12 year-olds that will address the importance of pride and passion in life. These qualities can be seen on his face and beard in his voice whenever he talks. Not just about basketball, but anything under the sun. "What I do is small on the scale of importance of life," he said before getting called by producers for his ESPN spot, "but what I do, I do to the best of my ability. I do it with my heart and my spirit." VITALE (CONTINUED FROM 12A) That's who he is, fitting that this is the man behind the voice. Back to what he came to Lawrence for. Basketball. A rivalry. Easy subject to transition to for him. He not only has called games for years, but he was a successful college and professional coach and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame in 2008. Although he didn't have a prediction for the game on Saturday, he did relate to someone else's opinion of the Sunflower Showdown. "Lately you almost have to agree with Tyshawn Taylor when he said 'Where's our rivalry?' To me, you gotta win your share of games, I mean for a rivalry fan wise, excitement, yes, but scoring wise it's been all Kansas." He must know what he is talking about. Kansas outsides scored Kane After he had finished his dinner, some of it ending up on his shirt being that he was in a rush, he began talking with some friends who had come to town for the game. He told them they were really going to enjoy this place--Allen Field-house--as he was slowly corralled out of the room by producers. sas State by 24 points.
