MMBOD Dec 01: Nick Fazekas - Nevada
Never mind that beating Kansas is happening so often lately that it's going to end up as a carnival midway attraction at county fairs next summer. Or that all the requisite motions have been captured by green-screen CGI cameras for a video game, coming out in time for the Tournament. It's still Kansas. You know, all that legacy - James Naismith, Phog Allen, Danny Manning.
Last night's 9 p.m. start time gave viewers at home plenty of time to recover from the shock that Joey was a rerun, but once All-Everything Nick Fazekas started heating up in Lawrence, prime time had officially begun. The 6'11" Wolf Pack member scored 21 of his career-high 35 in the second half - then provided the News at 11 with the thunderous block that sealed the upset. Fazekas to Hoops Nation: "How YOU doin'?"
