One of the strengths of the Joint Photographic Experts' Group (JPEG) compression format is that pictures can be displayed over and over in web browsers, with no degradation of image quality over time. That's why we can put Nick Fazekas here in this space over and over, and not have to worry about ever replacing the file. The Big Freak gained his fourth MMBOD nod of the season (on his 12th double-double) with a dominating performance over Mid-American leaders Akron in last night's BracketBusters nightcap. He went over, around and through the Zips, keying a gigantic 17-2 first-half run that put this one away early. Then he decided to get all fancy, dropping a killer three early in the second that put the Pack up 61-37. The 27-point final margin isn't a reflection on how bad Akron (or the MAC) is, it shows that Nevada is really that good. As in, Sweet 16 or Elite Eight good.
