Will 'Cuse crap the bed against Butler?
Most impressive playerPelton: John, I'm going to suggest we move on to item 2 on our tastefully printed agendas, most impressive player. With apologies to Omar Samhan, Kansas State's Jacob Pullen had about as good a game as you're going to see against BYU despite a hip injury that appeared to bother him throughout. It would have been enough for Pullen to score 34 points on 8-of-15 shooting, dropping seven three-pointers and making all 11 of his attempts at the foul line. On top of that, Pullen stifled first-round hero Jimmer Fredette, limiting him to 5-of-13 shooting and coming up with four steals, twice picking Fredette clean off the dribble. Fear the Beard indeed.Doolittle: Agree completely. Pullen has been fabulous. Seven three-points and 11 free throws made against BYU while doing a great job getting Fredette under wraps.Pomeroy: Not to fold to peer pressure, but: Pullen! If only because you rarely see a player have an impact game on both ends of the floor the way he did against BYU. He was responsible for chasing Fredette on most possessions, and he also put up 34 points on just 15 FGAs and 11 FTAs. In a sport where the offensive star is often asked to do little on defense, the bearded one was K-State’s best player on both ends of the floor.
