I know, I didn't think it was possible earlier this year either. But look at this:
13 reg season games left.
3 possible MWC Tournament games
Who knows how many NCAA Tourney games we play.
Jimmer needs 467 points for the record.
To get it by the end of the regular season:
35.9ppg. No.
To get it with only 1 win in the MWC Tourney and 1st round loss:
29.2ppg. Still no, but warmer.
To get it upon MWC Championship berth and a 1st round loss:
27.5ppg. Umm, all the sudden within the realm of possibility, and not even as far as we are all hoping.
To get it upon MWC Championship berth and a 1st round win, 2nd round loss:
25.9ppg. Hmm, already beneath his current average, and again, not even as far as we are all hoping.
To get it upon MWC Championship berth and a 2nd round win, Sweet 16 loss:
24.9ppg. Beneath what his average was BEFORE tonights 47 point bump.
To get it upon MWC Championship berth and a Sweet 16 win, Elite 8 loss:
23.4ppg. So if he continues what he's been doing, AND goes where Danny went, he... uhh... has it.
Wow.
Here's a little historical perspective:
From exactly this point on last season, Jimmer averaged 24.2ppg last season, while still getting over Mono, and that average INCLUDED games of 6, 8, 9, and 11 points that brought the average down.
His average in the 4 tournament games we played, when he was healthy and the season was on the line?
33.3ppg.
I mean, WOW. This could actually happen!
