Finally.

Jimmer Fredette is player of the week in the Mountian West Conference this week!!
"A 6-foot-2 guard from Glenn Falls, N.Y., Fredette averaged 20.0 points per game while shooting 72.7 percent from the field (16-for-22) and 87.5 percent from the charity stripe in helping BYU to wins against Boise State (94-56) and Portland (91-76) last week. He started the week scoring a career-high 23 points on 10-of-15 shooting, while tying a career-best with four steals vs. Boise State. Fredette also tallied two assists vs. the Broncos. Against Portland, Fredette scored 17 points (6-for-7 from the field), while also collecting three rebounds, three assists and two steals."

...Not to mention a couple of awesome dunks! He's only a sophomore, and the youngest player to get this award so far this season. He's so fun to watch and I'm so excited he's starting at point guard now.

Those two games, Boise St. and Portland, were so much fun and of course I was at both! The Boise St. game especially was explosive, with a 60+ point second half! It was so crazy and I loved it! Everything was going right.

I'm so excited for tomorrow and the Arizona team double-header. Football vs. Arizona in the Vegas Bowl and Basketball vs. Arizona St. in the University of Phoenix Stadium for the Stadium Shoot Out! Arizona St. is ranked #20 in the AP, and a win Saturday would surely land the Cougars with a top-25 ranking of their own. At 10-0, I don't know why it hasn't happened sooner. In basketball, rankings don't matter that much other than getting the team national attention, which I guess is very important.

The Vegas Bowl should be great as well, and I just can't see the Cougars losing. They have too much to prove, showing they can overcome a less-than-ideal regular season ending. The offense should come out firing, and the defense hungry. Can't wait!

GOOOOOOOOO COUGARS!!!!!:):)
