Easy route to the championship?

I said "fairly easy". And that's just in the context of getting to the finals

With Davies they would have had different seeding that year

Correct. They were a projected 1 seed by most.

jimmer got so many layups from his steals.

He was arguably one of the best defensive guards in the country

Jimmer couldn't have been Jimmer without Jackson. He doesn't get nearly

I think this is the most common remark about Jackson on this board . . .

True that is a common remark. I think Jackson would have been considered one of

I would’ve gone with Pippin and Jordan. But Jax is nicer.

What’s crazy is that he was still a very good defender.

Jimmer actually had good steal numbers

Jimmer had more steals than Jackson entering their JR seasons. Emery had 57 steals (10 & 47) & Jimmer had 77 (27 & 50).

I believe he still owns the steals career and game records here at BYU.
