2. Jevon Carter, West Virginia

Round of 32 vs. Marshall
nERD: 74.89
28 points, 5 assists, 5 steals, 4 rebounds

Through two NCAA Tournament games, here's where Jevon Carter's totals stand: 49 points, 13 assists, 9 rebounds, and 11 steals. In a word, yes, Jevon Carter is the reason the West Virginia Mountaineers have yet to be pushed much by an opponent.

Carter's Round of 32 performance against Marshall really stands out: against an upset-minded Marshall squad, he put up 28 points, thanks in part to a 5-of-7 finish from the three-point line. He nicely complemented his scoring, grabbing a few rebounds (4) and assisting on a number (5) of his teammates' scores.

Though he put up 28 points, where Carter really stands out is on defense, as he remains one of the best two-way guards in the country with his ability to lock down opposing perimeter players. In perfect "Press Virginia" fashion, the experienced senior manufactured 5 steals on his way to a ridiculous 81.6 Defensive Rating.
