March Madness: The Top 10 Individual Performances of the Opening Weekend
These 10 players delivered the best individual performances of the NCAA Tournament's first two rounds.

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.
