Jared Sullinger is a BEAST

Ohio State freshman Jared Sullinger poured in 40 points to help the Buckeyes remain unbeaten on the strength of a 34-14 run to close the game and quell the upset bid from IUPUI.  Sullinger added 13 boards but perhaps the most impressive facet of his performance of the year was that he racked up an Ohio state freshman record 40 points on just 17 shot attempts.

Sullinger was simply too much for the Jaguars to handle, battering the smaller front line into foul after foul.  he made the most of his free throw visits, connecting on 16 of 23 attempts.

Sullinger moves to the top spot of the March Maniacs freshman power poll, passing the unfortunatly and somewhat mysteriously) injured Duke point guard Kyrie Irving.

Moving into the second slot is do-everything Kentucky power forward, empahsis on the word "power", Terrance Jones.  Jones exploited Notre Dame's lack of atleticism, pouring in 27 points and 13 boards in the Wildcats impressive win over the Irish.  Jones is one of only three players in the nation averaging more than 20 points and 10 rebounds per game.

Sullinger not only is the top frosh, but is at the top of our POY ballot as well.
The rest of the rankings are as follows:

1.  Jared Sullinger (Ohio State)
2.  Terrance Jones (Kentucky)
3.  Kyrie Irving (Duke)
4.  Tobias Harris (Tennessee)
5.  Brandon Knight (Kentucky)
