The dust and my outrageous bar tabs have settled and we are in the sweet 16. Holy crap! Through all the games, one guy stood out to me. Dom-Kirk, the kid from Bryan Adams that "nobody wanted" (in the interest of full-disclosure, he stood out to ever beat writer in American, the difference his that he has been my favorite player since Josh R. was telling me there is no way he should be starting his freshman year, there was no way he would start his sophomore year, and he was beat out of his starting position by Sloan in his junior year, suck it Josh). He arrived on Thursday averaging 6.5 a game. Then he decided to "just let it ride" and doubled it in the Penn game (16) and tripled it in the Louisville game (21). 2 of those 21 came off free throws set up by one of his two steals. Acie put it perfectly, Kirks does not "normally get all of the attention... [but] stepped up and made huge plays for us."
