Mr. Jackson, If You're Nasty

Cedric Jackson, the recently canonized patron saint of WGASIG, helped Cleveland State upset Wake Forest, finishing with 19 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and, that's right, three steals. I read somewhere that this kid liked the big stage.

Cedric Jackson, a 6-3 senior transfer from St. John's, averaged 10 points, five rebounds, five assists and three steals per game this season for the upstart Horizon League Champion Cleveland State Vikings, who enter the NCAA tournament with a more efficient defense than DeJuan Blair's Pittsburgh squad and winner of four straight, including an upset over the Butler Bulldogs in the Horizon League championship. In the Vikings's December win over Syracuse--at the Carrier Dome, no less-- Jackson finished with 13 points, five assists, four rebounds and three steals. Against the Bulldogs, Jackson, one of the country's best at picking an opposing player's pocket, led the Vikings with 19 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and, yup, three steals. He seems to like the big stage. 

Jackson and the Vikings take on Jeff Teague and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons Friday night in Miami, in the opening round of the Midwest region.
