I think that's a very UNFORTUNATE circumstance. Love the Sweet 16,
and can imagine the thrill it would be to have a dominating performance in
it. That being said, I don't like the idea of anyone basing they're
vote on that performance. It's entirely possible that a good,
not great player can have a big performance over a short 4 day period,
and it's even more possible for a truly great player to be on a
team that doesn't even make it there.

The only way I would let that decide it for me is if I were undecided
between 2 players that made it to the Sweet 16 and let their
performances there break the tie for me. It's like baseball MVP
or Cy Young, the voting is done before the psot season to
avoid the very issue.

So tell me how many truly great players from the state of Ky. have not been named Mr. Basketball? Should the championship event in any respective sport not be taken into consideration. It would be ludicrous to award a player based solely on his Sweet Sixteen performance, but many years there is not a clear cut favorite, allowing a player to win it late.
