With No. 3 BYU's 83-74 loss to the No. 2 seed Florida Gators, it means that star Jimmer Fredette's collegiate career is over.
Fredette, one of the most exciting players in the nation this season, took the fans by storm as he became one of the most prolific scorers in the NCAA.
Fredette averaged 28.9 points per game this season, the most in the entire nation. Along with the almost 29 points per game, he also dished out 4.3 assists.
The Cougars ended the season with a 32-5 record, but advanced to the Sweet 16 despite not having forward Brandon Davies, who was kicked off the team not too long ago.
With his collegiate career finally over, Fredette can be considered one of the best pure shooters in NCAA history.
He would astound fans with his deep range, hitting a good amount of three-pointers while a couple of feet behind the three-point line.
Now hoping to take his skills to the NBA, Fredette can only hope that he doesn't end up like another former pure shooter, Adam Morrison. Or, could he end up like someone else such as a mix between Steve Nash and Chris Mullin?
Only time will tell, but for now, we'll just watch his highlights.
..And just for kicks and giggles - Adam Morrison crying after Gonzaga's loss to UCLA:

Adam Morrison's Legacy
By: Stephen Patterson
This video is a personal favorite here at the site, something we go to in our darkest moments to feel just a little bit better. Morrison will forever live on in my memory as the trash-stache bearing, goofy looking player at Gonzaga that realized in this video that perhaps the only thing dropping faster than his tears was his basketball career. As seen on the previous post (T-Ward's Top Draft Busts), Morrison was his 5th worst bust of all time and he is definitely Top 5 in my books as well. Morrison was never destined for stardom on the NBA stage and I think he realized this while on the floor after this shocking loss. Some people may remember Morrison for riding the Laker's pine for two championships in his Walmart suits and his cheerleading abilities, but I will always remember Adam for his breakdown upon realizing the end of his meaningful basketball career. We hope you enjoy the video, and that it brings a smile to everyone's face in their dark moments too:
