UK's Wall head and shoulders above nation

Instead, the talk centered on the legend of John Wall, which continued to grow.

It began with a game-winning jumper with 0.5 seconds left in his first college game to rescue the Wildcats against Miami (Ohio). He also made two huge free throws with 2.4 seconds left to force overtime against Stanford as the Wildcats avoided the upset.

Wall then sealed a win against North Carolina this past weekend with a pair of free throws with 4.3 seconds left and followed with the game-winner Wednesday night.

The guy has played eight games and basically dealt the opposition the knockout blow in four of them.

Sure, there are still some corrections that need to be made. He'll need to value the ball more and cut down on the turnovers.

But the scariest part?

Wall's only eight games into his career.
