Congrats to Garland 2012-2013 Giant Killers of the year from ESPN Insider:
Tyrone Garland, G, La Salle Explorers
In a season without Wichita State or FGCU, we'd all be marveling over La Salle, a smart, efficient 13-seed that found two key ways to eke out three tournament wins, including a killing of vulnerable Giant Kansas State. They protected the ball (turnovers on just 15.7 percent of possessions in the Big Dance) and hit bombs (34-of-80 on 3-point attempts, or 42.5 percent).
And after Garland scorched Boise State, Jerrell Wright stepped up against K-State and Ramon Galloway had a monster game against Ole Miss. So consider this a team pick, which we're giving to Garland because of his game-winning shot against Mississippi -- the Southwest Philly Floater that launched a legend, not to mention a frenzy of local news stories and t-shirts.
