Cinder (Lunar Chronicles (Quality)) (edition 2013)
by Marissa Meyer
Work details
Cinder by Marissa Meyer
Compact | Rate recommendations
As you can guess from the title, this is a retelling of the classic fairy tale Cinderella, but with a pretty big twist. The setting is New Beijing on an Earth that has robots, cyborgs, and some warlike and aggressive neighbors from the Moon. Many of the elements are the same as the original story - there is a Prince who is very charming, an evil stepmother, and of course that spectacular royal ball. But the differences really make this story sparkle. Cinder is still a sweet girl, but she is gutsy, resourceful, and a geek. She doesn't rely on fairy godmothers and she aspires to more than pulling herself out of the fireplace ashes into a royal marriage. Instead, she is out to save the world. Very fun - looking forward to the sequel.
I was super excited to read Cinder and it did not disappoint. I absolutely love fairy tales retold in different ways, and this was definitely a creative take on Cinderella. This was a very enjoyable read. I plowed through it, not really wanting to put it down, because I wanted to know how it ended. I'm looking forward to the next one, though it seems like it's going to be a while?
One thing I did notice about the book was that at times it could be a little predictable. Sometimes the big reveal was obvious before it happened (there were a few occasions when this was the case). That being said, though, it wasn't a distraction or a bad thing, it just meant that while the story was trying to be a bit mysterious, it was easy to guess what was coming next.
I also liked the characters. While Cinder was a bit focused on being a cyborg, and what that meant for her, her interactions with her sister and the prince gave her a depth past that internal dilemma.
At the end of the day, I very much enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anybody who likes young adult with a twist of science fiction and some dystopian action.
This was a really addicting book. I'm glad I finally read it. I can't believe I didn't pick it up sooner. I thought this would be just another typical Cinderella story, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Interesting concepts.. but none explored fully
Kai is sweet, but honestly, love at first sight with a greasy mechanics? Must be Glamour effect of Lunar... that is literally the only reasonable explanation
Predictable plot, the moment Princess Selene was mentioned.. I think everyone instantly knew who she is (but we still have to wait until the last pages of the book for confirmation.... woohoo)
Didn't really connect with Cinder... sorry maybe its the cyborg thing
Cinderella? Honestly?! No fairy godmother, no pumpkin carriage, no pretty dress and shoes.. only wrinkled dress from deceased sister, stolen shoes and a barely functioning gasoline car.... to top that... leaving a foot behind instead a shoe... The author is really trying hard to twist this into the Cinderella story but failed miserably in my opinion.
[Cross-posted to Knite Writes]
This book was a fun read, I thought, but it had a pile of issues.
While the pacing of the book is pretty quick and never drags, the plot itself leaves a lot to be desired. The foreshadowing is so overdone, so obvious, and so often repeated that none of the major "twists" actually end up a surprise. Especially the main twist at the end — I'm not even sure why it was set up to be a "big reveal" at all, given the sheer amount of time spent discussing the topic beforehand.
On a different note, many areas of the story were sorely underutilized. Parts that could have been exciting action sequences were reduced to short asides, and far too many interesting occurrences were glossed over over in summary form to make room for scenes that didn't add much to the story. Worst of all, while the story moves fast, for sure, it doesn't really move anywhere — most of the plot didn't push the story forward, and as the book wound to a close, I realized (with horror) that Cinder suffers from the dreaded "prologue book" syndrome. This book basically acts as a minimal effort setup for the "more exciting" sequel instead of standing on its own as a strong, well-designed novel.
Overall, I found the plot of Cinder lackluster and poorly constructed.
The characters didn't do much for me either. Many of them fell under the banner of absolute good or evil, and the ones who didn't were either minor characters or woefully inconsistent in their presentation. Cinder, as a protagonist, was all over the place — sometimes, she came off as capable, other times far too childish and naive for her age (and her apparent life experience). Kai, as a love interest and a Prince, fell flat for me — he was too often used as a mechanism to get a more in-depth look as Levana. His actual personality and development were compacted into too few scenes, and he had very little emotional depth.
Finally, there was Levana — the evil queen. And that's all she was. Evil for, apparently, evil's sake. My least favorite kind of villain. I found her presentation…not particularly compelling, to say the least. She could have been far more complex and interesting, but instead, she was cast as the default "pure evil" bad guy.
So, poor plot and poor characters. Yikes. But it does get worse:
By far, my biggest problem with this story was the world-building. Excuse me: what world-building? All the world-building in this story was tissue-paper thin. Everything was superficial. What could have been the sort of brilliantly vibrant and weird future society that the most imaginative of SFF books explore was instead reduced to a few key pieces of technology (androids, cyborgs, future cars) and some throwaway lines about altered country boundaries, a fourth World War, and a plague.
I was so disappointed by the lack of proper world-building in this story — because the premise sounded excellent. And I could see the foundation for a ton of awesome world-building throughout the book…but it never came to fruition. It all fell to the wayside in favor the breakneck pacing and the frivolous plot details. In the end, the book leaves the reader with a very indistinct picture of the world — and an even more indistinct picture of the weird Moon society supposedly threatening the world. I would have really loved to learn the history of that. But I didn't get the chance to.
All in all, this book is definitely a case of "Cool idea! Poor execution." Obviously, a lot of imagination went into creating the ideas behind this book, but most of those ideas were never fleshed out in the actual story. As a result, the book failed to impress me on pretty much every front.
Really, the only redeeming quality of this book is that, at its core, it's a fairly quick, fun read. It's not horrible, really. But it just doesn't do, well, anything, to stand out and become a great book.

MESSENGER Mission Update: First burn performed to lower extended mission altitude
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2012/04/16 07:58 CDT
The MESSENGER mission just issued a press release announcing that they have completed the first step in the two-step process of lowering the spacecraft's orbit around Mercury.
An update on Opportunity, and a plea for some volunteer desktop publishing help
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2012/04/03 05:00 CDT | 2 comments
A. J. S. Rayl has just posted her monthly update on the goings-on at Meridiani planum, noting that the update recaps the 99th month of the Mars Exploration Rover mission. There's a lot of detail on how the radio-tracking campaign is going. While she's not driving, Opportunity's acting like a lander, with radio antennas on Earth performing Doppler tracking to allow very fine measurement of Mars' orbital motion.
Mars Exploration Rovers Update: Opportunity Gets Energy Boost and Works Through Depths of Winter
Posted by A.J.S. Rayl on 2012/03/31 05:40 CDT
March came in like a lion and went out like a lamb at Meridiani Planum, Mars: Opportunity felt the cold wind on her solar panels, then "settled" in a little more, working through the depths of its fifth Martian winter, as the team honored one of its own up there, and the Mars Exploration Rover mission logged month number 99 of exploration.
What's up in the solar system in April 2012
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2012/03/30 02:27 CDT
Welcome to my monthly roundup of the activities of our intrepid robotic emissaries across the solar system! I count 16 spacecraft that are actively performing 13 scientific missions at Mercury, Venus, the Moon, Mars, Vesta, Saturn, and at the edge of the heliosphere.
Dawn Journal: Saluting the Sun
Posted by Marc Rayman on 2012/03/29 05:19 CDT
On April 18, Dawn will attain its greatest separation yet from Earth, nearly 520 million kilometers. Well beyond Mars, fewer than a dozen spacecraft have ever operated so far from Earth.
What's up in the solar system in March 2012
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2012/03/27 02:53 CDT
This month will see GRAIL begin its science mission measuring the Moon's gravity field. MESSENGER will complete its primary mission at Mercury, celebrating its one-Earth-year-in-orbit anniversary with a big data release, and immediately begin work on its one-year extended mission. Mars will pass its solstice, ushering in warmer days for Opportunity. Coincidentally, this month will see Jupiter's southern winter solstice, too, though there are no spacecraft there to notice it. Out at Saturn, Cassini will have two encounters with Enceladus this month, one of them distant, one of them at 74 kilometers altitude.
Venus Express star trackers recovered
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2012/03/09 07:18 CST
Just a quick note because I didn't want to let the weekend go by without telling people that Venus Express' star trackers are back online.
Good news, bad news: GRAIL science underway, Venus Express suffers storm damage
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2012/03/08 06:54 CST
Two brief mission updates. First, the good news: NASA announced yesterday that the twin GRAIL spacecraft have begun the science phase of the mission, transmitting precisely timed signals to each other in order to map the Moon's gravity field. The bad news: according to ESA, since the recent solar storm passed Venus, both of Venus Express' star trackers are suddenly unable to detect stars.
Mars Exploration Rovers Update: Opportunity Turns On, Tunes In, and Drops Panoramic Postcard to Earth
Posted by A.J.S. Rayl on 2012/02/29 10:24 CST
There's no hail or snow or sleet, though it is the depth of winter at Meridiani Planum and a cold unimaginable to us has gripped the landscape.
Dawn Journal: Bonus time at low altitude
Posted by Marc Rayman on 2012/02/29 02:43 CST
Dawn is continuing its exploits at Vesta, performing detailed studies of the colossal asteroid from its low altitude mapping orbit (LAMO).
BepiColombo's launch date has slipped to August 2015
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2012/02/29 08:55 CST
ESA announced this morning that the launch of their BepiColombo mission, a cooperative effort with JAXA, has been delayed from its originally planned July 2014 to the backup launch window in August 2015.
Phobos-Grunt Failure Report Released
Posted by Louis D. Friedman on 2012/02/06 05:24 CST
It appears that Phobos-Grunt was doomed before it launched on November 9, 2011. Cheap parts, design shortcomings, and lack of pre-flight testing ensured that the spacecraft would never fulfill its goals.
Yay for Juno! First major course correction complete
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2012/02/02 03:33 CST
JPL issued a news note today that the Jupiter-bound Juno spacecraft has successfully completed the first of twelve trajectory correction maneuvers it'll perform between launch last year and Jupiter arrival in 2016. Its next maneuver will take place in August of this year. Go Juno!
Official Phobos-Grunt Failure Report Released
Posted by Louis D. Friedman on 2012/01/31 05:32 CST
Roscosmos, the Russian Space Agency, has released its official report concerning the failure of the Phobos-Grunt spacecraft, which fell back to Earth from orbit on January 15 after failing to ignite the engines that were to take it to the largest Martian moon.
What's Up in the Solar System in February 2012
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2012/01/31 01:12 CST | 1 comments
I think the word for the month of February is: "routine." The 21 missions that I'm tracking (amounting to 24 spacecraft) are nearly all in routine science operations or cruise behavior, gathering data from across the solar system or journeying to new destinations.
Akatsuki to try for Venus orbit in June 2016
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2012/01/31 10:37 CST
Japan's Venus climate orbiter Akatsuki failed to enter orbit in December 2010 when a clogged valve caused catastrophic damage to its main engine. Since then, JAXA's engineers and navigators have determined that although the main engine is a total loss, there is the possibility of achieving Venus orbit on a future encounter, using only the attitude control rockets.
Mars Exploration Rovers Update: Opportunity Celebrates 8, Keeps on Rockin' into Year 9
Posted by A.J.S. Rayl on 2012/01/31 10:24 CST
As Opportunity worked away on its winter science campaign, the Mars Exploration Rover mission quietly completed its eighth Earth year of exploring the surface of the Red Planet last week, and is now roving on into Year 9 of its 90-day mission.
Dawn Journal: How does Dawn know where "down" is?
Posted by Marc Rayman on 2012/01/30 01:23 CST
Since the last log, the robotic explorer Dawn has devoted most of its time to its two primary scientific objectives in this phase of the mission.
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2012/01/23 05:32 CST
Today Opportunity sent back to Earth the last few frames of the "deck pan" self-portrait she took during the waning days of 2011. Her solar panels are very dusty, which isn't helpful. It's near winter solstice in her southern location on Mars, so the angled Sun is not providing as much power as it would in a different season.
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2012/01/16 02:27 CST
Phobos-Grunt has returned to Earth, a lot sooner than it should have. Yesterday, at approximately 17:45 UT, the Russian spacecraft and its passengers, including a Chinese orbiter and the Planetary Society's LIFE experiment, descended into Earth's atmosphere.

Kraken ( /ˈkreɪkən/ or /ˈkrɑːkən/) are legendary sea monsters of gargantuan size, said to have dwelt off the coasts of Norway and Iceland. The sheer size and fearsome appearance attributed to the beasts have made them common ocean-dwelling monsters,...
The legend may actually have originated from sightings of real giant squid that are variously estimated to grow to 13–15 m (40–50 ft) in length, including the tentacles.These creatures normally live at great depths, but have been sighted at the surface and have reportedly attacked ships.

He knows this means I will most likely fill our van with a bunch of things he doesn't really "get."

Yesterday, Newt Gingrich held another conference call for Religious Right supporters, seeking to mobilize them ahead of the Republican primary in Florida. The call was hosted by Jim Garlow and featured several other of the Gingrich campaign's Faith Coalition leaders explaining why they had decided to support Gingrich ... and the consensus was that if President Obama wins re-election, it means the end of Western Civilization: Mat Staver: I believe that if Speaker Gingrich wins Florida next Tuesday, he wins the nomination.

BioProspect Limited announced the signing of a new international market development agreement with Ensystex Corporation for natural termite solution Termilone.
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — BioProspect Limited announced the signing of a new international market development agreement with Ensystex Corporation for natural termite solution Termilone, as it continues to commercialize its natural product portfolio.
Following an initial evaluation agreement signed in January 2009, Ensystex has now agreed to undertake efficacy testing at its own cost for the registration of Termilone as a soil-applied termiticide with the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA).
BioProspect Managing Director Charles Pellegrino said the agreement was an important step in the delivery of an environmentally safe, low toxicity product to major markets including the United States, Japan and Australia.
"Ensystex has remained committed to Termilone since the signing of our initial agreement, and we are pleased to have taken our partnership a step further as we move to commercialise this important Australian discovery," Mr Pellegrino said.
"BioProspect expects to gain registration of TERMILONE®'s active constituent, Eremophilone Oil, with the APVMA in early 2010. We are now focused on delivering a data package to the regulator for end-use products, and Ensystex together with our scientific collaborators at the CSIRO, Southern Cross University and the University of Western Sydney will help us achieve this."
He said registration in Australia would assist registration in the United States and Japan, with BioProspect and Ensystex having the option upon the agreement's conclusion of entering into a commercial agreement for the supply and distribution of TERMILONE® to selected international markets.
BioProspect Chief Operating Officer Peter May said field trials with end-use products were being planned by Ensystex for the first quarter of 2010. They would include a termite colony control trial to be undertaken in Townsville, north Queensland, in the first quarter of 2010 over three months, and a residual efficacy trial at the same location over a two-year period.
"Since the termite-resistant properties of Eremophila mitchellii (False Sandalwood) trees were first identified, BioProspect has invested considerable resources in developing a product with extremely low human and environmental toxicity, and with applications both as a timber protectant and as a toxicant and repellent for use as a soil-applied termiticide," May said.
"The two-year international testing program to be initiated by Ensystex is rigorous, with Termilone undergoing tests under a variety of situations and locations, including under slab, perimeter trenching and application through reticulation systems. BioProspect is also completing a manufacturing study on extracting Eremophilone Oil from timber on a commercial scale to add to our end-use product registration package, while progressing patent applications for Termilone in the United States and Japan."
Ensystex President David R. Nimocks, III, said the new agreement was a milestone in the development of an environmentally friendly solution for homeowners and industry users around the world.
"Ensystex aims to be a leader in environmentally responsible and effective, long-term pest management solutions and we see Termilone as a key part of our future green product range. Ensystex distributes products in all the major pest management markets around the world, including the United States, Europe and Asia-Pacific, allowing for rapid commercialisation of Termilone products internationally," Nimocks said.
A new study from Penn Medicine researchers in the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics demonstrated that bed bugs, like the triatomines, can transmit Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease.
The program enables pest management professionals (PMPs) to evaluate ActiveGuard Mattress Liners in real world applications.
Ronnie Caldwell, president of Innovative Pest Management, Denver, N.C., is one of the stars of the new Bruce Hedrick video 'A Better Man.'
The country has detected its first domestic case of the painful mosquito-borne viral disease chikungunya in the southwest of the country, the state government of Chiapas said on Saturday.
The company's 1st Bi-Annual Thermal Remediation Bed Bug National Conference will be held March 8-10, 2015 in Grapevine, Texas.

I may have spent over 10 years editing writing by academics into something more accessible, but heck! academic writing is a thing, and as written by non-native speakers offers some opportunities for editorial and translation interventions. Can we boil things down to some rules?
First off, I took a look at FutureLearn/Reading's Beginner's guide to writing in English for university study, aka #FLeng4study, which started on 6 October and ran for five weeks. According to the organisers there were over 28K learners from 55 countries enrolled. Like most FutureLearn MOOCs the level felt sub-HE to me, but the following emerged:
- the key features of academic writing are content (the main ideas and information you want to give plus evidence, ie details and examples), organisation (well structured and linked, giving a coherent whole), language (accurate grammar, good spelling, formal and objective rather than personal style)
- more on organisation:
- introduction – two parts; the first part gives some background to the topic, the second part has a narrower focus, telling the reader exactly why you are writing the essay (the thesis statement)
- paragraphs – also two parts; the first part introduces the reader to the focus of the paragraph (the paragraph leader or topic sentence), the second, the paragraph body, develops the idea as introduced in the first part
- conclusion – the first part summarises the ideas in the essay, the second part has a wider focus, giving a suggestion for the future, eg a prediction, recommendation or solution to a problem
Week 3 was on using academic language, perhaps rather basic, but illustrates some basic errors:
- use the present simple for facts, which are permanent or always true and activities, which are repeated or regular; note that the auxiliary verb do is used with the present simple to form negative sentences and questions
- use there is/are to introduce new information, followed by more information in the rest of the sentence or the next sentence
- describe general situations using plural nouns without 'the'
- use the present continuous for situations which are temporary or changing; formed by using the auxiliary verb to be and the present participle
- use a variety of clause structures:
- compound sentences with two simple clauses linked by linking words (and, but, or, so)
- complex sentences using subordinators (although, because, when, whereas)
Week 4 had some tips on writing a plan, perhaps using mindmapping software:
- collect all the ideas you have
- identify the main points and focus on these
- draw a diagram to show which ideas and evidence to use, organised in a way to answer the hidden question in the title
- don't forget evidence (details, examples, facts) to expand on your points
Next up, #acwrimo, aka Academic Writing Month, which with impeccable timing started on 1 November. Find it on Twitter | Facebook | Scoop.it | spreadsheet | map. Launched in 2011 on PhD2Published, #acwrimo is not about quantity over quality but rather about "positive attitudes to writing and established regular and sustainable practices", with participants encouraged to commit to six basic rules. There's loads of activity already. Interesting reflections from regular participant Explorations of Style (2012 | 2013).
There's also a permanent hashtag, #acwri, with fortnightly chats, which
I shall keep an eye on no longer run, plus subhash #acwribomo,

QNX to provide software platform for next-gen Audi infotainment system
Audi's decision to use the QNX Neutrino RTOS is the latest development in a long relationship between the two companies, said. The company already provides the operating system and multimedia middleware for Audi's MMI system, including the MMI generation in the 2010 Audi A8.
The software supports symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), which allows the infotainment system to take full advantage of the ARM Cortex-A9 multi-core processor selected for the hardware. In addition, the operating systems supports transparent distributed processing, which helps reduce overall hardware costs. As a result of these features the A8 infotainment system will be the first automotive system to provide 3D navigation powered by Google Earth.
The QNX Neutrino RTOS forms the foundation of the QNX CAR application platform, which accelerates the prototyping and productizing of in-vehicle systems through an innovative business model and pre-integrated technologies from a broad ecosystem of industry leaders.

6 Rules For Family Night

Recycle What's In Your Lunchbox!

A YOUNG actress is using her skills to encourage others to follow in her footsteps by launching her own stage school.
Madeline Clark has teamed up with Redcar and Cleveland Enterprise Team to start Clarks Theatrical Arts which is aimed at youngsters aged seven to 16.
The 23-year-old, who starred in Unconditional with James Bolam, launched her business at New Marske Church Hall in October and is already planning to expand into Guisborough, Redcar and Saltburn.
The former Stockton Riverside College student, who studied musical theatre and media, has designed a series of workshops which encourage youngsters to hone their drama skills.
She said: "It's all about having fun while learning the techniques they will need should they want to enter the industry, most of the time they won't even realise they are learning."
Her business plan focuses on the development of a curriculum, and a team of drama teachers will help deliver the lesson plans.
"I already had my business plan when I went to see the Enterprise Team, and since that first meeting they've helped every step of the way," she said.
Clarks Theatrical Arts is holding sessions every Tuesday night at New Marske Church Hall for those aged seven to 16.

2013 NCAA Tournament: 10 Players That Will Make Or Break Their Team's Run in the Sweet 16
10 Players That Will Make Or Break Their Team's Run At The National Championship
We've made it to the Sweet 16, where the stars of the NCAA really start to shine. There have been plenty of great individual performances during the first two rounds of the tournament, but there's bound to be plenty more as the stage gets bigger and games become more important.
There are a lot of quality teams remaining among the final 16 teams, and those teams will be winning as a team and losing as a team as we get to the late stages of the tournament. However, many of the teams left are dependent on one or two of their players showing up in big games and coming through in the clutch. So we've put together a list of ten players that will either make or break their team's run to the national championship with their play, starting in the Sweet 16.
These are the types of players that will be heroes if they're able to lead their team to the Final Four and ultimately a national championship. Conversely, these are also the players that will be scapegoats and take the blame if they struggle, don't play to their potential, and their team loses before reaching the Promised Land.
These aren't necessarily the best players on their respective teams, although some of them are, but they have the potential to be the most important player on their team. They have the opportunity to give their team the boost they need to rise above the challenges that face them at this stage in the tournament. So, without further adieu, here are ten players that are either going to make or break their team's national title hopes:
Mark Lyons, Arizona
Lyons is the closest thing the Wildcats have to a true point guard, which means he needs to be at the top of his game for Arizona to advance. He'll have Ohio State's Aaron Craft harassing him in the Sweet 16, and if he struggles in that matchup, it'll be tough for Arizona to win. The Wildcats have enough talent to win the national championship, and it's Lyons that has to play mistake free basketball in order to make that happen.
Erik Murphy, Florida
Florida is perhaps the most well rounded team left in the tournament, but Murphy is the biggest key for them. He is the best stretch 4 in the country and is a matchup nightmare for teams on the perimeter. However, outside of him the Gators don't have much size or depth inside behind Patric Young, so Murphy has to be able to defend big guys and can't get into foul trouble, or else Florida might be in trouble.
Cody Zeller, Indiana
There are so few impact post players in college basketball, and Zeller is one of them. He has the kind of size and skill inside the paint that can carry a team to the national championship. However, when Zeller doesn't play well the Hoosiers are too reliant on their perimeter shooters, which means if they go cold from the outside, they're likely to lose, and that makes Zeller a make or break player.
Ben McLemore, Kansas
McLemore is a talented freshman, but he has struggled down the stretch, averaging 7 points in his last four games, all against NCAA Tournament teams. When he hasn't scored, the Jayhawks have struggled to beat mediocre teams, and there are no more mediocre teams left in the tournament for Kansas to play. He scored just two points against North Carolina, a game that Kansas trailed by nine at halftime. If he can score 15 points a game from here on out, he'll be a difference maker, but if McLemore continues to struggle against quality teams, it'll be tough for Kansas to keep winning.
Russ Smith, Louisville
Smith doesn't have the nickname "Russdiculous" for nothing. He's a guy that can keep both teams in the game with his shot selection and decision-making. The way Smith can score, he can definitely help carry Louisville to the national championship, but he's just as capable of making a lot of mistakes and giving a game away. He's the definition of a "make or break" player for the Cardinals.
Vander Blue, Marquette
Marquette hasn't played great in this tournament, but Blue has saved them in both games: scoring the game winning basket in the final seconds against Davidson and then going off for 29 points against Butler. It'll be up to Blue to continue to carry the Golden Eagles; if he falters at some point, Marquette won't survive.
Shane Larkin, Miami
Miami may be a great team, but Larkin is the biggest reason why they're ACC champions and the biggest reason why they're playing in the second weekend of the tournament. He's the point guard so everything runs through him. If Larkin continues to play at a high level, he has a chance to carry Miami to a national championship, but if he has an off game at some point, the Hurricanes won't be able to win without him at this stage of the tournament.
Trey Burke, Michigan
If you didn't already know, it's been obvious during the first two rounds of the tournament: Burke is the engine that makes Michigan go. He has the kind of talent that can completely take over a game, which makes the Wolverines a legitimate national championship contender, despite struggling at the end of the season and dropping to a 4 seed. However, without strong point guard play, Michigan is nothing more than an average team and won't last much longer in this tournament.
Deshaun Thomas, Ohio State
Thomas is the only player averaging double figure points per game for the Buckeyes, so he is critical to their success. If Ohio State ever gets into a track meet, they'll need Thomas to help them keep pace, because they can't always rely on Aaron Craft making a buzzer beater to bail them out. Thomas can surely carry the Buckeyes out of the West Region and into the Final Four, where they'll have a chance, but if he's not scoring at a high rate, Ohio State's chances don't look good.
James Southerland, Syracuse
Southerland found his shooting touch during the Big East Tournament, and not so coincidentally, the Syracuse offense started to look good. At 6'8'', Southerland is a tough matchup on the perimeter, because he can shoot over defenders with ease. If Southerland gets hot from deep and starts making shots the Orange are nearly impossible to beat. However, if Southerland goes cold, the Syracuse offense isn't good enough to win a national championship, as their stingy defense can only take them so far.
