andre jackson is THE most important player on the team

This is definitely true but not probably for the versatility that most people probably think about - and I can't believe I'm saying this after watching his freshman season - he is by far the best option we have in pressure situations handling the ball and that is our biggest weakness.

So when the pressure ratchets up, we need to get Andre in the ball-handling position, let him break down his defender or initiate the offense and move Tristan off-ball.

Thank you Andre!

That was a winning play. He had no right to that rebound and just took it. His motor never shuts off - sometimes it leads to him retaliating and getting a tech in a rough spot - and that’s generally a positive.

and he did that with UConn up by 23. Usually players won't make that play unless it's a high leverage play with the game close.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but…

Do you remember late January when 90% of the board was saying we will never win games playing 4 vs 5 on offense? Now we have this post.

We’ve come a long way boys and girls - with our game, definitely not our maturity level.
