Bouknight is becoming the guy

[UConnSwag11]

Looks much more confident with the ball and getting his own shot. He’s very good at adjust his shot in midair. His defense is not very good Yet, but I’ll take the offense at this point

I noticed that Bouk stopped deferring (probably thanks to Tulsa performance) to Adams, Vital and AG. He wanted the ball, was ignoring Vital (in a good way) and was going to make sure we weren't going to lose. The light bulb is turned on and bright.

He's doing this against Juniors and Seniors. He has figured out D1 ball, and knows he belongs.

He's no longer a freshman, that is now evident.

Forget "becoming", he is THE guy

Bouk is the real deal. Kid is growing up on the court and showing game. It's been great to see. If he's not out of his shell already, I would hate to see what he'll turn into once he does!

Adams also came alive again today in a big game. Good to see.

Bc he was able to just catch and shoot

I still can’t get over that vital three up one and that bouknight didn’t drive to the lane

 

[UconnU]

Interesting that down the stretch Hurley had AG and JG on the bench, opted played Bouk at point. Probably because of the matchup but interesting none the less. Haven’t seen that much.

I agree 110%. He needs to play to his strengths. He is not a good creator for his own shot

That floater/one handed jumper/whatever it was in the lane was just money.

Remember that play were Vital drove, got stuffed (no call) and Bouk got the ball and he also drove and drew the foul? Made both shots. It was like he was showing Vital how its done.

To me that was the moment of 'best player' transfer.

Down 2 with 30 seconds left, he goes iso and drains a jumper to tie the game. You don't see freshmen do that kind of stuff.

Please stop. Showing Vital how it’s done? He’s just a more talented player. Let’s just enjoy a hard fought team win.

Cumberland is listed at 6’5, Bouk is listed at 6’4 but it appeared as if Bouk had at least an inch on him.

Vital’s defense was instrumental in that victory. He brings the grit every game. Enjoy what Bouknight can do for us going forward but don’t take a shot at a 4th year senior who has been our backbone all year.

Bouk calls himself 6'5. And is young enough to have grown since September measurement. Wouldn't be surprised if he's listed 6'5 next year.

 

[cohenzone]

Bouknight is so talented. But Vital had a big rebound hoop and the last defensive stop. He knows how to play.

 

[RF79]

He’s growing up with the injured Polley opportunity. Boy… we do need him

 

[AZHuskiePop]

Bouknight is great and hitting 3’s is a game changer.
Still waiting on Akok‘s shot to make this a great team .
Adams is probably the most Jekyll and Hyde player in recent memory.. He is a needed spark off the bench when his shot is falling.

 

[minidarren]

No doubt. Kids a stud.

 

[formerlurker]

He has amazing handles. At least 5-6 times today where I marveled at his ability to maintain control of the ball while attacking.
