Message: [QUOTE="Ricker, post: 3405841, member: 1245"] I went. I got a ticket asking around in the parking lot. I saw. Now FWIW I'll report to the Boneyard. [U]Andre Jackson[/U] Jackson is the only major talent on his team and they lost by 11 at 9am to a Delaware team with a couple good players. I like Jackson, but let me influence your expectations by sharing the details of his game. In the first few minutes Jackson drove baseline, put up a 3 footer that missed badly, stayed with the play and had a tip attempt from the other side of the basket, but came away empty. A couple minutes later there was essentially an instant replay. 2 drives, 2 misses, 2 tips, 2 more misses. He made 2 foul shots, missed a three, airballed a 3 badly, then over a short span got rebounds twice, went the length of the court weaving through players, and threw the ball down with authority twice. He followed that up finishing an in bounds play alley-oop. He had 17 points in the game, 4 assists, 7 RBs, and 2 steals and shot 2 of 5 from deep. When he made 2 of three from deep in the second half he was unfortunately caught up in playing hero ball a la Vital. He shot from 6 feet behind the arc, less than 10 seconds into the possessions. The good news is that he did drain 2 for 5 and they were deep threes. All 4 of his assists came from penetration and dishing to the perimeter. Several entry passes to the post were only 50% successful. At the end he missed the front end of a one and one. He’s going to get the UConn crowd on it’s feet roaring with spectacular momentum building plays, interspersed with moments of what the … He and Bouknight are equals, physically, with play, and potential.
