Message: [QUOTE="dantheman, post: 2993119, member: 9090"] I have been as hard on Jalen as any at times, mainly because of the flashes hes shown and the talent he had demonstrated coming in. That being said, he showed leadership in spades yesterday night, and if we are going to constantly harp on the negative, this deserves some recognition. As soon as he fouled out with a ton of time left, Jalen didnt pout or sulk to the end of the bench like I expected. He gathered the gaurds together and was firing them up. He got into alteriques ear. He went up and down team line clapping and yelling and getting them pumped up. Jalen took a letdown moment that I expected to be the knife going into the tires of UConn’s comeback, and set the tone that he believed and expected this team to pick him up. This is the leadership this team has needed from within it’s roster, and which before yesterday, I thought it was devoid of. [/QUOTE]
