Yes it's New Haven, but a good confidence builder for all the players. Jaylin showed in this game that his game is growing. He added weight and strength over the summer, and he is playing with more focus and aggression. The talent is there, the athleticism always on tap, he just needs to continue to grow and mature as a player and person to reach his potential. It is starting to show. I did not think he disappeared in the Michigan State game, everything is not stats. He mixed it up on the interior with a very physical team, getting position, hunting rebounds, playing his role on offense, and carrying his weight as a bigger wing. In the New Haven game his progression is showing; he had several good drives to the basket, his handle is good, and he put up points, rebounded on both ends of the floor, and played mostly good D. His 3 ball shooting was off tonight, but I have always thought that that was not the best part of his game. Coming out of high school he played more like he did tonight, taking it to the rack, scoring on the inside, mid-range, and being physical. UConn Nation has waited two years for Jaylin Stewart to 'make the jump'. Well it's here, I think we will see him playing better and better as the season progresses.
I just read the boxscore, 11pts, 8bds, 1 turnover in probably 25 minutes.
