Message: [QUOTE="Hi-Low, post: 4464019, member: 2265"] espn has good guys #1 in power rankings & Clingan as player of the week...so we got that going for us [B]1.

The 6-foot-6 guard is averaging a career high in assists this season while taking care of the ball better than ever in his three-year college career. Since moving back into UConn's starting lineup three games ago, Jackson is averaging 9.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.7 assists -- and hasn't committed a single turnover. He is a primary reason the Huskies have assists on an eye-opening 63.7% of their field goals.[/I] [HEADING=1][SIZE=5]Player of the Week: [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/5105565/donovan-clingan']Donovan Clingan[/URL], [/SIZE][URL='https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/41/uconn-huskies'][SIZE=5]UConn Huskies[/SIZE][/URL][/HEADING] [I]This was a difficult week to single out a player.

But Clingan had one of the most analytically impressive weeks we've seen this season, and it's unlikely to be repeated by anyone over the next few months. He played just 34 minutes total in two wins over Florida and [URL='https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/112358/long-island-university-sharks']LIU[/URL], averaging 18.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks while shooting a ridiculous 18-for-19 from the field. He didn't miss any of his 10 shots in UConn's win over the Sharks on Saturday, finishing with 21 points and 11 rebounds in just 15 minutes. The 7-foot-2 freshman from Bristol, Connecticut, is off to a much stronger start than many expected, providing a dominant backup option behind star big man [URL='https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4702023/adama-sanogo']Adama Sanogo[/URL].[/I] [/QUOTE]
