Two days after moving up one spot in the national rankings, No. 23 UConn put together another blowout win over an inferior opponent, this time dispatching the LIU Sharks 93-40. According to Vegas books and KenPom, the Huskies were 24 point favorites at tip-off, and UConn (3-0) seemed to take offense to that.
Andre Jackson was the best player on the floor for much of the contest, showing off all facets of his versatile game with electric dunks, monster blocks, and hard-fought boards. He finished with a complete line of 14 points, five rebounds, two steals, and three blocks Jackson shot 5-7 from the floor and also hit two three pointers, both in the first half, which was a welcome sight for the UConn faithful, as Jackson had gone 2-18 from downtown in his career coming into tonight.
