James Bouknight made a big statement in the Charleston Classic, playing his first three games as a UConn Husky. Bouknight’s 40 points, 13 rebounds and three steals in just 55 minutes of action were good enough to earn him a spot in the tournament’s All-Classic team and AAC Freshman of the Week honors.
The Brooklyn native came off the bench to help UConn tally impressive wins over Buffalo, and Miami, and he had a team-high 19 points to help the Huskies force two overtimes against ranked Xavier, including the tying points on a three-point play in the first overtime.
