Jared, that was a special performance,” . “I’ve been lucky for my 15 years, but especially as a coach for 11, to see a lot of special performances by any player. But especially a freshman. That’s right up there.”

Not only did he have 35, but it was in critical moments,”

“At the beginning of the game, I didn’t think we came out with the right defensive mentality at first. He steadied us with a scoring. Then to close the half, he had a couple of big threes as well. Then that moment in the second half, two free throws and that 3. That was a critical moment.
