TL;DR Summary

UConn's junior wing Andre Jackson Jr. has become a deadly weapon for the Huskies, despite being targeted by opposing teams with a defensive strategy called "dorking." Instead of settling for jumpers, Jackson has become a maestro at cutting to the basket, using dribble handoffs, and finding open shooters. He has been one of the most efficient players in the NCAA Tournament, racking up 31 assists and with only six turnovers. UConn is scoring 1.22 points per possession in four tourney games with Jackson on the floor, a higher efficiency than any offense in college basketball this season.
