Jeremy Lamb Takes Flight

If this dunk is any indication of what kind of year Jeremy Lamb is going to have at UConn, college hoops fans are in for some special times.

Lamb on Friday went off for a career-high 30 points on 11 of 17 shooting, including 5 of 8 from deep, in UConn’s 70-57 win over Columbia.

“I’m not trying to be Kemba,” he said. “This is a different team. This is a whole new team. I think I have to score a little more, but like I said there are a lot of weapons.”
