I was hoping Alex would get Scholar-Athlete at the least. Has that been announced yet?

The kids I knew would wake up really early have a s---ton of liquid IV, and set alarms every few hours in the night to chug more water.

Makes sense, but I can't fathom running for an hour and not having any fluid...I've done 3-5 day fasts and nothing felt different for me

We need him back next year. On and off the court.

Don’t want to look ahead, but I will and say Hassan will be all big east next season

Haas is the heartbeat of the team.
A wise older warhorse..

Congrats to Hass for this great achievement! The transformation of his game from last to this year was exceptional! His hard work certainly paid off!

I remember reading a scouting report from his AAU coach when he transferred here.
He said something along the lines of, “you’re getting a junkyard dog who does all the little things well, plays ferocious defense, but makes a couple mistakes that you’re more than willing to deal with.”

We got all of that, and Hurley helped him remove the mistakes he made the first good chunk of last year.

Congrats Hass, kudos to you for putting in the work!

He is the definition of no nonsense, straightforward basketball. There's nothing flashy about him. Hard drilled Queens New York if I've ever seen it. Congralations Hass

One of the best surprises of the year. He was all we could hope for and more. Last 2 years have been transfer heaven for us. I don’t love the portal but it sure hasn’t hurt us.

Surprised at Ashworth for sportsman of the year. He seems like a pretty unlikeable guy, but I guess that’s just me. I guess this league really loves Creighton as 4 of their 5 starters took home hardware.

What makes Ashworth unlikeable?

Congrats! One of the best Huskies of all time.

How did Hass do it? His 1st pod ever tells the story. Mindset off the bench, impact with limited minutes, toughest opponents, how to play while fasting, life before UConn, and his most treasured NBA Super powers. Listen in.

I thought Cam was a shoo in for sportsman of the year! lol…

 

[HuskyHawk]

His improvement is one of the biggest factors in why this team has been so good. It's astonishing how much better he is shooting the ball, and that's nothing compared to his ability to finish at the rim. I don't even know where that came from. Hugely important player. So well deserved.

Headband Hass!!!!!
