Gotta be one of the smallest players in Div 1 and also the biggest heart. This also proves he's one of the

Congrats RB. He has been carrying us this year. I'm sure if we won more he would be nominated almost every week.

Heart of a champion. Really hope we give the Boatshow 1 more shot at the tourney.

Also, he'll be front row at the women's game tonight:

Another example of a great UCONN basketball player that is also a nice person, I swear my little cousins have taken 20 pictures with him the last 4 years...

Congrats Ryan for his weeks award, his career thus far and his character.

Does he have a shot at AAC player of the year? I know it normally goes to someone on a top team but I'm coming up short on obvious candidates. At least first team.

Just saw a shot of DHam and Purvis in the student section (vs. South Carolina). Haven't spotted Boat yet.

I think he has a great shot if he continues playing at his current level and we finish with a somewhat decent record. I would say first team is almost a lock at this point.

UConn finished in a 3 way tie for 3rd last season seeded 4th for the conference tournament with 6 losses and Shabazz won POY so I don't see that as a factor. IMO it comes down to him and Nic Moore from SMU.

Boat had a slow first half a couple of games ago and was blasted at halftime by Seth Davis I think. He then went off in the second half. He tries to get production from his teammates as he should first.
