Why didn't he play more? With those stats he should have been playing more than 19 minutes.

Great to see - deserving young man!!

Too bad there's not a post-game interview clip.

CV - once a champion always a champion - one of my top 5 Huskies all-time - True Blue UConn Husky and a young man with class - loved revisiting with him after the Xavier game at Gampel in March

Agree all time great contribution to the program. Go CV

Loved CV single handily carried us for a bit and kept UConn fighting no matter the roster or game.

Congrats CV. You are the definition of heart!

He made two clutch FT’s to beat Cuse at MSG
as a freshman.
That alone makes him an immortal

Came off the bench all season - G League is a developmental league, so the lineups can be weird.

Plus, they scored like 130-something points - looked like an all-star game boxscore.

And who knows what he might have done post season 2020. The team was playing very well when things got shut down.

 

[Harhod]

CV was like a drunk at a bar. Never met a shot he didn't like.

Chief agrees a truly great Huskie. Had a great heart and character. What an outsider doesn’t see is how much he help Sidney Wilson after his mom’s death, through on court disappointment and a coaching change. Once CV graduated Sidney lost that critical nearby support and guidance.
