Every BE player of the year....

Kinda cool to check out some of these names. We had a good run in the mid/late 90s.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Still laugh at Kemba not winning in 2011...

 

[REB1094]

Remember when PC went 10-10 and then Devin Carter won POY even though UConn went 18-2 and Tristen Newton was an AP All American? goooooooooooood times

Was just going to type "2011 was a weird year..."

and Newton was the Bob Cousy award winner for best PG in the nation.

I am glad he did not win it 2011. I think it set him off and motivated him with a controlled anger that set the table for his BET and NCAAT wins.

Interesting to think UConn has not had a BE POY since Hasheem Thabeet in the 2009 season.

Footnote: Shabazz Napier did win the AAC POY in 2014

Personally, I'd take Adama Sanogo over Kolek as well.

 

[Huskybass]

That Kemba ommission is crazy. He wasn't just the best player in the conference, he was the best player in the country.

 

[JB75]

Imagine ben hansborough got it over Kemba? And jimmer got it over kemba for national POY. Also some weird names I forgot about that did not remember winning it. Wesley Johnson and mamukelashaveli

 

[NJHusky]

Didn’t know that Mullin won it 3x… twice in a tie with Ewing. St. John’s was good back then

Yep, and Jimmer won NPOY over him as well. Another crazy vote.

 

[uconngb]

How bout Charles Smith back to back…..but different dudes!!

 

[Mike Honcho]

Kinda crazy Charles D. Smith and Charles E. Smith going back to back

I was just thinking about Shabazz too and forgot it was AAC

That was when I was a freshman at UConn. UConn was usually in the dreaded 8-9 game in those last few Perno years. Louie, JT, Boheim, PJ. Big East wars every game. Earl was our star. He could fill it up. Great memories.

 

[Get a Job]

Kinda crazy Charles D. Smith and Charles E. Smith going back to back

And Charles F. Smith juuust missed the following year

I agree with you but PC may have been DePaul (last year) levels of bad without Carter. His on/off was insane and the team was still bad/mediocre.

The most bizarre fever dream was when notre dame was a top program. We had a pretty decent rivalry with them.

I think I've seen one notre dame basketball game in the last decade.
