Hassan Diarra Appreciation Post

[Colin G]

The perfect embodiment of what it means to be a husky. Stepped into the pure point guard role so seamlessly. Forever one of my favorite unsung heroes.

That's awesome. He rose up to big dawg mode.

Hass gutted out the last few weeks, hobbled, but still effective. Kinda wish he at least tried a heat check in last 10 minutes as he had a few open looks but passed instead - he was our best guy from beyond the arc last night.

This team has way too many nice guys as Hurley has said as much this year.

Need more guys w fight. I always tell my teams nice guys finish last on the field/court (not to be dirty at all, but can’t get pushed around)

Love Hass, A dawg and true Husky! forever a champ!

Hass has that dawg in him.

also, that moment showed that refs can actually blow the whistle quickly when they want to…

Haas has given his all for this program. His effort this season should put him in Huskies lore for the right reasons. The team, the program, the school all matter most to this kid, even if it means playing on one leg! He is the definition of a warrior. Last night highlighted that.

My favorite player on this team, and that play at the end certainly epitomized who he is.

Hass can still make 3’s. We haven’t seen much of that this year so that could be a huge thing in the tourney.

Take that L and let’s move onto the big one next

Gotta come ready to play every game.

Hass did not need to square up for me to appreciate him. Boy did I love seeing it.

It just went from one of my favorite players to my favorite player

The Diarra Brothers are etched in the history of UConn basketball. Beautiful story.

I was afraid for a minute he would get suspended for a game. Technically aside from being a jerk Neal broke no rule.

He stopped shooting

Why?

He stopped shooting

Why?

He missed that one in the lane, was a good shot, but he front rimmed it. I think he deferred after that, but obviously in hindsight, he should have kept shooting b/c Mac and AK were shooting and nothing was falling.
