NYT article - Huskies Forge Lasting Bonds

[BRS24]

During the final timeout of Sunday’s East Regional final, after Giffey had made the first of two free throws to give Connecticut a 59-51 lead with six seconds remaining, Ryan Boatright, a 6-foot guard from Aurora, Ill., sought out the 6-8 Tolksdorf and jumped into his arms to celebrate.

The Huskies have affectionately given Tolksdorf the nickname Schnitzel, a meal he has served for his Jamaican and African teammates, who in return have treated him to dishes of plantains and yams.

Great behind the scenes story. It didn't go into too much depth on Shabazz's sophomore year but the outline makes a lot of sense & connects some of the old dots.

I'll take the plantains, if you've ever traveled to Caribbean area and had them there its basically desert for breakfast but you can pretend its healthy.

Thank you, Dr. Carr. The fruits of your labor are very evident.
