CONGRATS Shabazz!!! Well deserved!!

 

[Rico444]

He certainly deserved it. Wouldn't have been angry if Russ Smith or Sean Kilpatrick won, but I'm glad it's our guy.

 

[Dove]

Nice!!

 

[aboogieee]

Get the *gasp* outta here!

I guess we over reacted to one bad game. He dominated most of the games we won in all around play. Also, most coaches realize that Bazz is our team. If he wasn't playing, we weren't winning....

As I've been saying,I couldn't figure out why people put such emphasis on one game!

I think this is reverse mojo, since our stars usually get snubbed.

Agreed. No bueno.

That's a pleasant surprise!

Let's get reverse mojo going, then.

New coach, new conference, new mojo?

 

[James]

What a career

 

[Senore]

Congratulations to Bazz!! It is well-deserved and hard-earned.

Not sure I have ever been happier for one player. Shabazz deserves every accolade he receives. One day we will look back at UConn basketball history and realize what an important bridge he was by sticking it out. Thanks Bazz!

Congrats to Shabazz for a great year and a wonderful career at UConn (still not finished!!)

Richard Hamilton won conference POY in 1999.
Emeka Okafor won conference POY in 2004.
Kemba Walker...oh, jesus. Fv¢king Hansborough.

But whatever. We won all sorts of conference awards on our way to winning things. 2011-2013 be damned.

 

[art4life]

Awesome!
Congrats Shabazz!!!

 

[superjohn]

Wow, I'll eat some major crow here. I didn't think he had much of a chance but I'm very happy he won it.

 

[aceboon]

very happy for him, after last year and the media blackout he had to endure I'm glad to see him being recognized this year.

 

[Jerry1714]

Awesome. He deserved it.

 

[huskyhaven]

Geesh, I wanted it to be a surprise when I'm watching the awards being given out.

 

[caw]

Any of the three could have been chosen, but good for Napier, he deserves it.

 

[GlastonTim]

Way to go Bazz!
