Shabazz Napier Named Big East Player of the Week

A nice honor for the man who carried the UConn Huskies men's basketball team to a 3-0 week last week.

Here's the release from UConn:

STORRS, Conn. – University of Connecticut junior guard Shabazz Napier (Roxbury, Mass.) has been named BIG EAST Player of the Week on Monday, as announced by the BIG EAST Conference in Providence, R.I. Napier led the Huskies to a 3-0 week with 19.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.

UConn guard Shabazz Napier drives between Quinnipiac's Jamee Jackson, left, and Shaq Shannon during the first half. Napier has hit for double digits in all four games this season as the Huskies have started out 4-0 and jumped to No. 23 in the national rankings.

Napier most recently tallied a career-high 29 points in an 89-83 double-overtime victory over Quinnipiac in the semifinal of the Paradise Jam. UConn's junior captain shot 11-12 from the free-throw line to go with five rebounds and two steals.

He opened the week with 13 points and four rebounds in a 67-49 win over Vermont at Gampel Pavilion on Tuesday, November 13.

In the opener of the Paradise Jam on Friday, November 16 against Wake Forest, Napier tallied 16 points and four rebounds to lead UConn, 77-71. Napier was sensational from the charity strip against Wake Forest as well, going 9-11.

On the week, he shot 25-29 for 86.2-percent from the free-throw line.

On the season, Napier is averaging 20.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 88.6-percent from the line.

Video: UConn Survives Quinnipiac in Double OT 89-83

It's been since 1986 when the UConn Huskies men's basketball team last lost to an in-state team.

Since a 49-48 loss to the Hartford Hawks that year, which happened to be former coach Jim Calhoun's first year at the helm, the Huskies are 66-0 against teams from the state. Late on Sunday night in the 2012 Paradise Jam, they almost saw that streak come to an end.

UConn guard Shabazz Napier drives between Quinnipiac's Jamee Jackson, left, and Shaq Shannon during the first half. If it weren't for a Shabazz Napier three-pointer late in regulation, we'd be talking about a loss instead of a win.

Napier was huge in both overtimes as he made his free throws to help UConn hold off the Quinnipiac Bobcats 89-83 in double overtime at  the University of the Virgin Islands Sports and Fitness Center in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.

UConn improves to 4-0 on the season and will take on the New Mexico Lobos for the 2012 Paradise Jam title on Monday night at 10 p.m. Quinnipiac falls to 2-2 and will face the George Mason Patriots in the consolation game.

Napier finished with a career-high 29 points, 23 of them coming in the second half and both overtimes. Ryan Boatright added 18 points and four assists while Omar Calhoun had 17 points and five rebounds.

Tyler Olander led UConn with seven rebounds to go along with his five points before fouling out.

Dave Johnson paced the Bobcats with 16 points and had five rebounds and four assists. Garvey Young had 14 points while Jamee Jackson added 13 points and seven rebounds. Ike Azotam rounded out the Bobcats in double-digits with 10 points and he had a game-high nine rebounds.

2012 Blogpoll Top 25 – Week 12 Ballot

As many of you know, I am one of the voters in the BlogPoll Top 25. Each week, bloggers across the country representing the various FBS schools get together and put together their own top 25's.

Here at SOX & Dawgs, we are representing the UConn Huskies.

You can check out the ballot I submitted earlier today by clicking on the continue button below if you're on the homepage.


There's really no choice here in putting Notre Dame No. 1. I still will not put Ohio State in my poll since they are ineligible for the postseason.

It seems I've neglected putting the Texas Longhorns in my 25 the past few weeks. I've added them in this week where I thought they should be ranked.

Video: UConn Women Pass First Road Test, Aggies With Ease 81-50

We know the UConn Huskies women's basketball team may have a special year this season. But you don't really start learning about your team until you have your first road game.

Sure it's only two games in but the Huskies made sure to make a statement in College Station, TX on Sunday afternoon.

UConn center Stefanie Dolson takes a shot over Texas A&M forward Kristi Bellock (5) during the first half at the Reed Arena. Playing in front of a nationally televised audience on ESPN2, Stefanie Dolson tied her career-high with 24 points as UConn went on to an easy 81-50 win over the Texas A&M Aggies in front of 7,681 at Reed Arena.

The Huskies improve to 2-0 and are off to the Virgin Islands to play in the 2012 Women's Paradise Jam starting on Friday against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. The Aggies fall to 0-3.

Dolson ended up with a nice all-around game adding six rebounds, five assists and three blocked shots to her 24 point effort. Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis added 16 points, five rebounds and five assists while Breanna Stewart had 11 points and six rebounds.

Kelly Faris rounded out the Huskies in double-digits with 10 points and a team-high six assists. Kiah Stokes led the team with seven rebounds.

Courtney Walker was the only member of the Aggies to hit double figures with 20 points and also led them with seven rebounds. One time UConn recruit Kelsey Bone added eight points and was dominated by Dolson down low. Courtney Williams chipped in with seven points.
