Hurley Blasts Demary Jr.’s Bob Cousy Snub as UConn Moves to 22–1

Hurley says the point guard’s two-way leadership on a top-ranked, 12–0 Big East team warrants a spot on the midseason list.

Overview

  • The Naismith Hall of Fame’s midseason Bob Cousy Award watch list did not include UConn guard Silas Demary Jr.
  • After a 92–60 win over Xavier, Dan Hurley called the omission “total” expletive and cited Demary’s high level of play and NBA interest.
  • UConn improved to 22–1 and 12–0 in the Big East, with Demary posting 17 points and eight assists to lead the rout.
  • Demary is averaging 10.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.7 steals, leads the Big East in assists, and ranks No. 7 in EvanMiya’s BPR while shooting 56.8% from three in league play.
  • Demary said he is unconcerned with the snub and focused on a national title push, and no update to the midseason list has been reported.
