Big East Player of the Week: Luke Harangody
3rd Mar 2008
Luke Harangody was named Big East Player of the Week today for the third time this season. This was by far his most impressive week with the 40 point game. He averaged 32.0 points in the loss to Louisville and win over DePaul while shooting an impressive 58.7%. His 40 points against the Cardinals is the highest on the season for any Big East player and was incredible to watch. Luke also averaged 10.5 rebounds in the two games and leads the Big East in that category for conference games. He’s averaging 23.6 points and 11.8 boards in Big East games while 21.1 and 10.5 in all contests.
It’s pretty safe to say that Harangody has locked up the race for Big East Player of the Year. He is only a sophomore and can score 20+ points against anyone while being undersized. The 6′8″, 250 pound forward has dominated seven-footers and has recently discovered a jump shot. He has been making some long range jump shots and even hit his first three pointers of his career. I’m not saying he should take those shots often, but if they are there, Luke can hit them. He has a very bright future and I hope that he will stay all four years under Mike Brey.

A bit of chatter he may go pro after Junior year

Well if he keeps playing this well, I wouldn’t be surprised. Next year is their best chance at making far in the NCAA tournament.
Chris Thomas made the mistake of coming back for a senior season and has been forced to play in Europe instead of the NBA. He was pretty darn good.
