The 2007-2008 Big East Player of the year award goes to Luke Harangody. I really was not that surprised to learn this, I mean come on people have been saying for the last month or so now, but it is still really exciting.
Harangody finished Big East play averaging 23.3 points and over a 11 rebounds per game. He is just the second player in Big East history to lead the league in scoring and rebounding. He had 3 in conference 30 or more point performances, including a 40 point game in a losing effort to Louisville.
You cannot just look at Harangody's stats though. You have to have seen him play. He is always giving a 100% the whole time. Half his points and rebounds come from hustle points. He sprints down the court before the defense and scores on countless occasions. I can't even remember how many times I have seen Harangody grab defensive rebound, outlet it, sprint down the court, get the offensive rebound, and put it back up to score.
When you look at Harangody's stats and his hustle there is no way you can say that someone else deserves this award more than he does.
