Hassan Diarra returns to UConn Men’s Basketball
STORRS, Conn. — A key piece of the 2024 UConn Men’s Basketball national championship team announced on Tuesday evening that he will return to Storrs for one more season. Hassan Diarra, a 6-foot-2 guard from Queens, N.Y., will exercise his fifth and final year of eligibility to remain a member of the Huskies for the 2024-2025 season and pursue a three-peat.
UConn Boxing Club brings home national champions
When you mention "national champions" and "UConn," your mind likely goes to the men's and women's basketball teams. But, across campus, there’s another group of athletes bringing national champions to Storrs. “They had a club here that didn't compete,” Mike Campisano said when asked about how the UConn Boxing...
UConn men’s basketball walk-on, Bristol native Andre Johnson Jr. enters transfer portal
Sophomore Andre Johnson Jr. shot his shot near the end of UConn’s win over Northwestern in the second round of the 2024 NCAA Tournament. And he made the garbage-time 3-point attempt, extending the lead to 19 with 30 seconds left. The bench was thrilled for the walk-on from Bristol, who hadn’t scored in his two seasons with the Huskies. Dan Hurley wasn’t – Northwestern head coach Chris Collins ...
Stratton’s Stand: A final stand from the land of steady habits
It’s honestly hard to believe that I’m sitting here writing this. Just like that, my time at The Daily Campus is over. Apologies for the cliché, but it feels like just yesterday was the day after high school graduation and I was sending former Associate Sports Editor Jon Synott an Instagram direct message, asking him how to get involved in DC Sports. A universal experience, I know. Now, over 300 articles later, I’m drafting my final piece.
Senior Issue: Thank you UConn Nation
Well, that ended more quickly than expected. I’m not going to lie to you at all. When I first stepped on campus as a young freshman, I really didn’t know what to expect or where things would go. Everything was closed, classes were virtual and, worst of all, no University of Connecticut sports. That’s not exactly the formula for a great college career, especially for someone who wants to have a career in sports. On top of all of that, I wasn’t the massive UConn basketball historian like my peers, so I had to get in the lab and really lock in on some Husky history from the very beginning.
The Final Coleumn: It is okay to not be perfect; Cole Stefan’s self-reflection and sentimental farewell
Allow me, Cole Patrick Stefan, to take you on an intense journey back in time. You might want to buckle up. There were no live sports going on at the University of Connecticut because of the COVID-19 pandemic back in the fall of 2020. Each of the professional sports leagues was in action at the time, whether in their regular season or the playoffs. Unlike most years during which there are collegiate athletics to cover from the first day of the fall semester. However, things just felt different.
Senior Column: Chris Charbonneau
It feels strange to write these words. This is my last article for The Daily Campus, and it was an experience that I will cherish forever. When I was approached to write a weekly column for the student newspaper, I was hesitant because of my full course workload. However, I’m glad that I took up the opportunity to cover the University of Connecticut men’s golf team last fall.
