UConn rolled Miami in the Final Four on Saturday night, defeating the Hurricanes in a wire-to-wire victory to earn a spot in the national championship game. The Huskies did so even though Jordan Hawkins, one of the team’s best players, was dealing with an illness.
After the game, Hawkins admitted that he believes he had food poisoning from a dinner earlier in the week while in Houston. The sophomore guard isn’t exactly sure what caused the illness, but he does have a hunch.
“I had a steak, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, [and] calamari. That’s why I think it had to be the calamari,” he said. “I love calamari too, I don’t think I’m ever eating it again.”
