Mor is certainly not less for the University of Hawai’i men’s basketball team. Especially heading down the home stretch of the brutal 20-game Big West Conference regular season, with the league’s postseason tournament immediately to follow.
So just in the nick of time, 7-foot-1 freshman Mor Seck and fellow rookie Harry Rouhliadeff, a 6-9 forward, stepped up last Saturday night and provided surprising but much-needed low post support after 6-9 starting center Bernardo da Silva was scratched that morning due to a sprained ankle.
Seck responded with career highs of 14 points and 16 rebounds, to go along with four blocks in 29 minutes played — by far the most action he has seen in a single game this season.
