In our continuing effort to look forward to better days, we'll be bringing you one fun fact about the Cougar basketball team each day until the season officially tips off on Nov. 15. Some will be silly, some will be serious, but all will be vital to your knowledge as a Cougar basketball fan.

Did you know ...

... that while freshman Mike Harthun was listed by most recruiting services as a shooting guard, thanks to finishing his career second in school history in points scored (1,955), he actually also finished first in career assists (602)? 

It's not a stretch to imagine Harthun as Taylor Rochestie's primary back-up at the point.
