Hass helped lead the Pointers to a 5-0 record over the past two weeks. He was named the Tournament MVP in the D3Hoops.com Classic for his role in wins against Whitworth University (Wash.) and Whitman College (Wash.). In the opening contest in Las Vegas, Nev., he shot 50 percent from the field (8-for-16) and finished with 21 points.Â
The following night against Whitman, he tied a school record with 40 points on 15-for-25 shooting and also grabbed four rebounds, had two steals and handed out four assists. Hass had another strong performance, scoring 20 points on 8-for-11 from the field, as UW-Stevens Point topped North Central College (Ill.) on the road on Dec. 31.
Hass was counted on in each of the five contests to take on a tough defensive challenge in addition to his offensive performance. Over the five games, Hass averaged 21.8 points and 3.6 rebounds per game and shot 56.5 percent from the field.
The senior is the fourth-leading scorer in the WIAC, averaging 19.2 points per game this season. He also ranks fourth in field-goal percentage (.579), ninth in steals (1.17 spg), fifth in three-point field-goal percentage (.520), first in threes made per game (3.25) and second in minutes per game (33.75).
