Not everybody gets to accomplish even one remarkable feat in their college basketball careers, but last week Harvard senior Dan Clemente won even more individual awards to put in his already well-stocked trophy case.
He earned a first-team spot on the National Association of Basketball Coaches District I team and was named College Hoops Insider's co-Ivy Player of the Year.
Earlier this year, Basketball News selected Clemente as a pre-season Ivy All-Star.
He was First Team All-Ivy last season as well, despite missing 11 games with a detached retina. And in the previous year, he garnered Honorable Mention from the league with a hobbled ankle.
All that was on top of the accolades he garnered his freshman year, when he burst on to the scene as the Ivy League's Rookie of the Year after a celebrated high school career.
This past weekend, Clemente finished his career fourth in all-time scoring at Harvard along with the record for most three-pointers. When he graduates in the spring, he'll be playing professional ball somewhere overseas.
But Daniel K. Clemente, this season's star forward and captain for the Harvard Men's basketball team, is neither happy nor satisfied.
"The one thing I wanted to do when I came here was win the Ivy League championship, so I can't say it's true I've accomplished what I wanted to," Clemente says. "That's something that's incredibly disappointing to me and I haven't come to terms with it yet."
