Fareed Shittu rewrote the @unbc record books this year, setting new @UNBCBasketball freshman marks for points, rebounds, blocks, AND steals! He also sat TOP 5 overall in @CanadaWest in rebounding and blocks, and now, he's a member of the CW All-Rookie Team! Congrats, Fareed! pic.twitter.com/r8s9g1MnEV
