Waterloo Warriors Hall of Fame
When you talk about the early 2000's and the men's basketball program, it's hard not to mention the name Mike Sovran (BA '05). Sovran put the Warriors on the map to begin the 21st century with his incredible basketball IQ and scoring ability. Sovran was named an OUA west all-rookie following his first season in 2001 as well as an OUA west second-team all-star in 2004 and 2005. Sovran was also named the team MVP of men's basketball in 2003 and 2004 and MVP of the Naismith Classic Basketball Tournament in 2005.
Sovran quickly emerged as a leader of the program, being named the team captain in only his second season, a title he wore for the remainder of his career. His competitiveness and intelligence on the court made everyone around him better and he will forever be one of the all-time best to have played for the men's basketball program.
Sovran finished with 1,098 career points which is the fifth most in men's basketball history, and second most rebounds with 617. He also sits fourth all-time in 3-pointers (144), assists (219), blocks (62), and steals (115).
