UConn player's food poisoning claims disputed by Houston steakhouse and former coach.

UConn basketball player Jordan Hawkins claimed he suffered from food poisoning after eating calamari at Mastro's Steakhouse in Houston before the NCAA semifinals against Miami. The restaurant denied the allegation, stating that they sold nearly 100 orders of calamari with no complaints. The team had ordered 13 orders of calamari on Thursday and three more on Sunday for delivery. The restaurant also questioned whether Hawkins had COVID-19 or had been tested after his symptoms began. Despite the accusation, UConn went on to win the NCAA championship.

UConn basketball team rallies despite illness and setbacks.

UConn basketball player Jordan Hawkins blamed calamari for his food poisoning during the Final Four weekend, but Mastro's Steakhouse, where the team dined, pushed back, saying they sold nearly 100 orders of calamari with zero calls about illness. Food poisoning is a problematic concept, and it is difficult to pinpoint the source of digestive distress. Food items from across the world are constantly being blamed for athletes' personal hardships. Despite the incident, UConn won the championship, and the team ordered eight more orders of fried calamari the night before the game.
