Kellogg suspended indefinitely, out for NCAA
UCONN will be hurt in the big dance with PG Kellogg suspended indefinitely, out for NCAA
HUB TAKE:
Coach Calhoun once again shows why his program is one of the most respected and upstanding programs in the Country. The discipline instilled in this program has resulted in 2 National titles in the last four years; In the short term, and at a most critical point in the season, the Huskies will be hurt by their code of ethics.
Guard depth has been the achilles heal of UCONN all season. Marcus Williams, although a solid floor general putting up gaudy assist numbers this season, is not the defensive stopper of point guards tournaments past. His decision making also appears to deteriorate under pressure. This fatal flaw will only be magnified on the big stage that is March Madess; subpar guard play on the defensive end, and to a lesser degree, shaky ball movement on offense, will prevent the Huskies from advancing beyond the sweet sixteen in 2005. -NF
