Napier returns, Calhoun out
UConn junior Shabazz Napier will be in the starting lineup today for the season finale against Providence.
Napier, the team's leading scorer, has been sidelined the last two games with a right foot injury. He hasn't practiced since last week.
Freshman Omar Calhoun (sore right wrist) will sit out today's game. He's struggled in the last two games, converting just 2-of-21 field goal attempts.
The starting lineup looks like this: Napier, Ryan Boatright, R.J. Evans, DeAndre Daniels and Phil Nolan.
It is Nolan's first career start. A 6-foot-9 freshman forward, he's replacing injured Tyler Olander in the starting lineup.
Olander is on crutches. He's expected to have surgery on his left foot in a couple of weeks. He'll need about six to eight weeks of rehab after that.
More later after the game.
