Top Players:
Rudy Gay, So,

Hilton
Armstrong, Sr, C, 10 ppg, 7 rpg
Rashad
Anderson, Sr, F, 13 ppg, 3 rpg
The Huskies are
loaded and nothing helps more than depth in March, except talent, but UConn
has plenty of that too. Rashad Anderson is one of the best sixth men in the
nation and his 14 points per game and three-point shooting ability will be a
huge spark off the bench all month long. Marcus Williams, after sitting out
the first half of the season, is heating up. The junior point guard
averages nearly nine assists per game and he won’t be wearing down anytime
soon.
