Previous season

[edit]

The Huskies finished the 2011–12 season 20–14 overall, including 8–10 in Big East play. The Huskies, reigning champions of the2011 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament were eliminated in the first round of the2012 tournament to #8 seedIowa State.

Preseason developments

[edit]

After the 2011–12 season, the Huskies were barred from postseason play for 2012–13 due to several years of poorAcademic Progress Rate (APR) scores.^[2] They had already lost two scholarships for the 2011–12 season due to APR sanctions. As a result of the postseason ban, rising senior forwardAlex Oriakhi announced he would transfer toMissouri for his final season of eligibility. Under NCAA rules, he can play immediately at Missouri because Connecticut's postseason ban covers his entire remaining eligibility.^[3]

Two other players transferred. Redshirt freshman Michael Bradley initially planned to transfer toWestern Kentucky, but was denied immediate eligibility by the NCAA, and chose instead to transfer toVincennes, an Indiana junior college.^[4] Rising juniorRoscoe Smith was released from his scholarship^[5] and ultimately transferred toUNLV.^[6]
