Napier also had 6 assists and 4 steals for UConn and DeAndre Daniels had a team-high 6 rebounds.

The Knights did manage to cut UConn’s lead to 57-49 with 7:20 to go, but the Huskies quickly went on an 8-2 run and coasted to the 20-point victory.

A Look At Temple One month ago, UConn and Temple renewed a series that had been dormant for 49 years as the Huskies captured a 90-66 decision at the XL Center in an American Athletic Conference game. The win hiked UConn’s record against Temple to 5-3 overall. The Huskies are 0-2 against Temple in Philadelphia, but tonight’s game will be their first visit to the Liacouras Center. Temple is 7-17 overall, 2-10 in the AAC, and is coming off a 71-64 upset of then-No. 23 SMU on Sunday. The Owls are 3-8 at home, 2-4 in AAC home games. Since losing at UConn, Temple has gone 2-5. Leading the Owls is senior guard Dalton Pepper, one of the top scorers (18.2 in league) and three-point threats in the
AAC. Junior Will Cummings (16.2 ppg, 4.4 assists) and soph Quenton DeCosey (14.8 ppg) complete the starting backcourt. Soph Devontae Watson mans one forward spot, usually with prolific rebounder (8.9) Anthony Lee at the other, but a knee injury forced Lee out of last game and freshman Mark Williams was the starter. Temple averages 69.1 ppg in the AAC, but allows opponents to score 78.3.

led in scoring and assists and was second in rebounding.
MR. CLUTCH ... AGAIN: senior Shabazz Napier added another chapter to a career filled withclutch performances with a buzzer-beating 15-foot jumper that lifted UConn over #15/13 Florida, 65-64, before a sellout crowd (10,167) at Gampel Pavilion on Dec. 2. Napier, who had 26 points (5 three-pointers), 4 rebounds, and 3 steals in the game, completed a four-point play that put UConn ahead, 63-62, with 34 seconds left, but Florida took back the lead, 64-63, on a Michael Frazier layup with 0:18 to go. With the clock winding down, Napier took an off-balance shot that missed, but teammate DeAndre Daniels tipped the rebound back to Napier, who caught and shot the ball in one motion, just beating the finalhorn.Danielshad14pointsand 7 rebounds as the Huskies’ record went to 8-0.
DOUBLE TRIPLE-DOUBLE: Senior Shabazz Napier added to the UConn record book on Nov. 11 when he became the only UConn player to ever record a second triple double in his ca-reer, scoring 14 points, grabbing 11 rebounds, and handing out
10 assists to lead the Huskies past Yale, 80-62. Napier’s previ-ous triple double came during his sophomore season, on Nov. 20, 2011, when he had 22 points, 12 rebounds, and 13 assists against Coppin State. Napier owns two of the 10 triple doubles in UConn history. He and UCF’s Isaiah Sykes are the only two current players in the country to have two triple-doubles during their careers.

The elder Cas-sell was teammates with UConn head coach Kevin Ollie on the 2002-03 Milwaukee Bucks. Hamilton, a 6-7 guard/forward from Los Angeles, also has family ties to the NBA with older brother Jordan currently playing for the Denver Nuggets.“I’mverypleasedandexcitedtohavethesetwoyoungmen joiningourbasketball program,”Ollie said. “Theyareexcellent players and more importantly, high-character peo-ple. I expect both Sam and Daniel to do great things at the UniversityofConnecticut.” Cassell is currently attending Chipola College in Marianna, Fla., for the second year. He redshirted last season but is on the roster this season. He will have three years of eligibility at UConn after enrolling next fall. “Samisjustanoutstandingguardwhocandoanumberofdifferent thingson thebasketball court,”Ollie said. “Hebrings a level of maturity after two years in junior college. He’ll be a great addition to our team, especially with his ex-perience.” Hamilton is a senior at St. John Bosco High in Los Angeles.

Kevin OLLIEHead Coach
2nd Year as HC; 4th year at UConnIn just his second season as the
head basketball coach at the Uni-versity of Connecticut and only his fourth year in the profession since retiring from the NBA, Kevin Ollie has already established himself as one of the rising young coaching stars in the college game.
Ollie accepted a huge responsi-bility on Sept. 13, 2012, when he was named the 18th head coach in the history of UConn men’s basketball, replacing legendary Hall of Fame coach Jim Calhoun.
By the end of the 2012-13 sea-son, however, it was evident that Ollie was more than ready to meet the challenge.
With only two seasons of coach-ing experience after joining Calhoun’s staff as an assistant in 2010-2011, Ollie quickly embraced the opportu-nity to lead the storied UConn pro-gram.
Despite a roster depleted by transfers and early NBA entrants, and a team that was ineligible for any postseason play due to academ-ic shortcomings in years long past, Ollie guided the Huskies to a 20-vic-tory season, a feat no other UConn coach had ever accomplished in his firstyear.The Huskies finished 20-10, ex-
tending UConn’s streak of 20-win seasonstothreestraight,fiveinthelast six years, and 14 in the last 16 years, as well as extending its streak of winning seasons to 26 in a row. UConn posted a 10-8 mark in the difficultBigEastConference.Atsea-son’s end, Ollie’s efforts were recog-nized by Collegeinsider.com, which selected him to receive its Ben Jobe National Coach of the Year Award, given to the top Division I minority coach, who produced excellent re-sultsdespitedifficultoradversecon-ditions.
Ollie raised eyebrows with the
season’s very first game, upsetting14th-ranked Michigan State, 66-62, in the Armed Forces Classic at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany. The season also included victories over ranked teams Notre Dame and Syra-cuse, and five wins in overtime, aschool record.
On Dec. 29, 2012, less than a dozen games into his first season ashead coach, Ol-lie was awarded a new contract that will run through at least the 2017-18 season.
Ollie’s UConn history --- which began in the fall of 1991 when he re-
ported to school as a freshman from Los Angeles, continued through four successful seasons, including two as a Husky team captain, and resumed when he returned to join Calhoun’s coaching staff following a 13-year NBA career --- has come full circle. He may have only served two sea-sons as an assistant on Calhoun’s staff, but possesses a wealth of basketball knowledge after learning fromsomeofthefinestteacherstoever coach the game, including Cal-houn, Chuck Daly, Larry Brown, and George Karl. “After13years in theNBA,Kev-
in’sgotaPhDinbasketball,”Calhounsaid as he passed the torch to his former point guard. “He’s a greatbasketball man and an even better person.I’mveryproudofhim.”
The reins to the Huskies could not have been handed to anyone who wanted them more than Ollie. “Thisismydreamjob.Iwasmade
forthisjob,”Olliesaidonthedayhewashired.“UConnisaspecial,spe-cial place and I wouldn’t want to be anywhereelsebutrighthere.”
Ollie made that same decision about UConn more than 20 years ago, coming out of Crenshaw High School in Los Angeles. Playing on someofCalhoun’sfinestteamsdur-

UConn All-TimeHead Coaches
ing the mid-1990s, Ollie was a four-year starting point guard and a two-time cap-tain.
He played in 124 games for the Hus-kies, averaging 6.7 points and 5.0 as-sists. A third team All-Big East pick, his 619 assist total still ranks third on UConn’s all-time list. He graduated in 1995 with a degree in Communications.
But Ollie was far more concerned with team statistics than individual ones. During his four-year UConn career, the Huskies had a record of 92-33, 51-21 in the Big East Conference and made three NCAA Tournament appearances. During Ollie’s last two seasons, when he served as a team captain, UConn’s record was 57-10 overall and a dazzling 32-4 in the Big East, capturing two Big East regular-season championships, and reaching the NCAA Sweet 16 and Elite Eight, re-spectively.
Yet it was after his UConn career that Ollie was most impressive, display-ing unmatched perseverance, intestinal fortitude, and a never-say- die attitude as he fought his way through years in the Continental Basketball Association and the U.S. Basketball League to get his chance in the NBA.
Once there, Ollie would simply not give up his dream, signing a series of 10-day and one-year contracts, dealing
with trades and frustrating roster cuts. “One time, I was cut on Christmas
Eve,”saidOllie.“WhataChristmaspres-entthatwas.”
Yet Ollie would not be deterred, earn-ing a reputation throughout the league as an outstanding teammate, with strong moralfiber,impeccablecharacter,andavast knowledge of the game. His perse-verancefinallypaidoffwithamulti-yearcontract from the Cleveland Cavaliers, who also wanted Ollie to mentor a young LeBron James about acting as a profes-sional. Oklahoma City brought Ollie in to do the same for Kevin Durant. During a 13-year NBA career, Ollie played for 11 different franchises in 12 cities and learned from 15 different NBA coaches. It was apparent that Ollie would eventu-ally become a coach.
Ollie couldn’t have had a more suc-cessful debut season to his coaching career than in 2010-11, as he helped guard Kemba Walker produce one of the most spectacular individual seasons in UConn history in leading the Huskies to the program’s third national champion-ship. The 2011-12 season culminated in another NCAA appearance and another UConn guard, Jeremy Lamb, drafted as an NBA lottery selection. “KevinOllieepitomizeswhatwewant
a UConn athlete, a UConn student, to be
all about, and when you say that, that’s heavystuff,”Calhounsaid.“Anyfoxholeyou need to jump in, there’s your guy. Anytime you need a person who won’t quit,there’syourguy.”
Born in Dallas on Dec. 27, 1972, and raised in Los Angeles, Ollie resides in Glastonbury with wife Stephanie, who is also a UConn grad (1997), and their two children, son Jalen (born 6/22/96) and daughter Cheyanne (born 2/6/01).
“Kevin Ollie, he was a game-changer for us. He might not say it, but I think he changed the whole culture in Oklaho-ma City ... just his mind set, professionalism, every single day. And we all watched that, and we all wanted to be like that. It rubbed off on Rus-sell (Westbrook), myself, Jeff Green, James Harden. And then everybody who comes through now, it’s the stan-dard that you’ve got to live up to as a Thunder player. And that started with Kevin Ollie.”
