A day after leading his team to a 60-54 victory over Kentucky in the National Championship, UConn guard Shabazz Napier had his No. 13 added to the Huskies Wall of Honor. The usual custom is to wait four years for the distinction, but Connecticut made the exception (as they did three years ago with Kemba Walker) after Napier poured in 22 pts. last night to cap his career. In addition to winning his second national title as a member of the Huskies, Napier was a 2014 Consensus All-American who led the American Athletic Conference in points and led the NCAA in minutes.
