January 25, 2008 2 UConn basketball players suspended

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - UConn men's basketball coach Jim Calhoun has suspended guards Jerome Dyson and Doug Wiggins indefinitely for breaking team rules.

The nature of the allegations and which rules were broken were not announced.

The suspensions come as the Huskies prepare to take on seventh-ranked Indiana tomorrow in Indiana. Dyson and Wiggins, both sophomores, did not travel with the team.

Calhoun says he's not happy with the suspensions, but he felt they were in the best interests of the team and the university. He says neither player was arrested and the discipline was not related to their grades.

Dyson is the team's second-leading scorer, averaging 14 points a game. He has started all 18 games this season for the 13-5 Huskies.

Wiggins has come off the bench in all 18 games, averaging nearly seven points.
