A few items as Michigan State tried to hold of Louisville.
– UConn C Hasheem Thabeet’s left ring finger is bruised and he has a slight sprain of the ring and middle fingers on the same hand. The 7-foot-3 junior suffered the injury in the Huskies’ win over Missouri Saturday.
UConn expects Thabeet to practice as usual with his teammates Monday and doesn’t expect the center “to be limited at all.”
Thabeet said after Saturday’s game that he would be “fine” when the Final Four begins.
– The Huskies left Phoenix right after Saturday’s game and arrived back in Connecticut around 4 a.m.
The team met briefly Sunday but did not practice. They’ll return to practice Monday afternoon.
