UConn guard Donnell Beverly suffered a sprained right knee in the Huskies’ loss to St. John’s Tuesday in the Big East Tournament. The junior was writhing in pain on the floor at Madison Square Garden for a moment in the second half.
Beverly was doing “much better” on Wednesday according to a UConn spokesman. There was no swelling in the knee and UConn’s medical staff is hopeful that Beverly can participate Saturday when the Huskies return to practice.
The Huskies will likely receive an invitation to play in the NIT Sunday night. And although coach Jim Calhoun promised some “reflection” after the painful loss to St. John’s the team will undoubtedly accept the bid and begin play in that tournament next week.

Why play in the NIT when they clearly quit on the season weeks ago?

I’m with Charley. I have no desire to see this team again this season.
