Huskies’ Backcourt Takes Another Hit: Connecticut junior point guard Marcus Williams joined teammate A.J. Price as the Huskies’ latest members of the Huskies’ backcourt to find legal trouble. Police arrested Williams and charged him with four counts of third-degree larceny. According to police reports, Williams tried to sell four laptop computers at a pawnshop, whose employees recognized Williams when he entered their store. The computers had been found in Price’s dorm room, and the sophomore point guard denied initially denied knowing of their presence, despite evidence that demonstrated he also tried to sell them.
Williams and Price figure to be the top two players on the Huskies’ depth chart at point guard. Fellow guard Antonio Kellogg was kicked off the team earlier this year after he was arrested for marijuana possession and assaulting a police officer.
