NCAA Tells Adrien To Take a Seat: Connecticut appealed the one-game suspension of freshman forward Jeff Adrien, but the NCAA upheld the suspension for fighting. Adrien and St. John’s forward Aaron Spears went toe to toe during the Huskies’ win last night, and tempers erupted in the second half. Officials ejected both players, and by NCAA rule, they must sit out the next game. The Huskies will miss Adrien when they play at Providence on Saturday. As one of Connecticut’s primary bench players, Adrien averages seven points and 4.9 rebounds per game. [1/26/06]
