NEW YORK -- Touted freshman guard Braylon Mullins played 10 minutes in his debut for No. 5 UConn on Friday in its 74-61 win over No. 13 Illinois after missing more than a month because of an ankle injury.
Limited to about 15 minutes, Mullins checked in for the first time with about 12 minutes left in the first half. His only basket in five attempts was a jumper that gave the Huskies a 63-42 lead with 11:27 left and got a loud ovation from the UConn fans in the crowd.
