STORRS, Conn. (AP) UConn says point guard Terrence Samuel has been granted his release from the team and plans to transfer.
Samuel averaged just more than 20 minutes a game backing up Ryan Boatright for the Huskies, who went 20-15 last season and lost in the first round of the NIT.
During his two years at UConn, Samuel appeared in 65 games, starting eight. He averaged 3 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists.
Coach Kevin Ollie wished him well, saying in a statement Thursday night that Samuel gave his best ''on the court and in the classroom.
