Two UConn Huskies men's basketball players were honored by the American Athletic Conference coaches in the preseason awards that came out on Wednesday.
The Huskies, who were picked second in the league, saw Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatright garner accolades.
Napier was an unanimous selection to the Preseason All-AAC First Team. Boatright was selected to the second team. There was no love for DeAndre Daniels or any of the incoming freshman.
