Jalen Adams, a sophomore guard, added two free throws with 20 seconds left to give UConn a cushion.Brandon Browns 3-point attempt at the buzzer would have forced overtime for the Lions (1-2), but his shot hit off the rim and the Huskies escaped with their first win of the season.It was a grind it out game, UConn coach Kevin Ollie said.

He remained down on the court for several minutes before the training staff led him off to the locker room. He did not return.We definitely had good defensive pressure as a team, Vital said. This was a must win for our team. Were a young team and we faced adversity.Ollie said Gilbert reinjured the shoulder he previously hurt and will be examined when the team gets to Hawaii on Friday.BIG PICTUREUConn: Thursday was the third game of a hectic beginning to the 2016-17 season, which the Huskies will play seven games in 20 days and also take a 10,200-mile road trip during that span.LMU: The Lions coach, former NBA coach Mike Dunlap, figures to improve LMUs 14-17 record from a year ago.

Time is running out to find a replacement. Rice, the 2004 Indy 500 winner, was set to join Simon Pagenaud and Tristan Vautier as Schmidts drivers in qualifying on Saturday, but he chose not to compete. "It was a joint decision," Schmidt said Wednesday in his garage. "I was looking for funding, he was looking for money. If we couldnt give him a proper two or three days of testing, he just didnt want to be involved, which is fine." Schmidt said he would have liked to have Rices experience as part of the team. "The bottom line is, we were doing our best effort to ffind the funding to get Buddy in a car today to get him an adequate amount of time to practice so he could qualify on Saturday, and at the end of the day, we couldnt find the funding in time.dddddddddddd" Bryan Clauson, Jay Howard and Katherine Legge are also hoping to land in Schmidts open car. "Theyre usually in here on a revolving door all day long, looking for an update, so weve talked to all of them," Schmidt said. "Were slowly running out of time here, but its not out of the question." An already short amount of prep time is likely to be shorter because of Mother Nature. "With rain looking ominous for the next couple days, best-case scenario is a Saturday-Sunday qualifying thing and go race," Schmidt said. ' ' '
