SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Connecticut has suspended four players in advance of its matchup with West Virginia in the championship game of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off.

The school announced Sunday that Omar Calhoun, Rakim Lubin and walk-ons Dan Guest, and Marcel Lewis have been suspended due to a violation of team rules.

Their status will be reevaluated following the game and the No. 17 Huskies' return home, the school said in a statement. It added that the university, including coaches and players, would have no further comment on the matter.

Only Lubin has seen action in the Huskies first three games of the season and was averaging five minutes per game.
