HARTFORD, Conn. (AP)—Kemba Walker scored 28 points and Stanley Robinson added 25 as No. 12 Connecticut rolled past American International College 106-67 in an exhibition game Wednesday night, despite playing without starting guard Jerome Dyson.

Dyson, a senior, junior Donnell Beverly and freshman Jamal Coombs-McDaniel were held out of the opening exhibition because of problems with their eligibility paperwork. UConn announced before the game the players would not participate “pending evaluation of recently submitted paperwork pertaining to their annual eligibility certification.”

Aikeem Vanderhorst scored 18 points and Isiah Wallace had 17 for the Yellow Jackets, a Division II team that finished 15-13 last season.

    Go Huskies! They will play a different type of ball this season with a very untempo game and a lot of guard and outside scoring. They remind me the year when they won their first National Champion in 1999. There was no dominate big men but just a transitional offense that could score 90+ points a game. As much as Thabeet was good, he did slow down the offense. He was a great shot blocker and I am sure Stanley Robinson will do his best in that role despite the big shoes to fill.
