2011–12 Connecticut Huskies men's basketball team
The 2011–12 Connecticut Huskies men's basketball team represents the University of Connecticut in the 2011–2012 NCAA Division I basketball season. The Huskies are coached by Jim Calhoun and play their home games at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut, and on campus at the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Connecticut. The Huskies are a member of the Big East Conference.
As punishment for prior recruiting violations, head coach Jim Calhoun served a three-game suspension, in UConn's first three Big East games. The team also lost one scholarship, reduced from 13 to 12, and is restricted in other recruiting activities.
On February 4, 2012, Calhoun announced he will take an indefinite medical break from coaching as a result of spinal stenosis. Associate head coach George Blaney said he will be managing the team during Calhoun's absence.Roster
