HARTFORD, Conn. -- Connecticut freshman guard Ryan Boatright is being held out of competition while the school and the NCAA investigate his eligibility.

UConn declined to disclose Wednesday what the issue is, but said it is not related to academics.

"Boatright will continue to practice with the team and may sit on the bench during games, but will not dress or see action while the joint review takes place," the school said in a statement. "The university and athletic department will not be making any further comment during this ongoing process."
