Former UConn basketball star Stanley "Sticks" Robinson has died at his home in Birmingham, Ala., the school announced on Wednesday. He was 32 years old.
In his four years playing under Jim Calhoun, Robinson totaled 1,231 points, 776 rebounds and 130 blocks. He was regarded as one of the best dunkers in the NCAA from 2006 to 2010 and was a member of the 2009 Huskies that reached the Final Four.
He scored in double figures for 34 consecutive games and played 126 total.
Robinson was also briefly suspended by Calhoun but instead of quitting the team, he worked in a scrapyard for six months and earned his spot back on the team.
