Shabazz Napier had 22 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds in Connecticut's win over Coppin State.

Napier's breakout season as a sophomore has been a big positive for Connecticut. Napier is averaging 18 points, 6.2 assists and 6.0 rebounds per game.

Napier already had a strong reputation as a defensive player, but he is scoring more now from the point guard position.

Napier took a cue from watching Pitt's Ashton Gibbs at camps this summer.

"I know he's looked at as a scoring guard," Napier said after the win. "One thing he does so well is get everyone involved and also know when to score."
