Alex Oriakhi has regained his starting job in the Connecticut lineup.

"I worked hard all week and I guess the coaches saw that and decided to start me," Oriakhi said, "At this point, all I want to do is win."

Calhoun said the decision to start Oriakhi over Tyler Olander was in part to build back Oriakhi's confidence.

"I told him, no promises," Calhoun said. "But he's been a big part of this team for three years. He helped us win a national championship last year."
