UConn Championship Team Members Set To "Work" In Enfield Thursday

ENFIELD, CT — Still basking in the hoopla of Monday night's second straight national championship victory for the UConn men's basketball team, fans in the Enfield area have an opportunity Thursday morning to meet three key members of the squad.

Tristen Newton, Stephon Castle and Donovan Clingan will work a celebratory "shift" from 10-11 a.m. at the new Raising Cane's restaurant at 110 Elm Street. "They’ll trade buckets for box combos, greet fans and discuss their basketball futures and what it took to secure back-to-back national titles at the highest level in college basketball," according to a news release from the chicken finger franchise.

Newton, a 6-foot-5 senior guard from El Paso, Texas, notched 20 points, seven assists and five rebounds in the Huskies' 75-60 championship win over Purdue, earning Final Four Most Outstanding Player accolades in the process.

Castle, a 6-foot-6 freshman guard out of Covington, Georgia, collected 15 points and five rebounds in the title tilt.

Clingan, a 7-foot-2 sophomore center who stayed close to home after an incredible scholastic career at Bristol Central High School, scored 11 points in the final contest.
