Solo Ball has the best name in college basketball.

On Sunday, though, UConn's talented scorer will be on the sideline.

The Huskies are taking on DePaul, but Ball won't be taking part.

Why isn't Solo Ball playing today?

Solo Ball was ruled out ahead of time, according to Jon Rothstein.

The reason is undisclosed, though.

Ball averages 15.4 points per game, so whatever the reason, it's not ideal.

The good news for UConn is this is the Huskies' last game before Christmas.

The Dec. 21 game won't be followed until another one on Dec. 31 against Xavier.

The hope will be that Ball can be back for that one.
