UConn center Donovan Clingan will be in the lineup on Tuesday as the Huskies go on the road to play the Creighton Blue Jays.

Clingan has dealt with injuries this season but returned to the lineup on Jan. 17. Since then, he has played a key role for the Huskies on both ends of the floor:

"There's a bunch of other centers that have gaudier numbers," Dan Hurley said, via Fox Sports.

"But they don't play on a team like ours that is so balanced. We react offensively, really. We send the ball where the defense tells us to send the ball. I don't know what (Clingan) averages a game, but he's one of the most impactful players in the country. Top two, top three most valuable players in the country, that kid."

Clingan has played nine straight games for UConn.
