Adama Sanogo - Returns to starting five Sanogo will start Saturday against Seton Hall, Neill Ostrout of the Manchester Journal Inquirer reports.
Impact The big man returned from a four-game absence in Connecticut's last game back on Dec. 21 and played just 12 minutes. Sanogo is now set to return to the starting lineup, where he has averaged 15.6 points over 27.4 minutes in eight such outings.

Isaiah Whaley - Not in starting five Whaley isn't among the starters for Saturday's game against Seton Hall, Neill Ostrout of the Manchester Journal Inquirer reports.
Impact Ostrout mention earlier in the day that some players may be on a minutes restriction, so Whaley's exclusion from the starting lineup would seem to suggest he's one of them. The senior big man had started all 12 of the games he's appeared in prior to Saturday, averaging 27.8 minutes per contest. He's likely in line for a lighter workload than that in what figures to be a tough game.

Adama Sanogo - On minutes restriction Sanogo (hamstring) will be on a minutes restriction for Saturday's game versus Seton Hall, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Sanogo's availability in any capacity is a good sign for the Huskies, but it appears he's headed for a second straight contest of limited minutes as he continues to nurse a hamstring issue. That likely aligns him for a bench role again after posting six points, two boards and a block over 12 minutes against Marquette in his last appearance back on Dec. 21.

Adama Sanogo - Available Saturday Sanogo (hamstring) will be available for Saturday's game against Seton Hall, Neill Ostrout of the Manchester Journal Inquirer reports.
Impact Ostrout also noted that some players may be limited, which could include Sanogo, who played just 12 minutes in the previous game. His inclusion or exclusion from the starting five should paint a better picture of how much he's expected to play.

Impact Sanogo's upgraded practice participation marks a step in the right direction but it certainly doesn't guarantee his availability for Saturday's clash with Seton Hall. Word on his status for that contest should surface at some point prior to the opening tip.

Tyrese Martin - Leads scoring in victory Martin accumulated 25 points (9-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 78-70 win over Marquette.
Impact Martin scored a career-high 25 points to lead his team to victory. He has logged 30 shot attempts through his last two games since returning to play, and his aggression has been well warranted. In the final three minutes, he held off the final Marquette push by recording seven points and sealing the win.
DECEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
R.J. Cole - Drops 20 points in win Cole contributed 20 points (7-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 78-70 victory over Marquette.
Impact Cole recorded four assists before he decided to start scoring himself. Marquette cut the UCONN lead down to three points early in the second half and that kicked Cole into hyperdrive. The guard answered the threat by scoring eight points himself and assisting Tyrese Martin once in the next four minutes to push the lead back up to seven. Through his last three games, the senior has averaged 17 points, four rebounds and six assists during 33.7 minutes.
DECEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Adama Sanogo - Six points in return Sanogo (abdomen) notched six points (3-6 FG), two rebounds and one block across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 78-70 victory over Marquette.
Impact Sanogo was making his return after missing the last four games. He was still a bit limited, but should rejoin the starting five sooner rather than later once he gets his conditioning back up to speed. That could even come next Tuesday against Xavier.

Adama Sanogo - Returning to action Tuesday Sanogo (abdomen) will play Tuesday against Marquette but likely will have a minutes restriction, David Borges of the New Haven Register reports.
Impact Sanogo was a full participant at Monday's practice and will return to the court Tuesday after missing the previous four games. He's averaging 15.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 27.4 minutes this season, so he should still be plenty impactful even with more limited playing time.

Andre Jackson - Leading rebounder in loss Jackson racked up eight points (3-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt), 14 rebounds, one assist and one block in 31 minutes during Saturday's 57-53 loss to Providence.
Impact Jackson recorded 14 rebounds for the second time this season, tying his career high. He was within sniffing distance of a double-double but foul trouble and failure to get to the charity stripe resulted in him falling just short. Through his last five performances, the sophomore has averaged 7.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists through 27.2 minutes.

Adama Sanogo - Full participant in practice Monday Sanogo (abdomen) was a full participant at practice Monday, David Borges of Heart Connecticut Media reports.
Impact It seems apparent that the center is nearing a return, as Sanogo has been out since Dec. 4 with an abdominal injury. Per Borges, Sanogo may play "limited minutes" against Marquette on Tuesday depending on how he feels pregame. Once he's available to play, the center will be a major boost to the lineup for the Huskies, who have lost two of the past three contests.
