Adama Sanogo - Not dressed for warmups Sanogo (abdomen) is not in uniform for warmups ahead of Saturday's game against providence, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact Sanogo was initially deemed a game-time decision and was seen taking part in early shootaround but ultimately will miss fourth straight game. The 6-9 sophomore appears to be nearing a potential return but will have to wait a little longer before he can take the floor. His next chance to do so would come on the road against Marquette on Dec. 21, as Akok Akok figures to remain in the starting five for at least one more game.

Adama Sanogo - Taking part in early warmups Sanogo (abdomen) is warming up early prior to Saturday's game versus Providence, Neill Ostrout of the Manchester Journal Inquirer reports.
Impact Sanogo is officially a game-time call for the contest, so his participation in pregame warmups is at least a good sign. More clarity on his staus figures to surface ahead of the opening tip.

Adama Sanogo - Will be a game-time call Sanogo (abdomen) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Providence, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Sanogo initially was considered to have an outside chance to play Saturday as, as the team was hoping to have both he and Tyrese Martin back for the start of conference play. It seems like Sanogo's availability will come right down to tip-off and his status could be determined basedon how he feels going through warmups. If he returns, UConn would get two of its top scorers back in the fold with Sanogo averaging 15.6 points and 6.3 rebounds in 27.4 minutes per game.

Tyrese Martin - Likely good to go for Saturday Martin (wrist) is expected to play in Saturday's game against Providence barring a setback, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact This is the same thing that coach Hurley said following Saturday's win over St. Bonaventure. As of Thursday, Martin has not suffered a setback so it looks like his three week absence will end against Providence.

Adama Sanogo - Questionable to suit up Saturday Sanogo (abdominal) is questionable to play Saturday against Providence, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Impact Sanogo is able to do more in practice this week and could potentially take part in full practice on Friday. Once the coaches see how Sanogo responds to no restrictions, they should have a better idea of his chances to play Saturday.

Akok Akok - Ties season-high point total Akok totaled 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), five rebounds and three blocks in 34 minutes during Saturday's 74-64 win over St. Bonaventure.
Impact Akok played the part of dynamic big man, preventing scoring down-low and drilling shots from three-point range to help his team secure the win. He let it fly from deep range in the first half to keep the defense honest and punished them with tip-ins and dunks in the second half, showing great game-situation awareness in the process. Through his last three starts, the junior has averaged eight points and seven rebounds during 29 minutes.

Tyler Polley - Contributes 13 points Polley closed with 13 points (4-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes during Saturday's 74-64 win over St. Bonaventure.
Impact Polley was one of four Huskies to record double-digit points during the win. The forward hit a deep shot midway through the opening half to give UCONN a lead which held until the final whistle. Through his last five appearances, the senior has averaged 8.6 points and 2.8 rebounds through 23 minutes.

Adama Sanogo - Has outside chance to play Saturday Head coach Dan Hurley said after Saturday's 74-64 win over St. Bonaventure that Sanogo (abdomen) could still be a couple games from returning but does have a shot at returning for...
Impact Hurley said the team will know more about Sanogo's status in the middle of the week. He's ramped up his activity in practice but his injury is a delicate one and so the team wants to make sure they don't rush him back out there and risk further injury. Sanogo has been one of the Huskies' most dominant players this year, averaging 15.6 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.

Impact Martin has missed the last four games due to a wrist injury but appears to be set to make his return this week when Providence comes to town for the team's Big East opener Dec. 18. The team will likely be extra cautious with Martin in practice throughout the week to ensure he doesn't suffer any setbacks. If he successfully makes it through the week, the 6-6 senior could make his return for the first time since Nov. 26. More on his status should unfold as Saturday's game approaches.

Andre Jackson - Strong showing in defeat Jackson ended Wednesday's 56-53 loss to West Virginia with 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals over 27 minutes.
Impact Jackson was one of the main reasons UCONN was able to keep the game close as he slashed to the basket early to capitalize on easy layup opportunities. The 20-year-old had a good night on defense, holding Taz Sherman to just 44 percent from the floor. Over his last five appearances, the sophomore has averaged 6.2 points and 8.2 rebounds through 27.4 minutes.

The 22-year-old was responsible for two of UCONN's three total three-point makes on the evening. Over his last five performances, the senior has averaged 18.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists through 34 minutes per game.
