Impact Martin started the first seven games of the season before missing Tuesday's game against Maryland-Eastern Shore.

Jordan Hawkins started for the first time this season in Martin's absence Tuesday and will likely continue to see increased minutes until he returns.

R.J. Cole - Tallies 26 as Huskies secure third Cole registered 26 points (7-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 41 minutes during Friday's 70-63 OT victory over VCU.
Impact Cole will conclude the 2021 Battle 4 Atlantis tournament with 20.0 points, 3.7 assists and 2.7 rebounds across three games, with UConn ultimately taking home the third-place trophy. Through seven games, the senior point guard has improved his shooting percentages across the board in comparison to his 2020-21 campaign, so the increased volume in the absence of James Bouknight hasn't necessarily been a detriment to his efficiency.

UConn will jump right back into action Tuesday against Maryland-Eastern Shore, and Whaley shouldn't be facing any limitations in advance of that contest.
