Co-leads team in points in win Martin recorded 15 points (5-12 FG, 3-4 3PT, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes in the 72-60 win over Butler on Saturday.
Impact Martin bounced back in a big way in the win Saturday. The forward had come to a halt in the prior match without a single point to his name, but rebounded going 50 percent from the floor. He has also been consistent at the board which is an added plus. Martin is still viable, but will be a huge piece to the equation if he can just drop his shots more often.

Heating up for Huskies Martin had 22 points (9-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in Wednesday's 82-61 victory over DePaul.
Impact Martin logged his first of three double-digit rebounding performances in the second game of the season against Hartford, and after that, started the next three games. It looks like he'll hang on to that starting spot even with Tyler Polley and Josh Carlton available, as it's difficult to argue with this kind of production. He'll face another conference challenge Tuesday when the Huskies head to Milwaukee to face Marquette.

Joins starting five Martin will make his starting five debut for the Huskies on Thursday versus USC, Neill Ostrout of the Manchester Journal Inquirer reports.

Suspended for opener Martin has been suspended for the season opener against Central Connecticut for playing in an unsanctioned summer league game, Jeff Goodman of WatchStadium.com reports.
Impact The summer league game took place in the middle of Martin's transfer from Rhode Island to Connecticut. It looks like Martin should be able to return for Friday's game against Hartford. He should play a sizable role this season after averaging 12.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.5 three-pointers per game last season.

Dealing with minor issue Martin was "nicked up" during Friday's practice but is expected to be back at it next week, David Borges of Hearst Connecticut Media reports.
Impact Martin's issue appears to be on the minor end of the spectrum, so there's little reason to believe it will prevent him from being ready for the start of the season. Assuming he's healthy, the junior transfer from Rhode Island figures to be a consistent presence in the Huskies' starting five after averaging 12.8 points and 7.0 rebounds per contest a season ago.

UConn's Tyrese Martin granted waiver to play this season
UConn swingman Tyrese Martin has been granted a waiver that will allow him to play basketball for the Huskies this season after transferring from Rhode Island in AprilSEPTEMBER 16, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Granted waiver The NCAA approved Martin's request for a waiver Wednesday, making him eligible to compete immediately at Connecticut, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact The Huskies were already bringing in a promising crop of incoming freshmen in 2020-21, but Martin may have been the team's biggest offseason pickup, as the Rhode Island transfer chose UConn over a number of other suitors after entering the portal in late March. Though Martin left Rhode Island without his degree, the NCAA apparently looked favorably upon his appeal for a waiver, allowing him to play right away at his new school in 2020-21 during his junior season. While he may have to sacrifice some minutes and touches while he joins a more talented Connecticut roster, Martin should have a fairly clear path to a starting role at either forward spot. During his second season at Rhode Island, Martin averaged 12.8 points, 7.0 boards, 1.5 treys, 1.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 34.2 minutes per contest.
