PC's starting lineup looks like it might be ( I just chose a random game from last year, NOVA at PC. The player info is from ESPN)


G - Jalen Lindsey - 6-7 227 SR
G - Alpha Diallo - 6-7 211 SO
G - Kyron Cartwright - 5-11 185 SR
F - Bullock 6-8 225 SR
F -Emmitt Holt F 6-7 240 SR

Ours might be (player info from ESPN)

G - Jalen Adams
G - Alterique Gilbert (if Ollie wants to ease him in I can see Vital or Anderson starting)
F - Terry Larrier (same as with Gilbert, or sliding Whaley or Polley here)
F - Kwintin Williams 6-7 211 SO
C - David Onuorah 6-9 249 SR

I would love to see Gilbert and Larrier play but we have a long season ahead of us

I'm Pumped!!

I'm betting the 4 is Diarra and the 5 is Cobb

I was thinking about diarra but he hasn’t played a game and is coming off of an injured season. I didn’t see much of Cobb but I liked how onuorah moved and his athleticism

Agreed. Williams isnt there yet. If a kid who has played one year total of competitive basketball is starting we got problems. I could see him being a 6/4/1 kind of guy by march though.

I believe cobb will start. First sub carlton.

Id bet in alterique coming off the bench to start but playing 25 mins minimum. Vital earned this. He was a warrior last year
 
Emmitt Holt is battling a serious medical condition and is not currently with the team.

Ok. My bad on that. I went with what espn has up. Who’s filling in for him?

Pc seems to be a really short team.

And I would imagine no one plays more than 20 minutes, and we see a lot of strange line ups--4 guards, 3 bigs, etc. Ollie will be trying to get a feel for how this team gels

PC has 7' er and a 6' 10" 260 lb beast named Nate Watson. PC is not a small team.

And your guards are 6-7 or is that a lie by ESPN?

Yes our two shortest players are Cartwright and 6' 3" MAL, everybody else is 6' 6" or more.

Edit: Drew Edwards who redshirted last year is 6'4" and Maliek White a backup point is 6' 2"

what does diarra bring that williams doesn't?

Ollie is going to coach to win. Sure, he will test some different lineups on the floor, but the starting 5 will be the current starting 5. This game is a shaping experience for the team and for the rotation. This team needs to win more than it needs to experiment although I would think everybody sees minutes. A win would inject confidence and cohesiveness into the team, so important, especially at this early stage.

Pretty much agree, other than Gilbert not starting. That’s a tough one - I think he may start and then they will sell Vital on being first off bench for both Adams and Gilbert - effectively starters minutes. Adams will move to point when Gilbert is out. Everyone will be happy.

Will WTIC air it on radio?

I’m guessing they will. I’d definitely pay for a stream though. Hopefully something better than huskyvision, which sucks. Donate all stream money to relief as well, I think it’d do really well.
 
Has UConn ever played an exhibition game against a Div I school? Can't recall.

I don't believe so - not sure if it is even allowed.

UConn, Providence To Play Exhibition To Benefit Hurricane Relief Oct. 25
Exhibition games, for which admission is charged, must be against Division II opponents or lower. For two Division I teams to meet, it must be a scrimmage, not open to the public. However, the NCAA has granted a blanket waiver for this event, as coaches Ed Cooley and Kevin Ollie took the lead in making it happen.

Have news for you on MAL being 6'3 - 6'1 best is more like it but same with us, Gilbert at 6' and 5'10 is more like it.

Complete wrap up on team mau-surements to come later.

What a classic ole Big East battle! It took the kid Phelps literally making every contested shot for PU to beat us. UConn goes on to become a blue blood while PU is relegated to the lowly mid-major dump heap we'll see next Wednesday night.
