Does anyone know what the starting lineup will be for Tuesday's game? And who is coming off the bench?
The guy not playing would have been the difference maker. Calling it now.
Hawkins in a boot..
Updated.For the men, returning starters, Whaley, Martin, Cole and Sanogo will hold on to their jobs. Jackson, Hawkinsand Gaffney are competing for the fifth spot. Akok Akok, Samson Johnson vying for a rotation role. There will be some very good players NOT in the rotation, so get ready to ask “why isn’t (fill in blank) playing more?” all season long!
Our UConn basketball reporters took dozens of questions about the upcoming season. Here are their answers

What do you want to know?Anyone know anything about Hawkins????
He wanted to know why he's in a walking boot.What do you want to know?
Top 50 freshman. From DeMatha Catholic in MD. NBA SG height and length. 6'5", 175 lb. Probably 6'9"+ wingspan.
Knock down shooter. Can shoot off movement. Has some ability to put it on the deck attacking closeouts. Okay passer. Pretty good on-ball defender.
Needs to put on some weight and get the defensive system nailed down.

Has a lower leg injury and his foot is in a boot.He wanted to know why he's in a walking boot.
In that case I'm also interested.He wanted to know why he's in a walking boot.
Any timetable on how long he’s out for?Has a lower leg injury and his foot is in a boot.

You would assume Sanogo.So many tasty nuggets in that pic.
Cole, Martin, Polley, Whaley, wearing blue? Who is the fifth player in blue? Diarra wearing blue and may practice but obviously not playing.
With offset lines and people all over the place.............Whaley looks about 6'7", Martin looks swoll, Akok looks taller than Johnson, Cole looks 2" shorter than any other scholarship player,
Polley looks like the tallest guy on the team.With offset lines and people all over the place.............Whaley looks about 6'7", Martin looks swoll, Akok looks taller than Johnson, Cole looks 2" shorter than any other scholarship player,
Martin starting at the 2 is not what I want to see. My fear is that puts too much pressure on Cole to be over dribbling, and we saw last year that he was far better late in the year when the ball wasn’t in his hands as high a percentage of the time.You would assume Sanogo.
There are your starters, at least for Tuesday.
Cole
Martin
Polley
Whaley
Sanogo
Polley looks like the tallest guy on the team.
I say Gaff or Polley gets that fifth spot if Hawkins can't go
I agree with you. Thinking Hurley will go with another ball handler and experience, but at the same time this is a tough shooting lineup. We'll see in just over 24 hoursIf Hawkins is out due to a foot injury, I'm going with the following line up. Not saying I want, not saying I don't, just saying I think this is what we are likely to see.
Cole
Gaff
Martin
Whaley
Sanogo.
