Tyrese Martin Suspended for CCSU Game

[cohenzone]

They approved his waiver just so they could suspend him for playing in an unsanctioned game at a time when he didn’t know he could play this year.

I had for starters

Cole
Bouk
Polley
Martin
Whaley

I'll sub in Adams now for Tyrese. But my gut says we probably will go with Whaley and Carlton as much as I hate the 2 big lineup. Hurley hasn't been shy about starting that way and ending smaller before.

I think it might be Andre at the 3 and Polley at the 4. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Hurley plays his veteran lineups that he loves to use.

I don’t think Goodman hates UConn as much as people say. I know I read somewhere that he said he would actually rather have UConn be good since he can cover a top 10 or top 25 team without having to get on an airplane. He lives in Mass.

I mean wouldn't anyone want that?

I agree with you that it's not as much as ppl say, but he definitely did not give off vibes of a pro-UConn guy prior to Hurley, even though he lives in mass.

Stupid rule. Sucks for Martin. Probably better for uconn tonight though as it’s one less guy hurley has to worry about giving minutes to against a bad team

 

[UCDaveD]

Was he on a scooter?

 

[AuRevoirAAC]

Classic. Kid gets suspended for practicing the game he loves. The subjective NCAA needs to go.

 

[FlippinCrazy!]

Suspended for playing basketball, gotta love the NCAA

seriously, almost as stupid as James wiseman having to pay the NCAA to play last year

 

[AZHuskiePop]

Purvis for the same thing, Adams for the scooter, Bouknight last year, Martin now... we have a player suspended for an opener practically every year

Wilson was suspened the first semester after sitting out his whole freshman year for signing up for summer classes at St John’s

 

[Umami Zen]

Better now than later.. Slap on the wrist..

 

[huskyfan224]

In what world does that make sense. Person who made that decision prolly wants ppl wearing masks and not having fam/friends over to their own homes

 

[UConnStats]

Who has the zoom invite for the criminal trial?

 

[Horatio]

Clearly we should be betting on who’s gonna get suspended or held out at the beginning of every season. It’s an annual event.

 

[David 76]

Exactly what does this accomplish?

 

[UCLJ0211]

Do we have confirmation that it's only tonight's game?

Multiple articles online state it is only a one game suspension.

 

[UCSouth]

Are Will Wade's money bags sanctioned?

 

[StllH8L8ner]

The NCAA sux.

 

[coloradohusky]

So, an unsanctioned game? I coach special Olympics basketball. If I get a player to be a partner, is that an unsanctioned game? Wouldn't be surprised.

Do you work for DDS? Or just volunteer your services?

So, after 40 minutes of game film, whose minutes is Martin taking on Friday night?

4-5 from Polley, Gaffney, Adams and maybe maybe 2 from Bouk/Cole. Gets him to the high teens

He’s such a turkey!

Not a huge fan of Gaff and Cole spending too much time on the court together think we can be better defensively for sure and even offensively but we will see. I think Martin Bouk together will give Bouk a bit more space as you could see even against CCSU he didn’t have a lot.

So many options it’s crazy!

 

[David 76]

I love our 2 point guard tradition but it will make it hard to fit in some talented wings.

 

[ucawn]

Martin averaged 7 and a half boards last year... he’ll find some minutes

 

[HooperScooper]

Martin averaged 7 and a half boards last year... he’ll find some minutes

Plus he's known as a good defender. Based off of just last night they're going to need that in the backcourt.

We were clearly better when Bouk was at the 2 and one PG was on the bench. I really hope Martin takes that starting spot. I want more length, rebounding and D than we get with Gaff and Cole.

Soon we will Martin and Akok, as well. Many options indeed. This team will be like soup in a 5-star restaurant: It will need time to coagulate and come together. But damn when it does...

 

[uconnbill]

Emmert is a sanctimonious asshat

 

[TheChamps990411]

TMart is a really good player. Hes going to get minutes. I just dont know if he`ll will ever start. I think when things get settled we`ll see Polley, Whalley, Sanogo, Bouk, Cole as the starters. Thats a pretty good 5. You have a long frontcourt and 3 guys who can hit 3s. May not be the best team defensively though.

Anyone notice that Jackson can rebound? The kid gets up there. Sanogo, Martin and Jackson.

Hes an athletic freak. He missed time becaues of injury and then the two weeks over covid didnt help. I think once he gets going hes going to simply take over games. I would not be surprised to see him put up 15 points 12 rebounds 10 assists a couple of blocks and steals in a game.
