UConn seeks revenge on Seton Hall UConn seeks revenge on Seton Hall after dropping the first matchup in Storrs
Helps lift Huskies Cole had 21 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes in Saturday's 80-62 victory over Marquette.
Impact Even with James Bouknight returning to the starting lineup, Cole continues to serve as a valuable secondary scoring option for the tournament-hopeful Huskies. He's returned to the starting lineup over the last four contests, putting up 15.3 points -- along with 4.3 assists and 3.3 rebounds -- over that span. UConn has now won four of its last five games, helping its case for an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament.

Dealing with rolled ankle Coach Dan Hurley revealed after Saturday's game versus Marquette that Carlton rolled his ankle but didn't know the severity of the issue, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.
Impact Carlton returned to the bench after his exit but doesn't seem to have checked back into the contest. His status will be one worth monitoring ahead of next Saturday's game versus Georgetown.

Returns to bench after knee issue Carlton retook the bench after suffering an apparent knee injury during Saturday's game versus Marquette, Neill Ostrout of the Manchester Journal Inquirer reports.
Impact Carlton is reportedly still walking gingerly, so it's unclear whether or not he will be able to rejoin the action. Carlton attempted only one shot and didn't have any other stats on his line prior to his departure.

Second straight 20-10 game Bouknight had 20 points (8-17 FG< 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds and an assist across 34 minutes in Tuesday's 70-57 victory over Georgetown.
Impact It's safe to say Bouknight is back from a fantasy standpoint. His eight-game absence now appears to be just a blip on the radar, as he's been as productive as he's been all season following one tune-up game. The Huskies are currently on the NCAA Tournament bubble, but the committee certainly needs to take into account how the team as looked with and without its best player. UConn will look to make it back-to-back wins Saturday against Marquette.

DNP against Georgetown Akok did not take the court in Tuesday's victory over Georgetown.
Impact Akok has the potential to provide a valuable depth role down the stretch, especially defensively, but look for the minutes to be inconsistent. Per Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic, Akok's usage will be determined on a game-by-game basis for the remainder of the regular season. Akok had received just five combined minutes over his last two games after logging 10 in his return Feb. 13 against Xavier.

Double-doubles against Villanova Bouknight had 21 points (7-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-8 FT) and 10 rebounds across 36 minutes in his first start since Jan. 5 on Saturday against Villanova.
Impact Bouknight made his return against Providence earlier this week but was held to just 24 minutes in a bench role. He was back to his regular self Saturday and looks to be set to lead the Huskies in their quest for a NCAA Tournament berth. Bouknight should certainly be scooped up where any impatient fantasy players may have dropped him, as he'll likely serve as UConn's scoring and usage leader the rest of the way out.

Turns in 25 minutes Polley had three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and an assist across 25 minutes off the bench in Saturday's loss to Villanova.
Impact Polley had been dealing with some knee trouble going into this contest, but the fact he still served as the leading reserve suggests the senior should be good to go down the stretch. Currently 7-6 in Big East play, the Huskies sit firmly on the bubble with respect to their spot in the NCAA Tournament.

Late removal from starting five Jackson is no longer included in UConn's listed starting five for Saturday's game against Villanova, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.
Impact Jackson was among the initially posted starters for the contest, which was a bit surprising given James Bouknight's participation level in his first game back. It shouldn't come as a surprise, then, that the change has now been made, and Jackson is set to return to a bench role for the Huskies after a pair of starts. He could still be in line for double-digit minutes off the bench, however.

Starting against Villanova Bouknight is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Villanova, according to Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic.
Impact Bouknight moves to the starting five for the first time since Jan. 5, and he is coming off a strong 18-point performance off the bench in the Huskies' last game. Bouknight is averaging 20.3 points as a starter and his presence should provide a huge boost for the Huskies' backcourt on offense.

Will return Saturday Polley (knee) will be available for Saturday's game against Villanova, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Polley won't miss time due to his knee problem and is expected to be available for Saturday's matchup against Villanova, though it remains to be seen whether he'd start or not. He's made just three starts all season long but his best performances have come off the bench -- he is averaging 8.9 points per game as a second-unit member while scoring just 6.3 points per tilt as a starter.

Game-time decision with positive outlook Polley is considered a game-time decision for Saturday's contest against Villanova due to a knee injury, but head coach Bobby Hurley admitted he's "probably more likely to be able...
Impact Polley's status will still be worth monitoring, but he seems to be in a good spot as far as his chances go of taking the floor in the contest. The senior enters Saturday posting 8.4 points and 2.2 boards per game over 21.0 minutes per contest on the year.
