Seniors Polley, Whaley and Carlton helped lead Huskies through COVID-19 struggles

Over the last four seasons, UConn men’s basketball has seen countless changes. The program has seen two different head coaches, two conferences, a season cut short and a season where they missed 10 games because of COVID-19.

Through that, though, there have been three mainstays – one out on the wing and two in the post. Tyler Polley, Isaiah Whaley and Josh Carlton have stayed in Storrs all four years.

Head coach Dan Hurley has praised them for their contribution to the culture he has helped build within the program this season. He has looked to them during the hardest portions of the Huskies’ season, after a three-week layoff due to a COVID-19 positive in December and after back-to-back losses in January without James Bouknight.
