KEEP AN EYE ON

⏩ Stepping up: If Jalen Adams is suspended for the game by Kevin Ollie, other guards are going to have to step up with production and playing time in his absence. Christian Vital, for one, is ready for that challenge.

“I feel I’m in really good shape ... I feel healthy, I feel great, and I’m just ready to get this going with my teammates,” he said. “We’re not taking our eye off Colgate. We have to play every team like they’re the best team we’re gonna play all season. That’s the mindset we’ve been practicing with. That has put us in a great situation going into (Friday).”

⏩ No Onuorah: Grad transfer David Onuorah’s UConn debut will have to wait. Ollie ruled the 6foot-9 forward out for Friday’s opener. Onuorah

suffered a hip injury a couple of weeks ago and has sat out all three of the Huskies’ exhibitions. He ran on the sidelines, under the supervision of trainer James Doran, during Thursday’s practice.

⏩ Experienced Raiders: Colgate returns 93 percent of its point production from last season, as well as 90 percent of minutes played.
