UConn star G Jordan Hawkins (illness) expected to play

UConn star guard Jordan Hawkins participated in the Huskies' shootaround on Saturday, one day after missing practice due to illness.

Hawkins became bothered by a stomach illness on Thursday night and the team isolated him on Friday to prevent the possibility of the sickness spreading.

Barring a setback, Hawkins is expected to be in the starting lineup when the fourth-seeded Huskies (29-8) face fifth-seeded Miami (29-7)
