Sanogo posted his 10th 20-point game of the year in the win over the Gaels, scoring 28 points on an efficient 13-17 shooting night. “We’re just trying to be as dominant as we could be and attack the glass on both ends because we’re both bigger than.
So we were ready for the game today, Clingan said. “The past four or five days, we’ve been working on finding the post and playing our best post defense. The duo each played well defensively and combined for 40 of UConn’s 87 points, completely dominating every aspect of the game, especially in the second half. While the Huskies had four players in double-figures, the frontcourt of Adama Sanogo and Donovan Clingan did the most damage, terrorizing a very solid set of big men in Iona’s Nelly Junior Joseph and 7-footer Osborn Shema. After weathering an onslaught of hot shooting from Iona and trailing by two at halftime, UConn stepped on the gas and blew the doors off the Gaels in the final 20 minutes, outscoring them 50-24 in the second half. Dan Hurley secured his first-ever NCAA tournament win at UConn Friday as the Huskies stomped over Iona 87-63 in the first round at MVP Arena in Albany, New York.
