STORRS, Conn. — After two straight quiet games, UConn coach Dan Hurley finally challenged Adama Sanogo, pushing his star to stay out of foul trouble and make his presence felt on the floor. On Wednesday the Huskies’ best player answered the call.
UConn, led by Sanogo’s 20 points, defeated Seton Hall 70-65 at Gampel Pavilion. Guard R.J. Cole and Tyrese Martin each added 16 points.
Sanogo took smart shots in the post and on the defensive end he corralled rebounds while deterring Seton Hall players around the rim. He finished with 16 rebounds and three blocks.
