HARTFORD, Conn. — March couldn’t have started any better for the UConn men’s basketball team.
The 14th-ranked Huskies dominated their way to a 32-point halftime lead and kept the pressure on until the final buzzer of an 88-59 victory to close down the XL Center for this basketball season.
Adama Sanogo’s game-high 26 points with five rebounds, a block and two steals led the way for a UConn offense that featured six players with at least eight points. Andre Jackson came close to registering a third triple-double in the Hartford Arena this season with 11 points, nine assists and eight rebounds. After a stretch of tough shooting games, point guard Tristen Newton made five of his seven shot attempts for 12 points, six assists and five rebounds.
