HOUSTON – Adama Sanogo picked up a basketball for the first time as a 14-year-old soccer player in Bamako, Mali.
It wasn’t long before he was on a plane headed to New York, Madison Square Garden one of his first stops, and attending The Patrick School in New Jersey played his way to a Division I scholarship.
On Monday, Sanogo immortalized his legacy at UConn, leading the Huskies to a fifth national title with his fourth double-double of the tournament. The junior center earned Most Outstanding Player honors and solidified his name among a long list of UConn greats.
