Sanogo, Hawkins, Newton help No. 24 UConn pull away from DePaul, 90-76

CHICAGO — Early on, Tuesday’s UConn men’s basketball game at DePaul looked like it would be a one-on-one shooting contest between Adama Sanogo and DePaul’s Javan Johnson.

Sanogo was left wide open for the game’s first six minutes and scored eight points before head coach Dan Hurley gave him some rest. Johnson received similar defenseless treatment from the Huskies; he made each of his first four shots, including a pair of wide open 3-pointers, and scored 10 of the Blue Demon’s first 12 points over the same stretch.

It wasn’t long before Jordan Hawkins joined the fight and helped the Huskies to a 90-76 win inside the not-so-hostile Wintrust Arena on Tuesday night.
