About eight minutes before Connecticut’s encounter with Miami in the Final Four on Saturday, Huskies big man Adama Sanogo will down some coconut water and oranges.

Sanogo, a practicing Muslim, is one of three UConn players who observe Ramadan, a month of spiritual discipline that includes fasting. The others are non-starters Hassan Diarra and Samson Johnson.
