Still room for bigs like Sanogo, Timme in college basketball
Associated PressALBANY, N.Y. — UConn center Adama Sanogo punctuated one of the best games of his career by nailing a jumper from around the top of the 3-point line that brought a roar from Huskies fans. “I feel like it’s better for me to bang with people, play against people that are the same size as me.” Sanogo was overwhelming in the first round against Iona. You can’t play small ball and beat them.” The Zags are led by All-American big man Drew Timme, who had 21 points, six rebounds and three blocks in a first-round win over Grand Canyon. “They have a history of having skilled big guys that can play inside and out, pass, dribble, shoot, score in the post,” Horned Frogs coach Jamie Dixon said when asked to explain the Zags’ long run of success. “I think for those guys, for a guy like Adama, obviously it’s lucrative to stay in the college game with NIL valuations,” UConn coach Dan Hurley said.
