UConn basketball: Huskies dropkick Central Connecticut State in season opener

UConn applied pressure from the jump and never looked back in their 2021 season opener. The Huskies men’s basketball team took the floor for the first time Tuesday night in Storrs. They opened up shop with a 99-48 win over Central Connecticut State, and Adama Sanogo was the star of the night.

Sanogo powered his way to 20 points in the opener. He shot nine-for-11 from the field and went 2-for-2 from the free throw line. He also added five boards, an assist, three blocks, and a steal to his line. He did commit two turnovers, but those were paltry in comparison to a very strong night.
