RJ Cole and Adama Sanogo named to All-Big East First Team

The Big East Conference announced its all-conference teams on Sunday, voted on by the league’s coaches.

Two UConn players were voted to the six-player All-Big East First Team in Adama Sanogo and RJ Cole. Additionally, Jordan Hawkins was named to the all-freshman team.

Sanogo leads the Big East with 8.6 rebounds per game and is second in the league with a 51.5 shooting percentage. As one of the conference’s best offensive rebounders, the sophomore forward has proven to be a lynchpin for UConn’s offense, including Saturday when he had 26 points and 11 rebounds, with a dominant first half.
