Led by 26 points from Adama Sanogo and a double-double from Tyrese Martin, UConn men’s basketball survived a late DePaul rally to win 75-68 Saturday and secure the 3-seed in the upcoming Big East Tournament.
In front of a packed senior day crowd at Gampel Pavilion, the Huskies were paced early by Sanogo, who scored 12 of the team’s first 14 points. UConn dominated in the paint during the first half, converted on multiple second chance opportunities and opened up an 11-point lead thanks to a put-back by Tyrese Martin with just over three minutes remaining in the half.
