Fresh off a big Thanksgiving Day win over Oregon, UConn men’s basketball showed another level in a decisive 82-67 win over No. 18 Alabama. Despite squandering a 14-point first-half lead, the Huskies never trailed. With the victory, the Huskies get to 7-0 on the season and will take on Iowa State for the Phil Knight Invitational crown on Sunday at 10:00 p.m. ET on ESPN.
After struggling with foul trouble in limited minutes against Oregon, Adama Sanogo was his usual stellar self, dominating the Alabama frontcourt with a game-high 25 points on 9-16 shooting.
