Sanogo scored 26 points as No. 18 UConn beat DePaul 75-68 Saturday in the regular-season finale for both teams.
"An angry Adama is hard to deal with," UConn coach Dan Hurley said. "His track record coming off a sub-par game is pretty good. He responds very, very well to not being at his best."
Tyrese Martin added 19 points and 16 rebounds for UConn, which held a 49-31 edge over DePaul on the boards. UConn has won six of its last seven games. With its win, UConn secured the No. 3 seed in the upcoming Big East Tournament. DePaul will be No. 10. UConn took a 40-29 lead at halftime, with Sanogo scoring half of the Huskies’ points. The sophomore, who on Friday was named a finalist for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award as the nation’s top center, went 9 of 11 from the floor and added seven rebounds in the first half alone.
Freeman-Liberty missed six of his first seven shots and the Blue Demons struggled to stay with the bigger Huskies on the backboards.
