Been a pleasure to watch Sanogo develop and his efficiency for scoring .
That being said...................................................
I don't think the dump the ball in to Sanogo, watch him do his stuff and score, is best for this team.
When UConn does run an offensive set and gets the ball to Sanogo, all the other players stand still, and it's either a hoop (pretty high percentage), or it's a defensive rebound. When the ball goes to Adama offensive motion stops. And I don't think that is good for this year's team.
There is a big enough problem of UConn players stopping motion when Bouk gets the ball; Sanogo in the post is a double stop offensive movement.
I think this team's deepest progression in the tourney is based on motion and multiple scorers. I'll go contrarian and suggest UConn goes further with a 5 out offense and Whaley shooting threes than they do with dumping the ball in to Sanogo and getting short made shots.
