Sanogo, Martin, Whaley and Jackson played well today. Cole was off.
One interesting statistic mentioned by the TV crew, is in UConn wins Polley averaged 9 points, and in our loses 3 points. Today he had 8 points and we won.
It’s kind of a paradox and difficult for Chief to explain, but while our usual starters played well, they played best when mixed in with other rotations. Polley started, Chief assumes for Senior night, and we did not fall in the usual early hole. Not because of Polley’s scoring but because they did not double Sanago with 2 non shooters in there. So Sanogo ran a torture chamber as Chief use to say about Kevin McHale.
Jackson Jr had a great game, Chief is so proud of the young man who listens, learns and works. His game has become so incredibly efficient. 3-4 FG, 8 Rebs, a 4 assist to turnover ratio.
