NO ONE outworks Adama!

[Thirty Three]

He’s already a UConn great. He’s one game from being a UConn legend. What I love most about Adama is his relentless work ethic. NO ONE outworks Adama! Let’s Goooooooooo!!!

 

[GHSWolverines]

And people are worried about his fasting

 

[WrenchFan69]

If we win Monday, his jersey will be in the Huskies of Honor immediately. What a king

 

[Palatine]

Sniper!

 

[BarkingDog]

Adama averaging 20 and 10 in the tournament.

Just dominating. But really, he’s done it all year.

[HuskyHawk]

Sniper!

Huge key to the game. Hurley clearly wanted to drag Omier outside to impact Miami’s rebounding. So Adama gets the green light and hits them both.

 

[UChusky916]

Put up 21 and 10 in his sleep. So efficient. So skilled.
No one deserves it more, he's just a great kid...

 

[gsmooth]

I am more happy for him than for myself. He really deserves a championship ring for all his hard work and dedication.

Now UConn needs to go out there and earn it

What a quote

 

[Phoenixhusky]

He was a beast!

 

[MyDorona]

His growth from freshman year to present is most impressive. Through relentless work he developed an outside shot, court vision, passing, and endurance. If he doesn't develop all of those things, we are not where we are today.

 

[caw]

He is making choosing a starting five of UConn greats even more difficult.

 

[KingAG]

He’s a top 2 UConn big man of all time.

Emeka 1A
Sanogo 1B

Incredible.

Not sure it’s quite that close.

If we were doing first, second, third team all-UConn he can be second team (which is of course no insult at all) but Emeka was just one of the best college players ever period

WERE - they WERE worried

Indeed - not to play into the ridiculous claim that we "lucked" into this because all the top seeds lost, but Emeka had 18 in the second half and nearly single-handedly beat Duke (KP #1) in the Final Four to send us to the championship game.

Adama has been great this Tourney. His game is better now than ever. The corner drive along the baseline was special. His help D is greatly improved. His vision and passing is better, and he’s cut down on dribbling in the paint. Super improvements all around that don’t all show on the stat sheets. Still hate him taking 3s, but it certainly worked like a charm.

You got to have Toby Kimball in that mix!

And let us hope makes it even more difficult after it all said and done Monday night.

When he has time shoot the 3 from the top of the key he is good. But is not as good at shooting them like Nunge or Eric Dixon

Yeah he does need time and space, but teams usually give it to him.

That was absolutely killer. The Miami kids mustve been thinking "like dude w.t.f?!!! seriously?!!!" This team takes your soul.

Incredible.

Emeka was player of the year and insane defensively.

1. Emeka
2. Sanogo

And that's nos light on Sanogo. Who is a better post player than Emeka, which in itself is a pretty amazing thing to say.

Would love to see Emeka defending Adama in the post Emeka’s prime.

Those two going 1v1 would be something

 

[Scrappy3]

He’s averaging 20-10 in 25 min

 

[Woodson]

What a game by Adama Sanogo!! En fuego!!!

 

[superjohn]

He was awesome and he was the rock. Wish I had the ability to post more than I can but whatever. Monday will be special.

 

[Mandoo]

You got to have Toby Kimball in that mix!

Kimball was national leader in rebounds. His average per game was staggering. He had 25rpg games. Kimball is numero uno, I can tell you I was in the old field house so many years ago watching Kimball wreck many a team with his incredible performances. His predecessor, Art Quimby, was a 6'5" center who probably has all the UConn rebounding records despite his size. Okafor was great, but Kimball, to this observer, had no peers.
