The more I read about how the 4's and 5's played last night, the better I like it.

Sanogo- 4-4 from the line.  He is going to get fouled.  If he can shoot 70% or better from the line, that is more than acceptable from a sophomore 5.  Get to 75% or better and UConn can punish teams with foul trouble.

Sounds like Akok and Whaley cancelled each other out with their defense.  All reports said both of them played strong defense and it affected the offense of the other.  We have seen both of them be able to score, so if they neutralized it other I feel good about their ability to shut down other teams.

Johnson seems like he had a good game.  Hurley referenced good days by him and freshmen days by him but the fact Johnson can play well against Whaley and Sanogo is a huge positive for me.

Sounds like even Springs was mobile and active on the boards.  May come in handy against bulkier post players if Sanogo gets in foul trouble.

Overall it looks like all the bigs played strong defense and that's plenty good enough for me.
