Message: [QUOTE="awfuldan, post: 4421097, member: 7605"] RE: Kalkbrenner/Sanogo head-to-head last year, Creighton completely sold out to try and stop Sanogo (and, to a lesser extent, Martin and Cole). It was their main defensive strategy. At XL Center in particular, Creighton completely ignored Isaiah Whaley in favor of double-teaming Sanogo. UConn struggled to overcome this, and Sanogo's individual numbers definitely took a hit as a result. Stopping Kalkbrenner wasn't the same level of priority for UConn. I thought we did a horrible job guarding him at times when we played @Creighton. I seem to remember him finishing lob after lob off of simple pick & roll actions. It will be interesting to see how differently our team responds to Sanogo double-teams this year. Sanogo should be better at passing out of them, and the ability to play Karaban at the 4 to provide legitimate shooting and better cutting/playmaking should be huge as well. [/QUOTE]
