Message: [QUOTE="gsmooth, post: 5322166, member: 9355"] Tarris will be shooting the 3s that Sanogo was taking. He won't be taking the type of 3s that Hawkins was shooting which was running off of screens or taking1-2 dribbles and then stepping back and shooting 3s where a defender had his hand up. But make no mistake about it, if Tarris is making 19-52 from 3 for the season, like Sanogo did in the 2023 season, that's a game changer. If it doesn't pull the opposing center from the basket, that's a potential extra 6-9 points a game for UConn. It will stress out the opposing coaching staff as they will struggle to make the decision of if their center should go out to the 3 pt line to defend. Remember when Sanogo opened the Final Four game against Miami with 2 3s made? That was much more than 6 points-it set the tone. Sanogo was not afraid of the moment and his teammates followed that line of thinking. [/QUOTE]
