Just to add on to Excalibur's response above, Sanogo was not taking non-pressure 3s during the season. He was making them throughout the season in games with a lot of game pressure. In the first game against Creighton in Gampel, he had 2 3s and he dominated Kalkbrenner in the paint as well (I have only seen Oduro of Providence come as close to cooking Kalkbrenner in a game). In the 2nd game against Creighton in Omaha Sanogo missed a game tying 3, but you will notice Trey Alexander sprinted out to contest as Sanogo made 3 of 5 3 pointers including one at the buzzer before halftime.

Having said all of that, the other way to erase shot blockers or at least diminish their effectiveness is to post them up, provided the player has good post up skills, or post them up even without the ball or get between them and the person dribble penetrating to the basket to clear the drive to the basket. Knocking them off balance like a Jake Voskuhl, Okafor, and Sanogo did works. Tarris Reed Jr. is more than capable of pushing others around. Tarris just needs to stay out of foul trouble.
