Sniffs double-double in win Sanogo amassed 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 32 minutes during Thursday's 75-56 win over Butler.

Impact Sanogo had back-to-back double-digit games to help UCONN achieve victory in both of their meetings with Butler this week. He recorded 13 points and 15 rebounds in the first and nearly reached the double-double mark again in their second meeting. The sophomore has averaged 18 points, 14.5 rebounds and four blocks during 32.3 minutes over the last four games.

Career day against St. John's Sanogo ended with 26 points (10-17 FG, 6-11 FT), 18 rebounds, two assists and six blocks in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 86-78 1OT victory over St. John's.

Impact Sanogo was met with little resistance in the paint in this one, and mixed with the fact that the game went to overtime, it allowed the second-year forward to set a career-best rebounding total. In fact, his 18 boards broke a previous career high of 16 set just last Saturday against Seton Hall. He also scored his most points since a 30-point outing against Auburn back in November, in addition to his second six-block game of the year. It appears Sanogo is fully back into form after missing a four-game stretch in December with a hamstring injury, and he should be considered one of the elite centers in the Big East for the remainder of the year.

Sanogo leads UConn to overtime victory over St. John's

Adama Sanogo had 26 points, 18 rebounds and six blocks to lead UConn to an 86-78 overtime win over St. John’s

Huge game in loss Sanogo had 18 points (8-16 FG, 2-3 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 90-87 1OT loss to Seton Hall.

Impact Sanogo made his presence back in the starting lineup loud and clear against Seton Hall, notching a career-high 16 rebounds to go along with leading the Huskies in scoring. Now that Sanogo is fully healthy, he should continue to start going forward.

Returns to starting five Sanogo will start Saturday against Seton Hall, Neill Ostrout of the Manchester Journal Inquirer reports.

Impact The big man returned from a four-game absence in Connecticut's last game back on Dec. 21 and played just 12 minutes. Sanogo is now set to return to the starting lineup, where he has averaged 15.6 points over 27.4 minutes in eight such outings.

On minutes restriction Sanogo (hamstring) will be on a minutes restriction for Saturday's game versus Seton Hall, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Sanogo's availability in any capacity is a good sign for the Huskies, but it appears he's headed for a second straight contest of limited minutes as he continues to nurse a hamstring issue. That likely aligns him for a bench role again after posting six points, two boards and a block over 12 minutes against Marquette in his last appearance back on Dec. 21.

Available Saturday Sanogo (hamstring) will be available for Saturday's game against Seton Hall, Neill Ostrout of the Manchester Journal Inquirer reports.

Impact Ostrout also noted that some players may be limited, which could include Sanogo, who played just 12 minutes in the previous game. His inclusion or exclusion from the starting five should paint a better picture of how much he's expected to play.

Limited following hamstring tweak Sanogo tweaked his hamstring against Marquette on Saturday and got in a limited practice session Thursday after missing practice Wednesday, Neill Ostrout of the Manchester Journal...

Impact Sanogo's upgraded practice participation marks a step in the right direction but it certainly doesn't guarantee his availability for Saturday's clash with Seton Hall. Word on his status for that contest should surface at some point prior to the opening tip.

Six points in return Sanogo (abdomen) notched six points (3-6 FG), two rebounds and one block across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 78-70 victory over Marquette.

Impact Sanogo was making his return after missing the last four games. He was still a bit limited, but should rejoin the starting five sooner rather than later once he gets his conditioning back up to speed. That could even come next Tuesday against Xavier.

Returning to action Tuesday Sanogo (abdomen) will play Tuesday against Marquette but likely will have a minutes restriction, David Borges of the New Haven Register reports.

Impact Sanogo was a full participant at Monday's practice and will return to the court Tuesday after missing the previous four games. He's averaging 15.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 27.4 minutes this season, so he should still be plenty impactful even with more limited playing time.

DECEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Full participant in practice Monday Sanogo (abdomen) was a full participant at practice Monday, David Borges of Heart Connecticut Media reports.

Impact It seems apparent that the center is nearing a return, as Sanogo has been out since Dec. 4 with an abdominal injury. Per Borges, Sanogo may play "limited minutes" against Marquette on Tuesday depending on how he feels pregame. Once he's available to play, the center will be a major boost to the lineup for the Huskies, who have lost two of the past three contests.

Not dressed for warmups Sanogo (abdomen) is not in uniform for warmups ahead of Saturday's game against providence, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Impact Sanogo was initially deemed a game-time decision and was seen taking part in early shootaround but ultimately will miss fourth straight game. The 6-9 sophomore appears to be nearing a potential return but will have to wait a little longer before he can take the floor. His next chance to do so would come on the road against Marquette on Dec. 21, as Akok Akok figures to remain in the starting five for at least one more game.

Taking part in early warmups Sanogo (abdomen) is warming up early prior to Saturday's game versus Providence, Neill Ostrout of the Manchester Journal Inquirer reports.

Impact Sanogo is officially a game-time call for the contest, so his participation in pregame warmups is at least a good sign. More clarity on his staus figures to surface ahead of the opening tip.

DECEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Will be a game-time call Sanogo (abdomen) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Providence, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Sanogo initially was considered to have an outside chance to play Saturday as, as the team was hoping to have both he and Tyrese Martin back for the start of conference play. It seems like Sanogo's availability will come right down to tip-off and his status could be determined basedon how he feels going through warmups. If he returns, UConn would get two of its top scorers back in the fold with Sanogo averaging 15.6 points and 6.3 rebounds in 27.4 minutes per game.

Questionable to suit up Saturday Sanogo (abdominal) is questionable to play Saturday against Providence, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Impact Sanogo is able to do more in practice this week and could potentially take part in full practice on Friday. Once the coaches see how Sanogo responds to no restrictions, they should have a better idea of his chances to play Saturday.

Has outside chance to play Saturday Head coach Dan Hurley said after Saturday's 74-64 win over St. Bonaventure that Sanogo (abdomen) could still be a couple games from returning but does have a shot at returning for...

Impact Hurley said the team will know more about Sanogo's status in the middle of the week. He's ramped up his activity in practice but his injury is a delicate one and so the team wants to make sure they don't rush him back out there and risk further injury. Sanogo has been one of the Huskies' most dominant players this year, averaging 15.6 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.

Impact Sanogo has been feeling better the last few days according to coach Hurley. He suffered an abdominal strain last week against Maryland Eastern Shore. Sanogo will likely be eased in at practice in the coming weeks and we should get further updates on his potential return to action.

UConn second-leading scorer Adama Sanogo out multiple weeks with abdominal injury Third-leading scorer Tyrese Martin is also out with a wrist injury.

DECEMBER 3, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Likely out multiple weeks Coach Dan Hurley said Friday that Sanogo (abdomen) is out at least a couple of weeks and will likely be sidelined longer, Neill Ostrout of the Manchester Journal Inquirer reports.

Impact Sanogo recorded eight points and two rebounds before leaving Tuesday's win over Maryland Eastern Shore early with a lower abdominal strain. The 6-foot-9 forward has been spectacular to begin the year, averaging 16.7 points and 6.9 rebounds in 28.0 minutes per game heading into Tuesday's contest. During his absence, Isaiah Whaley and Richie Springs will likely see increased roles.
