NEW YORK — Tuesday, October 18 was Big East Media Day at Madison Square Garden. UConn Men's Basketball was represented by Head Coach Dan Hurley, Junior Forward Adama Sanogo, Sophomore Guard Jordan Hawkins, and Junior Guard Andre Jackson Jr.
UConn's season ended in disappointment last year as they were knocked out of the NCAA Tournament in the Round of 64. They've lost key pieces in Tyrese Martin and R.J. Cole and are looking for new players to step up and fill roles.
The Huskies were picked to finish fourth in the Preseason Big East Coaches Poll and Sanogo was named the Preseason Big East Player of the Year.
Hear from them about their expectations and goals for the upcoming season below.
