UConn is loaded with talent this season and they also feature another one of the nation’s best big men in Adama Sanogo. He poured in 17 points and grabbed seven boards in the blowout win. The Huskies dominated Florida on the glass, outrebounding them 39-25.

UConn also did an excellent job of sharing the basketball, they had 16 assists compared with Florida’s six. The Huskies also shot the ball at 51.7% from the field, while holding the Gators to shooting just 30.2% from the field, including just 26.7% from three-point range.

After throttling Florida, UConn currently sits at 10-0 and they’re ranked as the No. 5 team in America. The Huskies are playing like a team that should be a popular selection to advance to the Final Four in the 2023 NCAA Tournament, if they can keep it up.

Donovan Clingan has played like one of the best shot blockers in America this season. He’s averaging two blocks per game. Coming out of high school, he was rated as the No. 8 center in America, according to the On3 Consensus Rankings in the 2022 cycle. So far, the 7-foot-1 center is living up to his lofty billing. His combination of size and shot blocking ability are going to make UConn extremely difficult to face the rest of the regular season and in March.
