UConn men's basketball: UConn Continues To Mold Center Andre Drummond - Courant.com
The good: He has had nine double-doubles (10 or more points and rebounds in a game), which is more than any UConn freshman ever, including Emeka Okafor, who had seven. Drummond broke out in flashes, especially against Syracuse, the best team that UConn has played. The not-so-good: Drummond, who averaged 10.2 points, has yet to develop the post moves that would make him a consistent scoring threat. The coaches are trying to teach him how to seal off his defender and move to the basket, for instance.

They’ve taken as many as 36 in one game. The Cyclones also have beaten Kansas and Baylor. They’re pretty good. They spread the floor. UConn could be looking at playing a smaller lineup.
