Fans appeared early at Madison Square Garden for the noontime contest with the Connecticut Huskies, wondering if standout point guard Posh Alexander would play.
The question was answered quickly when Alexander entered the arena in black sweats alongside fellow Johnnie, Raphael Pinzon, also in black. It was a discouraging sight to see both point guards still on unavailable, but one fan expressed optimism, “if we can control their big guy, I feel we will win this game.” The big guy referred to is 6’9”, 240 pound, Adama Sanogo, who dominated the earlier contest between the Huskies and Johnnies in January.
