UConn players Adama Sanogo, Samson Johnson and Hassan Diarra share what it's like to fast for Ramadan during the Final Four.
While Sanogo prefers fruit and coconut water, Johnson and Diarra often opt for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and sports drinks.
The players don’t stress out about fasting during the tournament, but the same can’t be said for UConn coach Dan Hurley. All three players said they wake up around 5 a.m. to eat before their daily fast begins. None of them eat breakfast food, with all three opting for meals including steak for their morning meal.
