Jim Calhoun singled out Andre Drummond for his role in Connecticut's 78-76 win on Saturday over Florida State.

"I thought Andre Drummond established the game early for us, which really, really helped us. I heard some foolish things about what he was and wasn't after a game or two. He does things that are special. The reason I say that, he got tired down the stretch. When we went up seven, eight, nine points, they started avoiding the middle a little bit, all set up by those early blocks by Andre. Those two freshmen [Ryan Boatright and Drummond] really gave us a spark."

Drummond had modest numbers in his first two games, but has increased his productivity and consistency in the most recent five games.
