If Okafor Had Played More Guys It Could Have Really Been Ugly....

The Huskies have put on a clinic basically without him. Great season though and congrats to Coach Gottfried and the team....

UC definately put on a show. It was a great run for us while it lasted. I am still proud of our team, we will be back.

I'm not sure I would agree with that. The Huskies definitely put on a clinic, but Okafor wasn't really a factor when he was in. The fact that UConn shot lights out was the factor. Good luck the rest of the way.

Today he played the role of defensive pawn. He didn't hurt us offensively, but changed many shots while he was in there.

If he had been in longer, we could have just fouled him and gotten back even further into the game, as he shoots only 52% on free throws.

You're not giving this UConn team much credit by saying that. They are VERY good imo and frankly I hope they go all the way....

I believe the 3 point shots were a bigger factor. If they hadn't been hitting their 3's, Okafor would have been pressured to score, and who knows how he would have done with an injury. One thing he does do is make our guys think twice before shooting on the inside. I saw more missed shots on the inside due to his presence. We just have to face it: we ran up against a steam roller, and nothing was stopping them. They are loaded!

Yo Butcher.... I don't know what game you watched, but if Okafor stayed in I don't know if we would have stayed within twenty. He was a MONSTER on defense.

And the three's were THE BIGGEST factor.
