Akok Akok top five and OVs

[intlzncster]

Wasn't Brimah and-1 against St. Joe's? Or did he have another one against Iowa State?

hahahahahahha aaaaaaand I'm wrong.

Looks like it's time for a new Akok thread. What a show.

You're mixing up 11 and 14. We beat Iowa State in 14. They were the better team that year, but we wore them down. I also think if Niang was healthy we would have lost. We had no one to contain Ejim, who I think dropped 36 on us inside, you add Niang in and his versatility and it's a different game.

Wore them down? We had a solid lead the whole first half and led by double digits for much of the second. 2014 Iowa State is the most overrated team in Boneyard history.

Agreed, we controlled that game from start to finish, the final score wasn't really indicative of the game. It took a career game from Dustin Hogue to keep it somewhat close. Niang was a very good college player but let's not make it out like the Cyclones were missing Bill Walton. UConn wasn't going to be denied in that torunament, especially at MSG.

A conversation between fans discussing which championship team did what has never been had by 'cuse fans.

Their championship stories start like band camp stories.

New thread

 

[UConNick]

Yup, I mixed them up.

Isn't it annoying when you've got so many titles you mix them up in discussion?

 

[Guapo]

Sooo....back to Akok?

Lol! Wrong thread dude

 

[JB75]

The reason Melo was called a “rental” was because he cudda easily went to nba out of high school, came in as a freshman “one and done” and was clearly just there for one year in leading his team to title. How are bazz kemba rip and meka “rentals”? Three of them stayed 3 years, overachieved thier high school ranking in thier college career and bazz stayed a full 4 years. Not comparAble.

To this day that 96 Kentucky squad was the most loaded I’ve ever seen. Derek Anderson , Mercer, McCarty, Shepherd , Delk etc.... and , oh yeah Antoine walker. U kidding ???

 

[boog204]

Ejim had 7 points that game on 3-13 shooting

The other guy then... Dustin something? Some undersized big men scored 30+ that game.

Thats part of Danny’s MO, visit the recruit in the field just before the OV. Even Chief doesn’t know the full strategy behind this - other than “It works”.

Pretty sure that's Kofi, #21 in white, and Akok blocks his shot at the 12 second mark

 

[Chief00]

Akok would be a great get. Of course, Chief’s first post commitment talk with the dude would be about starting fast breaks with block shots rather than blocking shots out of bounds. Block shots out of bounds are great for the highlight reels and the First Night fans but not efficient basketball.

 

[Scrutineer]

Akok is the man. Sure hope he sees the future Hurley is leading UConn to and decides to join the team.

Don't forget to add that he needs to share the ball more often as well ... his swishing 3's and dunking all over the place is just so selfish
