Message: [QUOTE="ToolzieFan, post: 3047376, member: 7018"] This seems like as good of a place as any to tell a random Okafor weightlifting story. During my sophomore year, my buddy and I were lifting in the Fieldhouse when we saw Okafor walk in. It was the fall of his freshman year, so most people didn't know who he was. We immediately recognized him. Okafor was benching without a spotter (I have no idea how much), and he was struggling to get the bar up on his last rep. My friend quickly ran over and gave him a spot to help him finish. Okafor escaped uninjured, politely thanked my friend, and finished his workout. We always joked that he pretty much saved UConn basketball by helping Okafor, so you're welcome, UConn Nation. [/QUOTE]
