Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4181661, member: 181"] I've been waiting until I read all of the comments before posting what immediately occurred to me when I read the OP. With a combination of amusement & embarrassment, I admit to txting my sister during a game that I saw "nothing" in him. Ever since, I have scaled back both my instant enthusiasm and harsh criticisms of early-season freshmen. Once again, I love threads like these, and we are so very fortunate as a fan base to have so much to work with. Finally, I'll mention that nobody expected Emeka Okafor to start every game, average 30+ minutes per game, and lead the team in FG percentage, rebounds, and blocks. And he showed 'special' from the beginning. Maryland was just a little bit better in the Elite Eight that year. As with UCLA in 1995, I considered the loss to the eventual champion as indication that the NC was UConn's if the E8 game had been in our favor (a fan's prerogative). [/QUOTE]
