Okafor's go to move is to just keep ramming the defender pushing him back under the basket until he can put the ball up.

Honestly, no one on UK can defend that - you need a 300 pound Oliver Miller kind of player who just doesn't budge off the blocks.

That's got to be a frustrating loss for Williams - UNC had it with multiple chances to keep the lead.

something that is starting to piss me now is time keepers.

Its to the point where refs have to constantly interact the time keeper and I bet 8 time out of 10, its to the advantage of the home team. I'm to the point where I pay attention to it now

He was hurt but still found a way to bulldoze some baskets down the stretch. Dook played poorly for a couple of stretches in the second half, which is what allowed us to take the lead. But we did play well during those stretches when Dook was playing like shit. Okafor is definitely going to be an NBA player, a very good one. He's got the size and you can tell he's going to grow into it as he gets older. And he's very fluid for a guy with his size and bulk. Meeks looked good and hit some really nice shots, but Okafor just bullied him a few times. And of course, Dook shoots like 70% from behind the arc and throws up a ton of them. If they hadn't had those two really bad stretches in the second half, we wouldn't have even been in the game...

I can't decide who I would compare Okafor to in the NBA. Alonzo Mourning? Mourning was a true center, and bigger, but not much. Okafor is 6'10" with size, but still very fluid (certainly for his size). Can't decide who he reminds me of...

the way he shoots free throws, I'm gonna go with Dwight Howard

Hindsight is 20/20 but Roy should have thrown bodies at him and kept him on the line the last 5 minutes of the game.

They should have had Simmons and James running in and out to mug Okafor. That loss hurts more than anything since 2012...

If Kentucky plays dook, I would do a Hack-A-Shack on Okiefor with Stein, Towns, Johnson and Lyles and even throw Willis in the mix and then guard the 3. The Jones kid driving the lane would be the one I'd be most concerned with.

If you double Okafor, they will eat you alive with the the open 3 or the pass to an open Jefferson.

I wouldn't suggest doubling him - just keep fouling him - Hack a Shaq

-5 outside right now and we're under a winter storm warning again.

This ain't Boston, but I'm over this bullshit already.

It totally sucks. I'm about ready to just let my dog shit in the house. Tomorrow is gonna be a fucking mess as well.

I'm going to scottsdale tommorrow to play golf for 5 days, drink lots of scotch., smoke a bunch of cigars and maybe even a bowl or two

This is brutal. I'm booking a flight to Miami. Eden Roc here I come.

my wife's car gave me a "yougottabefuckingkiddingme" noise when I went to start it this morning for her.

-17 at 7 am this morning......

I used to laugh at snow birds but I'm at a point now where I think I need a week of 50 degree weather just to get my sinuses back in order. I can see as I get older that week turning into months.

I rarely drive, but when I do I love the autostart feature on the car.

Second that on the sinuses, eCat. Old age and cold weather will reek havoc on them.... Try Vick's... but the best remedy I've (invented) is to mix about 1/2 hydrogen peroxide and 1/2 rubbing alcohol and put in an empty nasal spray bottle and squirt up the nose.. If you can tolerate the first 10 seconds, you sinuses will feel much better in a minute or so..... btw, was -32 in Richmond Ky last night...needless to say it set a record. The coldest I can ever remember it being here in Eastern Ky was -24 sometime back in early to mid 1980's

I survived sitting through the freezer bowl. Even got my pic in SI but this shit is redeculous. My kids haven't been to school all week and we're supposed to get another storm tonight. If it was 30 degrees I guess I could handle it for a bit but these minus temps make me want to kick a puppy.

Rat.....Seems like I read somewhere that one of the 3 shirtless guys at the game that was featured on tv during the chargers game died of hypothermia. Any truth to that.
