CO will finish second in NCAA D-1 for blocks.

CO will finish second in NCAA D-1 for blocks.

2nd per game?  Or total blocks for the year?

He will finish 2nd in Total blocks.

Not including today's games:

Chris Obekpa - 4.09 bpg
Jeff Withey - 3.89 bpg

It will all depend on how Withey does going forward in his remaining games.

Blocks are great. But he is not a good defender.

I realize its a just a post season list and congratulations to Chris Obekpa but, old Lefty's got twenty-one guys on his "team". Maybe he could have put a little more effort in and tiered them.

Blocks are great. But he is not a good defender.

I disagree, and its actually kind of silly people say that. He is one of the best defenders in the BE. Blocks count as defense. Defense is the only reason he's on the court.

Obekpa made the white kid on Georgetown look like Karl malone.

He doesn't guard his man. Most of his blocks came on weak side help. Look at how good interior bigs performed against him. GT, SU, UL, Nova, Baylor etc.

Went to the George town game, sat near the basket. Almost had a heart attack watching him. Besides not being strong, had no interest in fighting for position. I love when he blocks shots, but his man to man post defense is amazingly bad.

He needs to learn this summer how to play defense. The blocks may actually go down, but that's what you can expect when instead of guarding the other 4 guys, you're guarding yours.

We all knew he was green. Now we see if he puts in the work. He can be in the NBA some day. That means millions are at stake.

Our team defense was considerably better with CO on the court

Yea, that's cryptic.

I think Greene has a little love affair going on with women's baller Ashley Perez

Obekpa is just shouting him out so that his followers will follow Phil.

Explain to me why he gets PT if he is not a good defender. Is it his offensive prowess?

Because there's no one else. I figured that was obvious. This isn't news. Obekpa needs to work on everything except shot blocking. As far as why he got so much PT? For starters, he was only center on the roster.
