“I definitely think we got in their head,” said Oriakhi, who shook off first-half foul trouble to finish with 11 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks. “They were second-guessing shots they were taking and if we didn’t block it we were able to alter it. I definitely think it frustrated them and we got them out of their comfort zone.”
It certainly looked that way.
The hulking 6-foot-9 Oriakhi and the rest of UConn’s muscular and long front line disrupted Butler’s timing and shook the Bulldogs’ confidence.
