Ochefu is more than the odd man out for Villanova

HOUSTON -- If Villanova runs a four-out offense, what then does that make Daniel Ochefu?

Left out or fifth wheel?

“He’s the key," Villanova coach Jay Wright said. "He’s been the key to our success."

Come again?

At a program and for a coach known for producing great guards, on a team that’s launched 927 3-pointers this season, the big man is the key? Is Wright merely being polite?

Actually no, no he’s not.

Four-out doesn’t work without one in and Wright is, well, right.

The Wildcats aren’t in the Final Four without Ochefu.
