Hoops Preview: Top Shot Blockers Set to Meet in Tulsa

A pair of shot-stuffing sophomores will meet in Tulsa on Saturday evening.

Oklahoma State’s game against Minnesota in the BOK Center will feature Yor Anei and Daniel Oturu, dueling centers who rank in the Top 20 nationally in blocks per game.

Minnesota’s Oturu, who is 6-foot-10, 240 pounds, had about half the blocks Anei had in their freshmen seasons. Oturu had 46 stuffs to Anei’s 85. But through 10 games this season, Oturu leads Anei 34-27 in the stat.

A lot of that has to do with the foul trouble Anei has found himself in at times this season.
