A battle of physical big men and outstanding three-point shooters sets the stage as 1994 Arkansas faces 2004 UCONN in the Sweet Sixteen Tournament. The Hogs are led by the “Big Nasty” Corliss Williamson, who will be going up against Defensive Player of the Year and fellow beast Emeka Okafor. 2004 UCONN gets its scoring punch from dynamic junior guard Ben Gordon while the Razorbacks thrive on placing constant pressure on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. This game will be a battle of wills that will come down to the match up between Williamson and Okafor and to which team wants it a little more in the game’s final tight minutes.
