Senior forward Gus Okafor had his best game offensively as a Shocker Saturday night, scoring 27 points and collecting eight rebounds, leading the Shockers to a 83-71 win against Tarleton State at home.
“That’s the Gus that we’ve been seeing everyday in practice,” head coach Isaac Brown said. “A guy that can score the basketball inside out, and he did a fantastic job on the glass.”
Okafor is a transfer from Southeastern Louisiana where he averaged 12.4 points and 6.5 rebounds during the 2020-21 season. Okafor is a part of a 12 man recruiting class from the NCAA transfer portal this season.
