Stanford has arguably the most underrated freshman in the nation in Ebuka Okorie, a 6-foot-2 guard averaging 22.1 points per game in his debut season for the Cardinal. Okorie has eight games with 25 or more points, including three with 30-plus points. UNC has allowed guards to go off in the last two games, with SMU’s Boopie Miller scoring 27 points. (MSN.com)
