St. John's is squaring off against Minnesota on ESPNU Tuesday night, which means the college hoops world is gaining a better appreciation for the best sartorial staple in the game this season: Chris Obekpa's short shorts.
College basketball is thankful for Chris Obekpa’s short shorts
One of the most intimidating players in college basketball rocks arguably the least intimidating look, and it’s fantastic.

— Katie Lynch (@KTLikesToParty) November 1, 2014 The best part about this whole situation is that these aren’t even really short shorts, Obekpa is just so adamant about rocking the look this season that he’s rolling ordinary shorts over. The explanation:
Reason I am told that Chris Obepka rolls his shorts into short shorts is because the length of shorts restricts him when he's running.

For all of this, we are thankful.
