The Daily Campus' Evan Rodriguez on Gordon:
"Gordon was a monster with the Huskies and most notably during the 2003-04 championship .... the 6’3’’ guard was not only dependable with the Huskies, but also lights out from the three-point line. Gordon was also a multi-time All Big East selection and was never an easy stop during his time with the Huskies. It’s important to note that even with ... Okafor playing alongside Gordon, the guard always led UConn in scoring throughout his college career other than his freshman season."
