Kofi needs to crank up the beast a bit.

If they are not going to call it when he is fouled he needs to monster dunk every time.
Actually he should be doing that any time down low!

Pretty much a 7-man rotation peppered with a little C. Hawkins. Grandison not involved much once again.

Great first half .


If I had never seen Kofi before today I would say that Illini big guy could make the NBA if he played with a higher motor . Im just not seeing an nba draft pick effort out of him .

This half was a great example of why Ayo hero ball isn't the move with this team
Jordan didnt start winning rings until they had the right parts and he wasnt putting up 50 a game. Ayo needs to not force it and let the game come to him and use everyone else

Cold a** half, man.

Let's come out 2nd half, squeeze their necks tight, then stare into their eyes until the lights go out.

There's blood soaking the water. Time to unleash and hone that killer instinct.

Other than a little sloppiness for a few minutes, everyone is doing the things you want them to be doing, with the possible exception of Kofi, who just kind of looks like he needs to shake the rust off. Maybe because he's still relatively new to basketball, he just needs longer to hit his stride.

BU has to be careful how much he is playing Curbelo over Frazier.
Curbelo will be fantastic but too much freshman right now.

I still think there’s at least a 50% chance we’ll need a big shot in the last minute... but we’ve got four guys I feel good with on that tonight (Ayo, Trent, DMW, Adam).
Agree but where is Damonte? He’s way too important to have not gotten more minutes.

Looking at Duke fans on a 247 forum. Stuff like this:
Refs giving all the calls to Illinois
Duke is not a top 25 team
Duke is not a top 40 team
Illinois is for real

Curbelo might be one of those guards that you just have to live with a few extra TO's because his own teammates aren't ready for what he's creating sometimes.
Yeah, Kofi wasnt ready for that pass which should have been a dunk.

He’s got that Westbrook style where u take the good with the bad. Always going 100mph full speed ahead.

Well, I am hoping that a last second shot does not mean we lose by only 2 rather than 5. This team has a way of turn-overing and missed free-throwing their way out of any lead.
