Kofi's ability to seal off opposing bigs when we penetrate is key to our success. He's amazing at it and it should be duplicated by everyone on our team.

He'd never play a 6-man rotation unless only six were dressed for the game. All three FR (and perhaps even Lieb) would get minutes in the above scenario.

Unless our roster gets totally devastated by the flu, I'm speculating a close one Monday night. Just not sure which team will come out on top. Vegas likes the good guys by 6.5, so let's go with:
75 ILLINI
71 ND

Very True. I know its yesterday’s news, but Giorgi was stellar at that as well…
This Game is really gonna be interesting.
But let their bigs follow our driver and we then hit a free Kofi trailer driving for basket.
Do they offer a certain number of free articles per month or is all of their content behind a paywall?I know it's behind the subscription pay wall...but if you were ever inclined to join The Athletic....this is just an example of their excellent content....

What’s ailing Illinois? Three days behind the scenes with an Illini team trying to rediscover its joy

A very good look inside the locker room during the trip to KC and all of the injury fallout.
Brad Underwood is just an outstanding leader of our program.

Highly recommend.I know it's behind the subscription pay wall...but if you were ever inclined to join The Athletic....this is just an example of their excellent content....

I bet Goode plays a decent amount with guys out. He seems ready and has the confidence to do well. I thought he looked better than some of the more experienced guys last game.

I honestly can't remember. I believe when I joined there was a trial period where you could cancel....but I can't be sure about that either.
The deal they had when I joined was too good to pass up. I have thoroughly enjoyed their coverage of all the teams I follow. Totally worth it.
Well hey other than the flu ravaging the team, Belo’s concussion, Kofi’s suspension, and Trent’s knee, how are we doing?
I think we can all just forget last game happened right? Especially since no one really saw it. Either way Plummer is on fire and Kofi is as dominant as ever. With consistent point guard play this team can be right back in the mix of things, especially if one of Trent or Plummer hitting shots. With students back and the SFC rocking we should have some much needed extra help. Need this one and the AZ game bad with what seems like a not so good B1G.

any update this morning on who might be playing and who is out? Going to the game tonight....
If I had to guess I would think that Curbelo plays and so does Grandison but won't start (limited minutes), Trent still out along with BBV.
Starting Line Up for tonight:
Hutch
Plummer
DMFW
Coleman
Kofi
Goode will be first off the bench
Thoughts?

I just clicked on link. It appears there are no free articles. BUT a pop-up deal said only $1 a month for a year...that seems like a good deal for those interested.
Pure speculation I expect the same guys from Friday minus BBV.
Really gonna need someone outside of Plummer and Kofi to score.

No bueno
Not optimal.
The Kofi & Plummer show... episode 3... I hear its pretty good.
Gonna take more than just Kofi and Plummer IMO against ND. Hopefully, DMW, Hawkins or Goode can provide some offensive punch tonight. Man, I hope we get healthy before next week.
