Game Thread: Illinois vs Indiana

[bjp84]

Listened to Deon Thomas on radio first half. He says we need to drive more and stop settling for jump shots. Good D so far though.

 

[FloridaMan]

Not sure why Kofi brought that one down

Career limiting habit

Is grandison still in a sling?

 

[sacraig]

That was a pretty weak attempt by Kofi.

 

[hiberto]

why won't kofi go up strong every single time??

 

[aaeismacgychel]

There we go, Kofi. Just like that. No need to bring the ball down

 

[Mistakenj]

That was a pretty weak attempt by Kofi.

Kofi’s explosiveness looks “off”

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Kofi has such weak hands.

 

[bootsy1974]

'Kofi's sucking wind' says Bardo then Kofi proceeds to swat the !!!! out of Johnson's layup attempt.

 

[Illini_Jack]

Nice block

 

[Hopingfor500]

It really is a great question. This has been a three year thing. My best guess is that it's muscle memory and he needs to steady himself.

Werner reported that he was no longer in a sling. But obviously out for today

He looks really tired out there but he’s hanging tough

So tired of this untrue take…

He does not play mean. He needs to have a bit of Demonte in him. Just a little. He plays too nice.

 

[sully]

Kofi says "get that **** outta here loosier!"

Thanks

Good finish, killer 3 ,Trent. Get stops n finish.

Its not untrue. He gets the ball knocked out of his hands easily. Needs to be more forceful around the rim

Just look at those weak hands of his…

Watch some of the old lowlights of Shaun Pruitt. You'll never question Kofi's hands again.

I'm not sure if it's his hands either. It's the taking the ball down and not keeping it high that frustrates people....then not finishing. Fingers crossed that he takes control.
