Or, get it to Kofi before they recover and score the 2

Just need to keep our heads, feed the big guy and we got this. Let’s maybe draw up a different play to break the press too
Play smart. Play tough. Keep feeding Kofi. We got this. 
Yeah its making me pull my hair out lol seriously though whats so frustrating about it is I know we have TONS of potential to be legit great but we keep making so many mistakes.
The challenge here is that we replaced Ayo and his calming, mature presence with Coleman, who at this point in his young career is very emotional, erratic and immature.
The 10 second rule needs to change to when the shot clock reads 19 seconds, not 20. The clock changes instantly to 29. 29 on the shot clock means 29.0-29.9 left to shoot, 19 on the shot clock is equivalent to 10.1 seconds of possession.
Not an excuse for not being able to get the ball across half court but it’s an incorrect rule to call 10 when the clock changes to 20.

Classic mistake against the press is letting the ball stop. Either Frazier has got to drive it up or players MUST move to ball and pass quickly....neither of which is happening.

Those are the best type of boys, though.
Hard work paying off for Kofi at the line. Let's care for the ball and close this out. Love that we have great FT shooters in Jake, and plummer.
The problem is we're casually walking the ball up the floor. Flash someone to the middle and get the dang ball over. It's basic stuff.
Yes this isnt hard. Just push it up before they get into position.
Kofi has 18 boards
And half may be on the offensive end.
Offensive rebounds this half have been fortuitous

Kofi might get 20-20.
Plummer and Hawkins with 4, Kofi with 3. This is gonna be tight.

Illinois is up by 10, fellas.
That's good.
That's good.
The reason we’re able to be competitive in these games despite turnovers. I will never take for granted our effort on the O glass.

Was she struggling to get the meatloaf from the oven to the table through the kids full kitchen press?
This isn’t talked about enough on here, and it’s because it’s a non issue most of the time, but Kofi’s ability to stay out of foul trouble for someone of his size is truly remarkable
Must we have a whistle every possession the rest of the way? Come on zebras, stay out of the game

You’re right. The 48-21 rebounding advantage has nothing to do with it
