Game Thread: Illinois vs Arizona

[eas23]

It's not like the points don't count, and this is fun as hell, but relying on Trent and Plummer (and I guess Grandison) to just bomb 3's all year long is going to be an interesting strategy.

is kofi a bit Ill today?? He seems to be off his game today.

I don’t think he’s ever faced as long, quick and bouncy a shot blocker as Koloko. We need to get him the ball down lower, right on the block.

Dealing with multiple 7-footers. He's had plenty of boards and blocks. Just not many points, which we could certainly use.

I think he's gonna learn a lot from this game.

He has been trying a lot of soft and sensitive, Gweyneth Paltrow **** around the rim. I think when he watches this game tape he's gonna recognize that he needs to at times just try to dunk over skinny defenders and either draw fouls or punish them, physically.

Kerr is a stupid first name. There I said it.

\ It's doubly stupid to have your first name on your jersey.

THE BIG MANS GOTTA EAT

 

[skyIdub]

You can't stop him....you can only hope to contain him.

he needs to understand how to use his power he needs to go through the shot blocker for all of his immense talent we forget he has only been playing the game for like 6 to 7 years

Might be a stupid first name, but if that’s your first name and playing at AZ might as well put it on back of jersey.

 

[OrangeNBrood]

Don't sleep on how important it is that we're in the bonus now and Arizona is still a good number of fouls away...

 

[dbeverly26]

This is literally the best interior defensive team in the country. Not really feeling the “weak Kofi” takes

 

[Rusty]

Well at least I won't need fingernail clippers for awhile.

 

[frozenrope9190]

Kofi is calibrating with his FT's. He'll be better down the stretch.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

That kid can play.
