I am reasonably sure that Kofi could crush a skull with one hand. He just sometimes has odd lapses where he goes up soft.

Someone needs to make a lowlights reel of all the times Kofi’s arms and hands are violently struck while maneuvering in the paint. If the ball occasionally gets jarred loose, there is usually an observable reason for it.

Whether or not Kofi scores 30, if we don't hit our 3's every game is a white knuckler. Plus missing free throws sooner or later will knock us out of tournament play.

I'm a heck of a lot calmer than I expected. The reason is, this team is what it is and they are what they are. When hitting the three like they have the ability to do, that are borderline unbeatable. When they aren't, they are borderline unbearable. It's Jeckyl and Hyde from game to game...heck, from half to have.

The other thing....these guys won a regular season championship. That means a ton. I'm ok with whatever the outcome is.

They miss Grandison. A lot.

There will be a game and I hope today isn’t it but missed free throws are going to cost us big time

This is where we really need a guy who can drive and score. We are playing sloppy. Those FTS missed will hurt us today if we do not pick it up

Runs…runs…runs. We go to sleep every game it seems like. Usually we are good enough to recover but probably not for 4 or more games in a row in the NCAA tourney. At some point it comes to haunt you. Same with FT’s.

Kofi as big as he is needs to play above the rim and finish. I thought we were on a run but then nadda. Seems like it's Trent or nothing right now.

Indiana is playing for their potential NCAA tournament lives, we are the more well rested team but are not playing like it.

Bingo. Teams have figured that out. Run our guards off the three point line. If Kofi gets 30 and 15, that's fine. Better than letting up 12/20 from the arc.

Addendum: Our play in the paint both offensive and defense leaves much to be desired.

This post makes you no less wrong. He could end up as the all-time scorer and rebounder if he comes back next year. Weak hands… pfft!

They slap down on his arms constantly, not just one person but two or three at a time. They called those on us in the past when had no dominant big,

It's just this year. It is what it is. So many missed practices. Rotations changing. No rhythm. It's so obvious when we are on breaks or mismatches. They are just not a comfortable offense with any sort of rhythm.
