Game Thread: Illinois vs Wisconsin

frustrating that Kofi has a hard time finishing

Love Kofi's wide open mouth cheer. Tell ya....I would not want to be the victim of a Kofi bite.

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

My point is that when he gets fouled. Not on his dunks. He rarely has a And 1 anymore.

I think Curbelo has played very well in 75% of his games this year. He's also single-handedly facilitated at least one victory so far this year.

However, he is a turnover machine at times, and I think he's very overrated by some. He frequently goes too deep into the paint and gets caught in the air wayyyyyy too often. Still, I hold out very high hopes for the future and I hope we have him back for 4 more years.

These are coachable things. You can't coach a high ceiling and flashy style, which is exciting for the team.

It would be nice to build a good enough lead against teams to get Hamlin in there. Or BBV. We're going to miss KKofi

I hate to say but I’m not sure it’s possible to have as rough of a game as Curbelo has.

The kid's a freshman who sometimes reverts to playing high school ball. It's somewhat expected. He will grow out of it and be a big star when he does, by the look of it.

I'm sorry...not sorry...but if this isn't sarcasm...it's Top 10 All Time worst takes in IL history.

Perhaps the OP refers to Kofi’s struggles when he can’t flush it.

 

[Hopingfor500]

I was pretty critical of Kofi and made the comment that he has to finish like he did in the second half against Indiana. Obvious he heard...you're welcome everyone.

Ayo’s passes

 

[Illini_Jack]

We gotta get some stops. I'm tired of them just hanging around

I was about to say we've got a better defensive lineup in there right now, and then Wisky drives the lane uncontested.

 

[Deleted member 4892]

Can we please win a game that isn’t a nail biter.

 

[altgeld88]

Lol. Industrial flush.

 

[skyIdub]

Was that an approved finish? He also got fouled.....again....with no call.

 

[altgeld88]

Sooooo much time remaining. Don’t like this. Gotta put them away.

 

[Illini_Jack]

Just a guess, but I think Ayo has 1274 assists this game

 

[Deleted member 747802]

Can the Wiscy screener now just grab the defender to open up the driver? Sheeesh

 

[altgeld88]

Just a guess, but I think Ayo has 1274 assists this game

And most of them from out by the hash.

 

[azillini1]

We let them hang around too long with TOs. Now we are going have to work hard against the Wisky run

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

I cannot count how many And 1s they have had this game but we have zero today

 

[skyIdub]

Kofi is like a sequoia tree getting hacked by 100 tiny hatchets.

 

[illiniguy24]

Massive to get Reuvers aka Steve from Stranger Things on the bench

 

[mikeyo]

Ayo on the trip doub hunt

 

[Deleted member 747802]

Is Donnie Marshall watching the same game we are? His comments are annoying. Wisconsin never fouls I guess is his opinion.

We are allowing this game to be closer than it should be.
