[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1519395, member: 4069"] Howard said in the post-game, the key to shutting down Kofi was to deny him the ball down low --something to the effect of, if he gets in good position, it's over. So I think it's more about positional denial than doubling him after the fact. On the plus side, we got a couple hi-lo opportunities because he could slip the defender when he was away from the basket. The more Kofi has to do those types of things (move his guy on the block, hedge out and slip his man, pass out of bad position or dump it in a double team) the more valuable he'll be as a draft pick. He seems very coachable/smart. Btw, Michigan was triple-teaming Ayo on many of his drives. Team's are going to run out of guys. [/QUOTE]
