[QUOTE="altenberger22, post: 1570627, member: 747157"] I watched Kofi really closely on "D" today, throughout the entire game. His presence in the paint as our rim protector was absolutely something we've never before seen at Illinois (throughout our long, proud basketball history). I thought he played that role exceptionally well --- particularly any time an Indiana player started to beat his man into the paint and towards the rim. He always took a step away from Jackson-Davis to ensure there was no pathway to the hoop. Looking ahead to next year with Kofi's likely departure, I think Giorgi can/will provide some very strong offensive stats for us with his prowess in the paint, but we're going to suffer greatly in missing Kofi's defensive dominance. What a monster! [/QUOTE]
