Sorry. Took me a while to catch up with the thread. I feel your pain on the jet lag front! Been there too many times...

As I look at this team and to make an analogy as a three headed monster: I feel we have a huge monster as #1, 3 pt/outside shots are #2, and anyone (maybe curbelo) driving to the lane dishing passes is #3

Why does Brad refuse to play RJ Melendez. He is the best of the Freshmen. Whenever he does get PT, he is fearless. He always scores. Tonight nobody on the Illini could buy a basket after Kofi went out. Melendez could have provided a spark. I don't get it.
I am sure BU has his reasons, but I admit I was thinking we needed a little RJ with about 5 minutes left in the first half.

Interesting fashion choice for Ayo. Made me look it up.

Still kind confused.

Anyone know why the dates say 2019 - 2021? Shouldn't it be 2018?

IF at all 2018 is included, then: 2018-2019, 2019-2020, 2020-2021

I guess (they considered) it to be too long, so the 2019-2021 ( three year endings). Makes sense

dj bald head ref.......dude (no pun intended ) is absolutely one of the three worst refs ever , with Bo B. and Larry S, the other two refs.......Ancients help us if we get all three for a game.......................

dj bald head ref was the ref who called the foul on Feliz @ Maryland with 2 seconds to go as Dre and Cowans were on the court battling for a loose ball....
Cowans made a FT to win the game.....absolutely a non call and he blew the whistle.......Thats why I always ask who the refs are before each game.........

It he picks up the third, he can't play 1/2 as aggressively, as he did in the 2nd half. It he's juggling fouls, you're not getting 23 and 18 tonight. That's why, unless you're on the cusp of getting blown out...you sit patient until the 2nd half, when you have all of your bullets in the holster.
Exactly. Plus you have a senior laden team that should have been able to steady the boat. By the time Maryland had whittled down the lead, Kofi had sat long enough that he could have easily picked up a third foul before he got into the flow. A Kofi unfettered by foul trouble in second half was the goal, and we saw why tonight.

I'm so grateful that Kofi withdrew from the NBA draft then withdrew from the transfer portal. It would be agony to watch him putting up these numbers at KY.
Thank you Kofi for remaining with the Illini.
