Eh, I think it’s fine.Certainly this year. The following 3 might be a tough argument.
I hear you, but today’s sport is different with transfers, declaring early to play overseas, enter the draft, etc. I will take the bird in the hand.Certainly this year. The following 3 might be a tough argument.
You nailed it! He’s finding a new dimension with his game this year. I still think he could have went a little stronger to the hoop tonight at times but defense on him was good and refs weren’t calling any fouls on him.We had serious trouble getting Kofi the ball in the first half, partially because Iowa played some solid defense on him. The second half was a different story, though, and our All-American took over for long stretches. His ability to hit free throws and pass out of the post has completely changed how teams need to deal with him and made our half-court offense deadly.
Big guys like Kofi have always faced a different standard. Complaining about it is like cursing the darkness. But , I am amazed by his ability to keep his cool and avoiding getting called for cheap fouls on defense. That’s not easy for the biggest guy on the floor.I guess some will only accept a coast to coast 30 point win as being a "good game". I don't have FSN1 but just watching the ESPN gamecast had my heart pounding. Amazing and hard fought game. I saw in the game thread that Kofi was taking a pounding but not getting the calls. Couldn't see it but I sure believe it. Illinois always seems to get a physical game when they cross the Mississippi. Wouldn't want it any other way. I have family over there. Love to tell them about it.
Just because Kofi might very well have no NBA future doesn't mean he's not the most extraordinary talent on this year's team or last year's for that matter.he is by far our most talented player.
LOL bohannon was getting abused in this video, kinda funny that he's still thereBefore tonight's win, this was the last time Illinois won in Iowa City:
This was Groce's final season in Champaign and, at the time, was only the 2nd true road win they had had to that point in the season (the other was at Northwestern about a week and half earlier). The final score of the game was 70-66. Malcolm Hill led Illinois with 21 points and 8 rebounds. Finke, Coleman-Lands, and Te'Jon Lucas each had 12 points for the Illini.
To the NBA.Are you sure?
I was surprised when I saw that this morning. I thought it was the 2019 game all over again.
Yes, there is: Beating Michigan…There is nothing better than beating Iowa.
Nothing.
On the second call (where the game clock moved just 8 seconds), it was following a missed Iowa free throw so the refs could have (should have) noted the time on the clock before the Illini rebound occurred.Another one seemed quick too. Maybe the refs weren't adding "mississippi" to their counts. lol
I-N-FREAKING-I!!!I-L-FREAKING-L
Speak for yourself. Michigan is third.Yes, there is: Beating Michigan…
So the implication is that Belo only played well in 10 games last year... and those 10 games were so great that they earned him B1G sixth man of the year and All Freshman team? I'll take it! Can't wait for him to be back. We are so much more dynamic with him.But the Curbelo we've seen last year is the same guy we saw once every three games last year
Three guys were hanging on him on every shot and no foul called. At the end of the game 4 or 5 trips down the floor Iowa got a call on every drive.Is it just me or does it seem Kofi gets fouled at least 90% of the time he has the ball but it’s called like 10% of the time?
