[QUOTE="EyeoftheIllini, post: 1565630, member: 623415"] One thing I was happy to see was the Illini getting Kofi the ball more through “traditional” post feeds — him on the blocks and passing over the D. I think Kofi is more comfortable receiving the ball this way rather when guard drives and dishes to him. In MO game it seemed the latter was the only way he was getting the ball. And that is when he can sometimes be in a bad position to catch the ball and make a play. And when they use the former way early, he seems to handle the latter passes better. I’d also say this was Curbelo’s best game overall. Seemed to be getting everyone involved rather than just driving and shooting or dishing to Kofi. Still had some of the splashy plays that are so fun to see, but just seemed to be playing a bit more within himself and the team offense overall. [/QUOTE]
