Again with terrible free throw shooting. Thus Kofi has regressed. Last year I thought he had good touch for a big. This year, (without looking it up, just an observation) his free throw shooting is worse. And he misses too many within two feet of the basket. I hate to pick on him, but as a previous freshman of the year and a possible first round draft pick, he needs to really work on his handling of the ball. He often fumbles passes and for God Sake, use a ball or head fake instead of going straight up. A kid that big and strong should be throwing down the basket within three feet. Missouri, with several of our former commits just worked and played harder. They killed it at the free throw line. That is one of THEE most frustrating things to watch. The easiest most fundamental play in basketball and to miss that many uncontested shots. They have to do better. Too many unforced turnovers as well. I hate that we have lost three of these in a row and to watch former commits hoist the trophy. At this point they have come out ahead. They killed us. We really need to work on some basic fundamentals. Better FT shooting, fewer unforced errors, ball fakes, head fakes, clean passes, less traveling/double dribbles. Ayo and Kofi are the stars of this team. They need start playing like they are men against boys. Clean it up Underwood and get this team ready for a grueling big ten schedule. Baylor should our only loss. Last nights loss was self inflicted, poor officiating or not. You have to make what they give you. No one expects perfection every game or at all, but 17/28 isn’t going to do it against good teams. We are better than this. Go Illini!
