Would love to see a huge bounce back from everyone, including Curbelo. Hopefully having Kofi back will do the trick.
IMO there are very few if any that can gaurd Belo by themselves. That's why he's going to get doubled up a lot and other gimmicks aimed at him to try to throw him off. He just needs to start making them pay for it more often.
The team needs to also learn how to play with a hostile crowd and not let it affect their style of play. A neutral court with Cincy will help
Kofi’s return for Belo will be huge. The pick and role game will be a factor. Kofi knows how to open driving lanes for the guards. I think Kofi has great hands for his size. He would make an awesome Tight end

Kofi is much too big and cumbersome to be an NFL tight end.
your other points are valid. Especially the PnR game. Kofi opens up a lot for this team.

He can also catch Curbelo's passes in stride. I noticed Payne and Hawkins and Verdonk all having trouble catching his stuff. even when they dont drop it theyre fumbling just enough to give the defense time to collapse.

Which Kofi struggled with early on last year as well.
They'll learn and they'll gel the way Underwood wants.
I want there to be bearcat poop all over the court after this one.
Win at all costs
All in Orange, I hope.
Some sort of Illini gear for sure!

He got up just fine and kept playing. I think his hair helped cushion the blow.
Belo played the rest of the game he got his. BU even mentioned in a presser sometimes symptoms don't immediately appear. I don't think him playing the rest of the game makes it a foregone conclusion he doesn't have a concussion.
would expect hutch to play

Any practice reports on what the intensity level has been like this week?
Hutch hit his head on the Ubben rafters while dunking
Is Hutch a ballhandler?

We really need Hutch. I really hope he plays in the Cincinnati game….he still hasn’t played an actual game for Illinois.
