I would agree. No team can count on hitting treys effectively and Kofi, historically, has not held onto the ball well in most games and turns it over as a result too often in losses this season. But........he has improved in that aspect noticeably in the last month....it seems few have noticed and given him some love. Yet he still has a tendency to crouch and get the ball low enough for the pygmies to slap it away or get him out of rhythm or position. Also, he is generally a black hole and seldom gets the ball back to our great shooters at the arc....and I hope that improves.
Gotta remember, Loyola is playing with house money and they have nothing to lose. The Illini, OTOH, would gain notoriety as one of the biggest disappointments in the history of the program if they come up short. No pressure....just play like there is no tomorrow and trust that hard work and good habits will pay off.
