Giorgi is also an excellent sealer. I totally agree that good screens and seals should be credited with an assist.

I can guess the reasons: Referees, lack of effort, and bad coaching with wrong players getting time.
I seriously watched the Curbelo highlights like 10 times in a row.I think I've probably watched 3 hours of highlights from yesterday's game. I have a problem.
Plus he gets to stand around in a 2-3 defense and not have to play hard on one end of the court.
I agree. I think the key will be shutting down Washington. EJ is a tough matchup for us. I think he will get his 18-20. Washington was 6 of 18 last time against us. Make every 3 contested!!!

As long as they don’t catch fire from deep this should be a dubya

If only not for the refs, travels and camping in the lane on other teams, Iowa would be undefeated.

Only if they measured Garza’s jawline they’d be National Champs
I went over there yesterday and I've never seen so much blaming of the refs. Like the refs were the reason we won yesterday

Kofi too. I was sitting close enough to be watching him at the Illini vs. Florida Atlantic game during his official visit. The Illini lost that game 73 - 71 in OT (freaking Florida Atlantic!) on our way to a 12 - 21 season in 2018-19. I thought no way he commits after watching that clown show.
Thank you Kofi for seeing something I didn't and for becoming an Illini for life.
Think it’s probably matchup based.
He couldn’t match up with anyone on Rutgers, or Iowa, really.
May see him some vs OSU but I think we need to be focused on locking down their shooters. So I sort of doubt it.
I am not as high yet on Hawkins as so many on this board are. He just doesn't seem to contribute much although his minutes are limited but at 6'10 I need to see more. Next year hope to see him blossom.
Me too !! Well....if I could reach his face.

last time hawk any ticks he looked really weak. could not get rebounds and was not able to block any shots. he is still learning how to play with the big boys
Hawkins is okay. He needs to get a little stronger, he needs more experience and most importantly he needs some confidence. I think he'll be make some serious strides next year.

Clearly you have never read a Loyalty game thread during a loss.
Win or lose, we should still be a 1 seed, but there is a lot to like about our matchup today.
The Buckeyes have played 4 in 4.
Unfortunately for them, Young is out. So their starting lineup is weaker and now the bench expanded. That could bode well for Giorgi going against their #2’s on the interior.
If we start to lose contain on Liddell, Da’Monte proved last week he is more than capable at stopping EJ.
Keep our same approach that we’ve had the last couple weeks and we’re in for a fun Selection Sunday.

Hawkins clearly was not BIG ready. There was pretty strong talk in early pre season that he would be redshirted, but that all changed with the injuries to BBV and Hutch. He is really a good kid from a great family and before his 4 years are up he will make contributions to the program. His time will come!!
