He’s a good example of how big men are ranked so high coming out of HS and usually don’t pan out at higher levels. He was just so big in HS, he didn’t need to develop any type of skill. He just plowed everyone over.

Kofi has to learn to pass the ball when double and triple team. Same problem as last year. He's gotta put the ball on the floor and it's not going to be effective.

Curbelo has to knock off the trash talk BS.

Can't shoot, don't play defense and throw the ball around kind of team.

Curbelo talks/complains more than any Iowa Hawkeye player I've ever seen.

And his defense is on par with Iowa standards as well.

Defense isn't even playing well right now. We're slow to close and cover, as if we didn't have a scouting report on their guards.

Dominated 1st 10. Since then, can't shoot, can't use Kofi effectively, turning the ball over, not rebounding offensively, and letting them get good looks/not forcing turnovers.

The whole game went to shit when Cincy made the adjustment to double and triple Kofi. That was Underwood's Plan A, B, C, D all the way to fucking Z.

And therein lies the problem. Underwood has no clue how to make adjustments. Wes Miller is taking him to school.

The way to beat Illinois if you're an opposing coach:

-Double and triple Kofi
-Sit back and watch Curbelo implode for no reason at all
-Sit back and laugh as Underwood never makes a single counter adjustment

If one recalls his interview at halftime of the now infamous Loyola debacle. He just grunted at the interviewer "We just need to get the ball to Kofi more!"

Marquette - 26 turnovers.
Tonight - up 23-8, lose 71-51.

Can't think of two worse games back to back in a season.  Underwood proving once again he's simply a system coach. No in game adjustments.   We are going to regret having Damonte/Frazier both come back.  Rather develop the youngsters than be average/old. 






Title: Re: Cincinnati Bearcats
Post by: Dominic on November 22, 2021, 09:56:39 PM
We just can’t score. Didn’t see that as a problem coming into the year, but besides Kofi, it’s a crapshoot.

Ayo covered up lot of ills by getting buckets at the end of the shot clock.   Without a guy like that, Illinois offense is going to be slop ball.  Throw the ball up at the rim and try to overwhelm teams on the offensive glass.

Illinois is easy to defend. Simply double Kofi and make him pass, and run Frazier off the 3 point line.  That's all you need to do.
