If nothing else, try to muscle him and wear him down. Fouls to give. Keep Cliff fresh.

Dean can’t hang with him, but he can bring him out to the perimeter which would open middle for Paul to wheel and deal.


I know he's a walk on and scout team guy, but I can't believe after FOUR years that Luke Nathan can't give us a few minutes here and there.

Didn’t Palmquist cover him for awhile first game? Not very effectively

Agee will look like an 8th grader covering the HS varsity center.

The only player on the team that stands a chance one on one against Kofi outside of Cliff is Nathan.

If Cliff gets in foul trouble, Pike has a tough decision to make. Reiber and Agee both can't handle Kofi. Do we try to zone or double or let Kofi eat?

Nathan could be given a couple minutes if Kofi is really killing us but I think Pike wants to avoid that due to offensive letdown.

Kofi and Edy are the 2 matchups just due to the sheer size of these massive 5's where Nathan has a legit argument to be given a couple minutes. Edy made Reiber look like a child

I’d rather put Reiber out there to at least give Illinois something to deal with on the other end, Agee or Nathan not doing much better than him on D anyways
