Wisconsin vs Illinois

B1G basketball

Wisconsin is a very average team. Annoyed that we played our D-level game against them when a C-level effort would've won it.

Is there a reason the announcers are pronouncing Kofi‘s last name as “ Coburn” during the game? .Everyone knows it’s Kofi “ Cockburn.” We had a football nose tackle playing the “ cocknose” according to Matt Millen.

Dosunmu and Cockburn = NBA men against college boys

Yeh noticed it too. Honestly he should change the pronunciation, Coke-burn would work and not seem so forced.

I think that is how Kofi wants his last name pronounced. Coke burn vs cock burn.

 

[MadRU]

When Illinois plays like this, they are a tough out for any team.

Curbelo is hurting them though, too many mistakes.

Lets see if they can keep it up.

 

[MadRU]

Curbelo has been terrible on both ends of the court. Underwood has to pull him. Wisconsin on a run cutting it to 9.

 

[RUBOB72]

Wisconsin can be a win if we play strong D by challenging shots. I just love how they have 6-7 kids as 4/ 5 th year seniors . 23-24 year old men.They do this in football like forever.

There's a Canadian singer/guitarist named Bruce Cockburn and he pronounces it "Coburn" as well.

Illinois looked scary good this game. Ayo with a triple double, 21/12/12 and Kofi a solid 23/14. Damn.

 

[MadRU]

Triple double from Ayo. Illinois looked like the team they should be. Nice game from them.

they've pronounced it like that since he came to Illinois, so I assume that's how it's pronounced...

 

[RUBOB72]

Well he is one B1G person

 

[Shell21]

Our Illinois win is looking better and better . I know it was the second game and at home but it pops out on the resume. If only we didn’t get screwed in that first Ohio state game we’d have 2 wins over possible one seeds .

Kofi is from Jamaica and we were told that that is the pronunciation there.

The great Dick Butkus never had any issues with people making fun of his name. Lol
