You’re sure he’s not really this bad huh, ok. Not sure what that’s based from. He’s a mid major player

Mid-major players can be pretty good apparently. He won’t be as good as he was yesterday every game, but he sure as hell isn’t as bad as his rough stretch. In other words, he’s human. I’m glad he’s on our team. He needed to see the ball go in a few times; hopefully he has turned a corner in terms of the weight of the slump off of him.

Said much the same, SAW.

If that performance helped him get his confidence back, and we see stuff like that more often, yesterday's game will have been the most important of the season -- and for a lot more than being a win vs. the nation's 10th-ranked team.

Koby was doing his thing all along, deferring to Markus a bit to much offensively, but still doing a lot of the little things. He actually had a decent stat line a couple of the games before he hurt his thumb. That really wasn't what he needed for his first road game in conference.  And it showed. Here's to his confidence and his thumb continuing to improve.

He said himself in an interview he knows he wasn't playing great. He was helping in other ways sure but let's not pretend he was playing that way on purpose

He reverted back to his mid-major self tonight (2-10, 0-3 on 3s).

4 lightly contested missed layups in the second half, he has an odd little underhanded flip on his takes for no good reason. Finish strong. Too bad he is texhnically very poor in his mechanics and they really hurt him

Yeah, I don't disagree. That was the point I was trying to make. He wasn't playing aggressively enough on offense. He' was deferring to Markus too much, and he's not the only one. Sacar has a habit of being passive on offense at times. Both Koby and Sacar showed more aggressiveness today driving to the hole but they just didn't finish consistently. Koby hurting his thumb doesn't help matters. That's why I noted his decent stat line the two games before the injury. It was the last thing Koby needed right as he was starting to contribute more offensively. The Creighton game was Koby at his worst offensively, the Villanova game was Koby at his best. The team needs to get the median of those two games from Koby every night to be successful. And he still needs to do " the little things ".

Yeah that was poorly worded, though I do stand by my point about Koby looking better in the two games before he hurt his thumb. And notice I said decent and for two games. I didn't even include the Purdue game because I felt it was an outlier. I did not suggest he had been playing well the entire preseason. He was playing like a utility player not like a stud combo guard. I thought he was easing into the offense and not trying to step on anyone's toes( egos ya know ). I also believe the thumb injury right before the Creighton game affected his play. He bounced back in the Villanova game but everything was going in for him that game. I posted after the game that I was hopeful but skeptical of a repeat performance. I have no idea how bad the thumb is so I'll cut him some slack on his misses at the rim, but if it is leading to missed shots Sacar may need more minutes at the point. Obviously Wojo doesn't trust Symir yet.

Koby was awful last night.  And thumb injury or not some of those layups he threw up there were absolute garbage.  Wojo said something about "funny shots" on the postgame with Homer and I'm certain he was talking about the Koby layups that didn't go anywhere near the basket.  The kid is athletic and can get to the hoop, but once there he's a waste.

Once Koby has the ball his first instinct to try and hoist a shot. Couple times last night the GOAT was open and Koby took it in his own hands to make a play. I would give the freshman a ton more playing time at the point. He will be needed next year and beyond.

Agreed. Time to put this matter to bed.  He's not any good, and what do we have to lose by playing a freshman at this point?

Koby has been really bad on offense, but Torrence is definitely a liability on defense right now. I'd like to see more of him, but he's the worst backcourt defender we have at this point.

I still think McEwen will end up being very good for us and we need him to be if we are going to get into the tournament with a seed that gives us a chance.  I'm happy with a few more minutes for Torrence, though, I like his mindset with the ball in his hands.
