Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[CoalCity]

Geez. It's like they've got the rebounding rims on our basket

 

[dsg]

Man, who put the lid on our bucket?

 

[illini8507]

I can't remember Dakich saying much positive about Leron Black, and he's said a lot about him...

This is true.

 

[Ulysses Everett McGill]

I know our guys are tired but am really surprised Groce is doing nothing to speed up the game. At this point, run and rotate everyone.

Check your logic

 

[GameOfThrows]

Purdue isn't being very nice to us.

 

[ivwilsoniv]

I think we should recruit some big guys.

 

[ATL Chief]

what was that record margin of defeat the other day?

I dont think they are playing slow. you only have so many bodies. WHile he is doing what he can to mix defensive assingments up ....I don't see him going away from what there are.....they have schemes on both sides ...to ask players to do what they have not been doing all year would turn out even worse

Check your logic

I don't think he means pace, I think he's referring to the clock.

I hope anyway. Our legs are out of fuel.

 

[GameOfThrows]

Looking forward to watching Lucas and Abrams play next season - also hoping Tate lives in the gym and weight room starting tomorrow.

If we can get Black back and a 5th year transfer post player (Thorne or someone else), then we'll be competitive, and probably a tourney team with the potential for a Sweet 16 run.

 

[freebird6]

3 s all coming up short. SIgn of tired legs

 

[RML]

Did somebody say we already have the most 20+ point losses in a season since the early 1900s? Will this make it the most in history?

 

[CoalCity]

Even the deadly KN floater in the lane isn't dropping

 

[blmillini]

Check your logic

Staying the course is making a difference!

 

[Second and Chalmers]

I'm not sure I've ever seen a size mismatch this bad between two teams in the same conference. How on earth did we beat this team?

 

[illinitiger]

We are not making them uncomfortable as they run their offense...on the flip side they are making us very uncomfortable in our offensive flow. This is a simple recipe for purdue victory.

Could break record for largest win and loss for the BTT in a matter of days.

41-9 run by the way.

 

[urbanite]

One possession at a time, guys. We just need to outscore them by 2.75 points every minute for the rest of the game to tie.

 

[Hoopster]

11 minutes to go, and we could hold Purdue scoreless the rest of the way and we still have no chance, how bad is that?

 

[illini8507]

They might break our 3 pt record too

 

[IlliniFanHere]

Purdue going for 125 points...NBA style

 

[CoalCity]

Mav is no small guy and Haas makes him look like a little kid. I just can't get over how BIG that guy is.

 

[BlindLoyalty]

What is our largest defeat vs a big ten opponent? Anybody?

 

[Ulysses Everett McGill]

Could break record for largest win and loss for the BTT in a matter of days.

41-9 run by the way.

I guess a Minny PU game would not be very competitive at this point, huh?

 

[CoalCity]

Nice stepunder Finke!
