UI - 77
Purdue - 61

How great would that feel? MSU was preseason #1 for a reason. We wont shoot below 10% from 3 every game(hopefully). We should win this game.
I mean, we went 1-11 from three against Michigan. I hope we get a team that has a coach that draws up some plays for shooters. Can’t just feed the post and hope that they don’t collapse like every other team has done since the Michigan game.Home game, should win, but impossible to predict. Purdue guards. We will struggle to score. Can we slow them down enough to stay in it? Do we get the team that played Michigan or the one that played Miami? More questions than answers. Head says it’s a loss but heart says maybe a win. Too hard to predict.
Read that BBV was spotted with a walking boot and in street clothes, not sure that was written elsewhere on here.
Really, the MSU loss was expected, and they went on a super quick run of about 8-0 in maybe a minute and half to pull from a 10 pt game to an 18ish pt game. We gotta do better, but losing to MSU is not the end of the world.
Fact is, we have to steal a couple away from home. We have a ton of opportunities. But we also have to take care of home court.
Gotta get the three pt shot going. We had some good looks, but Trent needs some sets run for him to get good shots off, doesn't seem like we ever set up for that.
The start of a 4 game win streak.
Any particular kind you recommend? I've tried Elmers but it does nothing to help with the pain of watching the game and my nostrils end up stuck together.We just need more glue guys.
So so true. If officials allow Missouri style D, we better play Missouri style D ourselves. I miss seeing last year's D.Bought tickets to go Sunday. My neighbor, a Purdue fan, is going with me from Indy area. When Keady was coach and I lived in Lafayette for 13 years, Purdoo was my least favorite team...they are still pretty close but would root for them vs Auburn. Hope for the best but Purdue has more pieces than we do. Not sure Kofi can score over Haarms. If officials allow Missouri style defense, we will be in trouble.
If the Fighting Illini are going to return to the NCAA tournament, they’ll likely need to win at least 11 Big Ten games.
