Great start, and so far they’re letting them play. I’ll take no calls on each team instead of fouling out key players any day.

We do so much better when the perimeter shot comes after working the ball inside
Being relevant enough for a crowd to get this jacked up when we visit is so nice.

Man, they're gonna chant that airball thing again. The ONLY thing good that came out of the No-fans-due-to-COVID year in 2021 was no airball chants.
The number of screens for stefanovic and williams making great passes, Trent has has work cut out him tonight

Really good first 4 minutes. Can we keep it up for another 36?
!!!!Great first four min. of college basketball. Won't make this pace for the whole game but pretty much NCAA SS like energy in the building. Illini focused and really focused on defense.
Love our intensity, we're so ready for this game.

IMO these Purdue fans are really gonna regret heckling Trent Frazier with those "air ball" chants and I am perfectly fine with them doing it because its going only add fuel to his fire (Trent is a gamer)

Good first 4, airball aside
Gonna be a battle. This is fun
Trent had a good look..dang it. Good start anyway
Loosiers did that to Trent. Didn't work out to well
for them.
