Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[altgeld88]

Jake is playing out of his mind.

 

[FloridaMan]

That pass by Belo is elite touch. Wow. And then the near steal. Think he's back

Kofi has to be quicker to finish those. Too much time trying to gather for a monster dunk.

Pretty bad. Scratch that. VERY BAD Charge call there. Both feet were still moving at contact.

Gotta work on that euro step, RJ, BUT good minutes otherwise.

*in regard to the RJ "charge"*

 

[altgeld88]

We look good. Papi looks good. Me happy.

 

[Turpin & Tate in 2008!]

Nice play, Jake!

 

[Illini_Jack]

Wow, what a take by Plummer

 

[LoveLovie]

Curbelo is all hustle

 

[DICKnaggie]

We are playing at an ELITE level right now for a second half team...

 

[DeonThomas]

Gotta call this a very good /great start!!

 

[azillini1]

My Oh My, we are really playing with high intensity so far.

 

[GallopingGhost]

7 pt lead I’ll take that allll night.

And please let’s keep it all night

 

[skyIdub]

lol... the "F" in DMW was the tell. You, of all people SKY

It's my hair trigger DMFW defense mechanism.

 

[AdamFletchersBicep]

Officiating looks fair so far

 

[jumpingjack]

This game I should've taken a Xanax

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Edey is an absolute load.

 

[JimILL75]

Best effort this year! Good mix of players off the bench to keep everyone up to speed.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Pretty bad. Scratch that. VERY BAD Charge call there. Both feet were still moving at contact.

Not surprised at all with a freshman out of control into Stef there.

Overall, officiating has been stellar so far … if a little tight on screens.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Sure love me some RJ! Can't wait to see him play 30+ min. and get in the flow. Star in the making.

 

[PassingBy]

Holding PU to 42% is great

35% would be better and the target

- your arm chair QB

 

[sully]

Curbelo is flat out fearless! Also what a great steal!

And as I type this Kofi gets called for a ticky tacky foul. Ugh life on the road in the Big Ten I guess. Comes with the territory even though it shouldn't. Oh well lets go Illini!

 

[BRucks]

9-4 on rebs

Excellent start. Looks like a good ball game for the next 1.5 hours. Keep that way, zebras.
