Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[Retro62]

Just don’t need that shot

 

[TonyClifton]

Selfish from Mayer

 

[fatlard]

No flagrant, no foul on TSJ.. wow refs.

 

[BBlock24]

Should’ve been a foul on TSJ’s drive but the whole possession was awful before that. Out of timeout plays continue to be bad.

 

[D1959]

Lack of execution, coming out of timeouts has been an issue all year long

 

[dbeverly26]

Matt had his own plan there

Bump

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

If you do not thing refs affect outcomes you are delusional

Our poor first half affected the outcome far more than the refs.

 

[illinipimp]

Wtf Mayer.

 

[grantlab]

Whatever. Late game execution has been bad all season, but heck of a comeback

 

[Eternal Optimist]

 

[IlliniForceOne]

We win this game if they call the obvious flagrant on Edey

I'll give you that. The second half? No

 

[Retro62]

Free throws…again

 

[D1959]

Come on Hawkins you’re better than that

 

[IlliniKat91]

Damn, good try, but I really wanted it. Can't put ourselves in these holes

This is it exactly. You can't give up 6 points on 3 turnovers to start the game and try to climb out of a 20+ hole. I'm proud of their fight today, but I think my knock on this team will always be the fact that they couldn't play clean from the start of games

 

[NASchamp]

Free throws guys….

 

[sacraig]

No flagrant, no foul on TSJ.. wow refs.

Shouldn't have been flagrant on Edey. SHOULD have been a foul on the Shannon drive.

 

[ejam21]

Come on Hawkins you’re better than that

probably gassed....but yeah

he was battling edey damn hard this half

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

It’s like tying the game caused a complete meltdown. So disappointing.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Debatable, but I'll give you that. The second half? No

We literally spotted them 23 points If we played anywhere near a level that remotely exhibited competence, we have our bench in running clock right now I refuse to put any of this on the stripes.

It was 8 points on 4 turnovers, I believe. Purdue had a double digit lead 2 and half minutes into the game.

 

[Illini8420]

Well we tried. Next time don’t get down by 24

 

[Goillinikobd]

Ok, now I want a shot at them in the BIG tourney

 

[bjp84]

Good comeback.. bad execution in last minute.

 

[fatlard]

Can we drink more Monsters Energy Drinks to start the game instead of saving it for halftime?
