Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[New Creation]

Can Dain please attempt to grab a rebound… take him out of this game

 

[Champaign88]

Did anyone tell our guys that Edey is out and we should be able to get a rebound?

 

[FloridaMan]

Smith had 26 against Arizona.

I knew there was a good reason for my dislike

 

[LoveLovie]

They are so much better

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Yikes.

 

[madillini4]

Not gonna win being this lackadaisical on the glass

 

[PrideOfGreenSt]

Seen enough of Dain

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Not rebounding at all. Purdue out hustling us.

 

[skyIdub]

Nobody crashing the boards.

 

[sacraig]

This is a good game now. It's a shame we dug ourselves such a hole.

Apologies for typing this. I think I jinxed us.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Good grief, rebound!

 

[WeWillWhen]

Oof. Getting killed on the glass is the biggest issue here.

 

[Kendall Gill’s Uncle]

I hope everyone that was crying about Dainja playing is happy because he just missed about 6 rebounds in a 2 minute stretch

 

[FloridaMan]

This is why Dain doesn't get minutes. Gotta get boards

 

[Deep]

GET A !!!!ING REBOUND!!!!

 

[Epsilon]

You can see why this is the number one team in the country.
Geez. Can’t get a break.

 

[GallopingGhost]

Illinois looks gassed. Guess we shouldn’t have run the score up on northwestern.

Lol

 

[abchew2]

there is no excuse for giving up these 3s with Edey sitting. Disappointing showing on the defensive end.

 

[illiniguy24]

Man very frustrating to fight all the way back just to waste it all from Purdue out hustling us

 

[blife]

for all the people wondering why DD doesn't get more tic, I give you exhibit 1, the last 3 minutes of play

 

[IlliniTilDeath]

Oof. Getting killed on the glass is the biggest issue here.

With Edey missing too…

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

I've gotta credit Purdue, they want this game.

 

[Chad Fleck]

QG gets himself in the lane sometimes, and just kind of flips the ball towards the rim while falling down.

I don't like that.

 

[Chickenmane]

So many wide open threes

 

[azillini1]

If Purdue shoots a lot of threes at a 70% clip... yeah, they can have this one.

If they kill us on the boards without Edy, then we have no chance. Just not blocking out now or hustling for loose balls.
