Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[Da88]

Giving them way to many second chances without Eady in. That's a killer.

 

[Chillinini]

Quit complaining and grab a rebound. Edey is out. Do something!

 

[Fighting I 95]

Some of these offensive rebounds we are giving up are infruriating. We have position and are still not gettng it. Brad should be laying into them.

 

[BRucks]

25-15 on rebounds

 

[hoopsfan47]

LOL....we have seen the Illini play at the extremes of their bell curve in the last two halves. Playing number ONE in Mackey is a lot different on the psyche than at the Assembly Hall.

 

[RockfordIllini]

Gotta rebound better. But other than that Smith is killing us. Dre has done the best job staying in front of him so far. We may need more Dre this game.

 

[tpaillini]

Dain, BE COMPETITIVE. you’ve put in the work. make it matter.

 

[chrisRunner7]

I hope we get our starters back in for the rest of the half... Ty would be getting some of these rebounds for sure

 

[Mr. Roberts]

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

Getting their second loss this early would be brutal. They need this game. We want this game. It's showing.

The amount of posters here who can't spell Edey is a worrying trend

 

[illinigiant80]

I hope we all now understand how important Coleman Hawkins is to this offense, even when he’s not scoring.

 

[KingWolf11]

They are so much better

The gap between how much more they want it is bigger than the gap between how much better they are than us.

 

[TheGMan]

Does anyone here know how to spell Edey?

 

[LoveLovie]

The gap between how much more they want it is bigger than the gap between how much better they are than us.

Which is just as sad

Autocorrect most likely.

Absolutely, the focus should be maximizing during Edey time off the floor and letting the chips fall when he's playing. It's been a gift to have him out... Dain yes, but with Coleman.

Not playing smart basketball and getting out hustled

 

[Eternal Optimist]

We are still in striking distance. Not that it’s the norm, but Purdue did lose to Northwestern. We can still win this game.

Damask getting roughed up by his former teamate

 

[New Creation]

We are beating ourselves… that is the the most frustrating thing.

 

[Champaign88]

Ty could get some rebounds for us but has been on the bench. Ty’s minutes should be the exact opposite of Edey’s. Not sure why it took so long to get him back in when we are getting out hustled.

 

[PopChampaign]

down by 5 in a blink of an eye damn near down 20 with Edey on the bench thats unacceptable

 

[PopChampaign]

imagine your former teammate knows your game inside and out. . . . .

 

[TheGMan]

Autocorrect most likely.

Haha I know. Just making a joke

 

[CDRUSN]

If only there were a magic cooly delicious liquid that could blur out these lapses where the Illini work their way back into this, then get brain freeze and forget how to hustle or do anything right.
