Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[NASchamp]

Help defense is not a concept we coach at Illinois I guess

 

[Ryllini]

I’m waiting for someone to mention us to go zone.

Ivisic can not guard Ren put Humrichous on him

Willing to try anything but the same old !!!!

Okay the Krush have definitely been celebrating unofficial. Nobody looks even remotely sober, lol

 

[ejam21]

how is that action they just broke down in slow mo not a moving screen?

 

[CDRUSN]

Painter is showing why he is the best Xs and Os coach in the B10, and a great motivator as well. His teams play with great hustle, purpose, and sound defense. He is also baiting the Illini into shooting 3s, knowing we can't make them with any consistency.

How many times have we seen this show before?

 

[Olaf B]

Poor play turning into dumb play.

 

[NASchamp]

The multiple moving screens by Smith not getting called is criminal. The elbows from TKR are also so blatant.

They would annihilate a zone.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Riley has been making outstanding decisions with his distribution today

 

[FloridaMan]

Great pass KJ!

 

[biglug58]

See, good things happen when we go to the hoop!

 

[kellenk44]

Why don’t we ever try zone defense? I know the answer (underwood never changes). I’d also love to see a press or trap once in a while too.

 

[DeeIL89]

wow attacking the basket does us good. Who would have thought?

We’ve ran multiple different ball screen coverages…..Tomi getting eaten alive

 

[Iloveorangekoolaid]

We can lose this game or let Braden Smith get a triple double. Both things cannot happen

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Smart drive by Kylan. Need to keep racking up fouls

 

[Epsilon]

Smith walked on that last play. Up and down.

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

Drive the ball. Draw a foul. Get to the line.
Rinse and repeat.

 

[SuperMetroid]

No more threes. They can’t stop us going to the hoop

 

[Jon]

Get to Double bonus by the under 8 time out and I like our chances

Can't wait for Morez to get back...
