Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[DeeIL89]

Illinois in the bonus

Players= Lets keep shooting the 3.

Smh

How are we going to let Tomi guard Braden at the top of the key

And his eyes were the only set of eyes on the ball. Absolutely ZERO help when the millions of people tuning into this game knew Smith was gonna drive to the rim…atrocious…

 

[RockfordIllini]

Ben actually played TKR pretty well. So we put Tomi back on him. Why did we go away from what was working?

 

[OrangeKrush1981]

Layup drills for Purdue. Grrrr. I wish we had a plan on defense.

 

[illiram]

When can we get instant replays in college basketball to combat the low IQ of these referees?

[IllinifaninFL]

My goodness...do something to stop the boy. Defense coming from our guards is unimpressive tonight.

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

Calling that a foul is criminal. Just brutal

 

[DeeIL89]

Our lack of front court depth is so obvious. Ugh.

 

[blife]

Why was Tomi on Smith at the top of the Key? This group is completely discombobulated. Change up this line up

 

[Chiieeff]

We need a spark

 

[kyillinifan]

Drive the ball. . They are in the bonus. Much like the Mi State game. Go on a run.

 

[Oracle21]

Purdue simply runs way better stuff. They are better coached period.

 

[Da88]

lol that was all dang ball

Yep

 

[New Creation]

They aren't going to call a travel on him are they?

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Am I the only one getting tired of watching Purdue run a layup drill while we stand and watch?

 

[HailtotheChief]

We don’t want your stupid makeup calls, you gifted them 3 points.

A chance to cut it to 2 or 3 yanked away for a 3 pt gift from the ref. Huge f up and just sucks when calls like that kill our little run.

Can’t wait until we can stop hearing about Hamer..

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

Has DGL made a three in B10 play? Why is he shooting those?

Well he is 25 of 96 for the season. 1 of them has to be in a big 10 game

 

[Deep]

Horrible defensive plan
They have 3 main guys.
We let them all get off.

We deserve this and a 8 seed to get our !!! kicked in nccca tournament

we continually get owened in coaching

I'm going to go back to drinking

 

[robow7]

How to lose a game:
Allowing so many layups on simple screens run right up the lane.
Over half our shots are 3's and we're hitting at 21% rate.
Seen this movie before

 

[OB positive]

We literally have one rebound and 0 points from our bench. WTH

 

[bjp84]

Other than Wisconsin, have we had a big home win this year?

Indy, can you confirm if anyone on staff is ever even aware when we’re in the bonus?! We were with over 12 to go vs. MSU, and we never shot another FT … that’s just negligence.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Can Aaron Henry coach basketball defense?
