Game Thread: Illinois at Maryland
- Status
Is Maryland playing with an UnderArmour ball. It looks weird. If we lose, I blame it on the weird ball.
One of the problems with BBV is he’s not a rim protector. Plays nice straight up D on his man.

#weirdball should trend.
I wonder if bbv starting with frazier plummer and grandy for more of a d and rebounder guy. Payne sharing more time with curbelo for more dunking. I base this off absolutely no data, analysis, or research
How steep are those stairs on the right??
BBV playing good D, but seems very hesitant when it comes to scoring the ball.
Exactly what I was thinking.
We need to push them away from the basket
Looks like a Penn State crowd.
A little lazy on defense so far

Sweet lob to Payne from Curbelo!
Williams can't guard scott
He gets good looks, just no finishing ability and confidence seems to play a role.

Not a whole lot of defense so far. Have they missed yet? 
Ayala walked on that three (though I didn’t notice until the replay)
Ayala is playing out of his mind against us once again so far. Need to put a stop to that.
More Marquette Curbelo than Purdue Curbelo so far..

Ayala took 5 steps on that shot.
They can't miss and we are only down 1. Like that Brad is going to the bench early - Purdue looked tired yesterday after that 2OT game, so we need to use our depth.
Perimeter D needs to be better. They’ve shot uncharacteristically well. Curbelo needs to be stronger with the ball.
He was shoved in the back on that lay up he missed
One of the freshman in before Hawkins? Is he still sick?
