Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[Ramrod2010]

I want hair like Matt Haarms

Not the face, just the hair.

 

[RIVERCITYCHIEF]

Too many Tos.

 

[Miles Leonard]

TO's piling up on us

 

[Illinidpm]

Getting hosed on the calls, no georgi, no Alan... and still up 2 on the road. We can’t buy a call. This is horrible on the calls.

 

[skyIdub]

Turnovers and fouls. AG isn't costing us this game. He just turned the momentum.

 

[Btpk]

Would be nice if they would call fouls against Purdue

 

[illini2002]

9 TO already...

 

[RIVERCITYCHIEF]

Ugh we are killing em on the boards of it vvv.cvv we cantvturn it over!

 

[TheGMan]

9 TO already...

It’s easy to play smothering defense when you can hack away and not get called for anything

 

[oldschool51]

If we do not have the lowest basketball IQ of any team in the NCAA we have to be top 10

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

With our turnovers and the foul discrepancy, it's a miracle this game is close. Win the rock fight.

 

[PNWIllini]

These announcer hot takes on “illinois is a better team with Cockburn out of there” ... brilliant analysis.

 

[skyIdub]

Man Ayo needs to work on his handles.

 

[PNWIllini]

We need to handle the road.

 

[Smittyillini]

Ugh

 

[Illinidpm]

There were 3 body foul calls on the last play... and they called the one that wasn’t really a foul..

 

[RIVERCITYCHIEF]

Finally got a call they are hand checking n pushing. That's why Kofi lost that lob he was pushed on the catch

 

[Deleted member 9739]

Our decision-making is killing us right now. We should be up but we are beating ourselves

 

[Hopingfor500]

I just don't want a loss and the team tearing him down. Confidence is everything. I would love to see Jones and Nichols step up, and it to be a positive for other players.

Normally, I'd agree with you. That was so egregiously bad....he deserves all the negativity that comes with making that choice.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

I can’t understand why the Big Ten pays for travel expenses for officials. Would there really be any difference if they just pulled three fans from every home crowd to call the game?

 

[TCTORNADO]

NW 36 Maryland 21 with 3:00 to go in 1st

 

[Retro62]

Don’t let it go to pieces at the end of the half.

 

[illini2002]

that are fouling us.. not gonna get one call tonight

 

[illini2002]

They almost did not call that carry...

 

[illini2002]

There we go! nice pass AYO and 1 by kofi.. lets make this FT
