Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[Keisersose]

On the one hand, it's not sustainable. On the other hand, if Ivey and Edey do their thing in the 2nd half, it doesn't need to be

This

 

[OrangeNBrood]

This like a boxing match right now and we takin blows, legs starting to buckle.

The immediate goal is to make it to the bell still standing...

 

[jumpingjack]

Feel like Plummer is gonna have to go off soon.

 

[CubsWin]

Turnovers, fouls, no rebounding, and nobody wants to shoot. Not a formula for a road win.

 

[redwingillini11]

And we give it right back to a nobody.

 

[bjp84]

We’re too good to get this rattled. Not playing like a first place team.

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

Purdue is an awful defensive team and this is what we look like on offense?

 

[Deep]

For us to win Trent Frazier needs to show up and be a factor offensively

 

[altgeld88]

The score delta is pretty much all form the FT line for Purdue. We need to settle down and we'll be fine.

 

[jumpingjack]

This officiating has been all over the place.

Down less than 10 is still standing in my book

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Come on Trent. We need ya man

He'll get there! He will lead us to the promised land

 

[skyIdub]

Gotta be Trent and Kofi second half.

 

[Chieeeeffffff]

Not taking open shots has tanked multiple possessions and resulted in Kofi’s second foul. Guys have to pull it.

 

[HailtotheChief]

This is do able but it's gonna be tough. Home court is huge. Wish we had held ours vs them

 

[King Snake]

This officiating has been all over the place.

Officiating has been incredible so far.

 

[sully]

blatant no call on Curbelo . call a fair game zebras

Plummer for 3 followed by a boiler 3 followed by an Illini turnover.

While we are still down I am very confident in Coach Underwood's halftime adjustments. Hopefully Coach goes full on Chris Farley "you're going to be living in a van down by the river" mode and gets our boys dialed in for the win.

 

[PapaKvells]

We're out toughing them for loose balls. Our shots just aren't falling. Just keep up the intensity.

Or Plummer or Grandison. We need some outside shooting until Kofi can get back in.

 

[BlueLeader]

We need production from the 4 and 5 position when Kofi isn't on the floor.

 

[jumpingjack]

Btw, I love that Bielema is at the game. Appropriate.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Trent 0-3, 0 pts, 3 turnovers.

Amen. This would be a freebie with no pressure.

 

[PassingBy]

2 things have changed, since the start we had:

1) Our O has cooooooled, from some 55-60% to 40%, and
2) PU has made plenty of free throws and we have not

 

[blife]

Too much Adrenaline. Just too amped up. Need to relax get a nice pace and flow. Too sped up. Fortunately, we still have our best half left .... the second half
