[BRucks]

Shouldn’t that have been a 5 second violation on the ball holder ? Plummer got called for that against Arizona

No

God, this is fun!!!

Tyus Edney, UCLA to beat Florida, I think, ncaa tourney. Curbelo makes a difference

Nice reference!

Was Grandy sitting for a while?

2 fouls?

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Lot of love to go around, but BBV is my player of the first half.

With Plummer, obviously

It takes 3 Purdue engineers to change a scoreboard light bulb. One to hold the bulb, and two to turn the ladder.

 

[Nuke Dukem]

How 'bout our bench?

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Basil Hayden for the "W." How's everybody else staying calm?

Who was that coast-to-coast for UCLA v. Miznoz in '95 tourney at the buzzer for the win? Tyus Edney? He was the poor man's AC.

[EDIT: Someone beat me to it]

Some halftime entertainment:

Tyus

I thought that we had to hold Purdue under 35% from behind the arc to win.

Purdue currently at 33.3%.

 

[MaineIllini]

If you’re PU you gotta stop the ball on that last possession. Huge by Curbelo but they can’t let him go coast to coast there. Looking (hoping) for that momentum to carry into second half.

 

[BRucks]

After a lot of freaking out up in here, we're leading. We've made exceptional halftime adjustments all season. We'll make them here, too. I like our chances.

Watch for Frazier to come out shooting

Kofi needs to come out in the 2nd half with his hair on fire! He only has 6 points and 3 rebounds. We need 15 and 10 and we win this one.

 

[frozenrope9190]

Man, this is fun. These are the two best teams in the B10, bar none. Wisconsin is a clear 3.

Love that gif. You can tell our players would run thru a brick wall for Coach Underwood and how much he cares about our guys. Its so refreshing to see and I couldn't be more thrilled that he is our head coach.

Lets beat the boilers! GO ILLINI!

What's a "ball holder"?

 

[Illiniam1984]

They need to play Grandison more in the 2nd half. His veteran presence is key.
