Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[ORANGEANDBLUE2011]

Purdue is showing us how important it is to have snipers around the 3 line.

 

[spillini]

Turnover Shannon Jr

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

the line up on the floor is coaching.. so this half is bad coaching via the line up.. yes

OK, coach, what lineup would you put in with the players we have available?

 

[blife]

TSJ not a good day.

 

[Illini8420]

Why is TSJ handling the ball? Omg

 

[CleverHandle1]

I'm sorry, I expect more from Shannon. He's playing like a Freshmen today.

Little non-calls by officials on PU's defense lead to six points for the home team.

 

[and 69 others]

Someone give a positive take on the team

We chuck up a lotta 3s?

 

[Manual3for4peat]

God that wasn’t a foul. Big ten refs are so bad

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Oooof. Turnovers have a problem all year and they're paying for it. TSJ has absolutely killed us in this first half. The lack of a true PG/ball handler needs to be addressed(king of the obvious here).

 

[ILLFAN67]

It’s not the line up either. Our best player has gifted them 8-10 pts

 

[battle]

this is why I hate refs - PU is clobbering us on defense, pushing/pulling on rebounds, numerous moving screens, two kicked balls, and we get called for touches

 

[Rap47]

Coleman is the one who holds this team together and he should have been in the game as soon as edey picked up 2 fouls.

 

[New Creation]

10 TOs this half.. 5 by TSJ..

 

[ILLFAN67]

I’m done!!

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Coleman is the one who holds this team together and he should have been in the game as soon as edey picked up 2 fouls.

Hawkins also has 2 fouls

 

[battle]

again they foul us on the press scrambling for the ball to prevent the TO

 

[Retro62]

Why would you just walk away from a guy who has the ball at the rim

 

[IlliniInIndy85]

Are we under the assumption that the other team will not make any effort to steal the ball?

 

[Epsilon]

10 TOs this half.. 5 by TSJ..

As frustrating as that is, he was never supposed to be our PG. Purdue just taking advantage of that.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Have we never seen a defense play the passing lanes before?

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

It’s hard to fathom how bad this team is defensively. Probably underwood’s worst ever as a HC. It’s really tough to watch

 

[D1959]

If we only had one shooter

 

[battle]

we are colorblind today

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Turnover, Purdue 3
Turnover, Purdue 3

Rinse and repeat.

Can we start the post game thread?
