Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[redwingillini11]

Beat Purdue. I need revenge.

 

[roger murdock]

So it's a position-less basketball kind of day. Amiright?

Not if you have an Edey on your team…

One listing tied teams alphabetically, the other by overall record?

Reasonable theory, so much so that I had to check them out, but alphabetically Iowa would be the 3 and Mich, Mich st would be ahead of NW.

Win percentage Michigan would be in 8th, Iowa and MSU in 6th and 7th.

I wish the official tie breaker was by alphabet

Gamesmanship?

Since Purdue has clinched, maybe the rest a few players a little more than normal. Edey goes for 28 and 16. MM goes for 26 and TSJ for 24.

Illini 76
Purdue 75

In most situations, I might have a tendency to agree with you, but a loss puts Purdue on the 2 line and UCLA on the 1. Plus, it's Senior Day. We really don't have anything to lose, they do. Going to be a challenge to say the least.

[aaeismacgychel]

To win, we're going to need Dain to have a big game. He has to get a body on Edey before Edey can get offensive positioning and use he lower body to keep bumping him so he can't get to the block. If the refs call a ticky-tack kind of game, that will go pretty poorly for us, so hopefully they allow for a decent amount of contact today. Then we need to really guard the three, be very quick with our doubles on Edey, and put forth the effort on the boards. Important to start fast. Let's get this one.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Glad we are doubling Edey. Gotta do that every single time he touches it.

 

[New Creation]

take DD out now and put in TY

 

[Flyin' Illini]

I don't know if I can watch this today.

 

[madillini4]

Stellar start

 

[BBlock24]

This is going to be ugly.

 

[Epsilon]

Ugh

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Absolutely beyond brutal start

 

[Gunner23]

Not an ideal start...

 

[Illini8420]

TSJ needs a shot of Monster sheesh

 

[BWBW]
