Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[IlliniForceOne]

We love to pass up open looks before proceeding to turn it over.

 

[TonyClifton]

Is it better to take an open three, or dribble into traffic and turn the ball over?

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Turnovers are just suicide in a game like this.

 

[InDaAZ]

Dribble-drive is not Luke’s game…

 

[Gunner23]

That shot has to be taken by CH. Turned an open look into a turnover and runout.

He was worried about many on here that would have gone ballistic because he was chucking 3's...

Agreed, he has to shoot that shot.

Legitimate question with this team. LOL

 

[RML]

The Coleman Pump Fake needs to be retired. The risk is almost never worth the reward.

It actually works against Edey.

 

[Illini in Indiana]

Coleman needs to shoot the 3 (with confidence) with Eddy out of the lane on him

 

[OneTime3]

Wow he got UP there.
CH is an enigma, so good but so many, "WHY!?" moments. Needed to take that shot, was really open.

I don’t know how many CH looks are going to end in a jab-step dribble to the right and turn around and pass it back out. He’s not a great three point shooter, but he’s not quick enough to beat guys off the dribble, so for the love of God just let it fly

 

[NASchamp]

Had a chance to really cut into the lead and went into one of those possessions we like to do where no one can dribble without fumbling it and no one catches the ball cleanly and then we just end up giving it away.

 

[BWBW]

Timely time out.

 

[WWWWRocU]

Seems like we have the most assists on their shots since we pass right to them.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Go on a good run through smart heady play and hard effort to get back in the game, then give up consecutive possessions and points off of bad turnovers. That's unfortunately been consistent all season

 

[blife]

How many times are we going to dribble into collapsing traffic and throw the ball away or get stripped. Dumb basketball. Get it to 9 and then go away from what got you there.

He has 6 assists and 1 turn...
yeah he shouldve shot it though

 

[AyoDos11]

Yes SHANNON!

 

[dbeverly26]

They don’t need your help, ref.

 

[InDaAZ]

There’s the TJ we know and love

 

[LuckyIllini]

Kofi: 203 FTs in 28 games last year
Edey: 205 FTs in 29 games this year

Holy helll what an and 1 by TSJ. My oh my. That looks more like the TSJ we desperately needed to show up from the get go today

 

[dbeverly26]

[Illini8420]

Keep up the intensity

 

[OneTime3]

WauW!
