Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[NarrowJ]

Now its back to where it will actually sting a bit if we lose. We have been the better team for 70% of the game. It's just that the 30% that we were not, we were so bad we were -25 pts in those 2 stretches to begin the game and end the half.

 

[FloridaMan]

The 1st/2nd half splits - both stats and effort - of this team are unreal

 

[BRucks]

What is Hawkins saying to Painter?

 

[InDaAZ]

Is a 24-point second-half comeback win against the #5 team in the toughest arena too much to ask for?

Is it

 

[Goillinikobd]

Where the he** has this team been all year ?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Edey has travelled about 7 times

He's a prancing pony out there. I guess they've been consistent when it comes to not calling it, lol

 

[Retro62]

I think Coleman just went to apologize to Painter for inadvertently hurting the PU player

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Does Edey only have 1 made FG this half?

 

[dbeverly26]

Zero Fs given by this team right now, but in a good way

 

[grantlab]

Win or lose, whatever. No sour taste in my mouth heading into the postseason.

 

[Rich]

My bad guys. I turned on shortly before half time and Purdue just started hitting everything.

I stopped watching and now I see that we've closed the gap but I'm too scared to turn on the game due to my curse

 

[battle]

why do the refs think that ball on ground means its football - numerous times today they just pile onto us and then try to reach for ball

 

[AyoDos11]

We should just start every game down 20.

What is Hawkins saying to Painter?

Lol I thought he was talking to Underwood before seeing Painter's face

 

[IlliniSon]

We’re coming back!! We CAN do this!!

 

[Aldy1955]

Very proud of them Fightin Illini

What is Hawkins saying to Painter?

I'd like to know more about this too.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Edey might be getting fouled, but he is definitely traveling.

I think all this traveling is throwing him off hilariously. He's like, wait, how did I get all the way here on the other side of the hoop?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Win or lose, whatever. No sour taste in my mouth heading into the postseason.

I'm usually not a moral victories kind of guy, but today...I am. Great fight.

 

[Bigtex]

Hopefully most of the audience was at church for the first half. 2nd half for national audience has had energy, defense, adjustments and making plays

 

[FloridaMan]

We should just start every game down 20.

Or play a full half before the first half starts?

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Edey has travelled about 7 times

On the last touch!

 

[Retro62]

I'd like to know more about this too.

I honestly think he’s apologizing for rolling their player up

 

[pruman91]

GO ILLINI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
