Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

Disagree. He's inconsistent, but definitely can put together good stretches.
Out rebounded 24-13. Disappointing effort on defense as well.

Down 15 in a half where we looked like our hair was on fire for the first 5 minutes, we forgot how to rebound (25 vs 18), we made really foolish fouls, we shot awfully (35.5%) and they shot out of their minds from 3 (7 of 10). Common sense would tell us that BU will have everyone take a deep breath and then hopefully motivate them to rebound and play the aggressive defense we’ve seen most of this year. I would also assume they won’t shoot 70% from 3 in the 2nd half. I’m cautiously optimistic that we will play a much more competitive and “connected” half! Go Illini!

As bad as this was/is - it’s one half of one game, on the road, against #1 - let’s all settle down…this doesn’t mean we can’t accomplish everything on the list this year.
It's only one game, right? If Edey gets a lot of 2nd half minutes, I'd be happy to cover the spread at this point.
While I agree with your points, looking at what Illinois crowds have done, I feel like we don’t have that same edge at all. I understand underperforming teams, covid when we are good and all that, but still I think it’s not comparable to where we’ve been. Curious to see the students come back
beautiful. i'm hungry now.Here's a pic of Beef House rolls to ease the pain...
ESPN has 25-18?
Worst take ever
Just wondering if anyone here has ever stood next to a guy the size of Edey? If you have, you know you will never forgot that vivid memory as long as you breathe. And there are bigger guys around!!!
Actually, I think he's been pretty cool. Though yeh, that last play got him hot.
Edey is a clinic on illegal screens.

Exactly. I like him. It just pings my frustration with Weber
His pass was my favorite moment of the game
Rebound and get out and run and attack them at the rim is how we get into this game… let Harmon DGL Quincy Luke & Coleman just go all half. Pressure their ballhandlers and see what happens.
We put 0 of our house money down in the first half without Shannon, let’s throw the mortgage down 15.

Tough to play booty ball and get open looks from kick outs for 3 when Tys man is not guarding him and helping out on others.
Purdue D strategy is so smart in how they’re guarding Rodger’s. Really surprised other teams haven’t done the same. Bogged down the entire offense at the start.
Eh, it's pretty simple- Purdue is playing really well with a lot of energy, and the 3 things they do really well in rebounding, getting 2nd chance opportunities, and shooting the three they've been going off, and to be fair, we're helping them. So far, outside of Guerrier, it's been a rough night for us.
A lot will depend how the teams come out of halftime. With energy, we can claw our way back into this one, but we're going to have to do a hell of a lot better attacking the boards on defense, stopping the bad turnovers and running the offense. And can't give them second chance open threes. Let's whittle this down

Gotta find your man on offensive rebounds. It's the best time for kick out threes, that's elementary basketball.
