Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[Champaign88]

5 point game if not for fouling the three point shooter…

 

[Grange Grover]

Loving the fight this team is showing tonight! Big time college basketball game on the road and they’ve fought back and showed some grit that I think will pay off come March! I-L-L

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Why is our whole team bailing out on the missed free throw and not crashing the boards?

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Do they EVER call an over the back on the Xuckxes.

Technically is no such thing as an "over the back"

 

[grantlab]

We’re not gonna win, but this will ultimately go down as a good effort / not concerning. We could’ve easily been 30-pieced

 

[Illinifan55]

Closer loss is good news for the metrics

You right. this close loss won't hurt Purdue's metrics too bad.

Illini 9-0 run coming soon.

 

[Dominant Erupt]

5 point game if not for fouling the three point shooter…

2 point game if cohawks 3 from the first half would have counted

 

[blife]

Incredibly proud of these guys to keep fightin and have a shot with 2 minutes to play. Huge heart on this team

There have been so many mistakes this game by so many players, can do this for anything
takd away colemans 6 assits and we could be 12-15 pts further

 

[Old Farm Illini]

Neutral court, I’m betting on Illinois.

 

[KC_Illini]

Imagine if Kofi got half the calls Edey gets…

 

[Rusty]

How close we gotta get before I get to claim I was right about the comeback? 5?

 

[Chad Fleck]

Harmon putting off a bit of Feliz vibes trying to guard Edey.

 

[JSpence]

I am okay with not fouling if that's our strategy. Try to turn them over on our end.

The Hawkins haters don't always have to look very hard for material.

 

[madillini4]

Do we realize we’re down by 8??? Good lord this is infuriating

 

[FloridaMan]

Can't run out the clock. Come on!

 

[JSpence]

Imagine if Kofi got half the calls Edey gets…

That would be unfair. That would result in fewer beatings on him, which would have made him even more unstoppable.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

That ain’t good

 

[Eternal Optimist]

Regardless of outcome, this is/was a winnable game. Proven we are good with or without TJ. This season is still destined to be special.

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Hope QG is ok
Seems to be shaking it off

 

[WeWillWhen]

Oh no, Quincy. Please be OK.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Not his wrist again.

 

[chiefini]

Hoping Guerrier’s hand/wrist is ok…

 

[illiniguy24]

Why won’t we take a 3??? We aren’t going to win with 2’s right now
