Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[OB positive]

Goode has struggled scoring since becoming a starter.

Ty is close to unplayable with Edey on the floor. It increases Edey’s effectiveness and decreases Ty’s. As much as Ty can affect the game with his rebounding, he can’t in this case…

 

[Ryllini]

This could be reviewed at the next dead media timeout and guys, stop worrying about getting your shot blocked

 

[punchabove33]

Well, I hope that counts.

It won't. Dang it all.

Does not

 

[LoveLovie]

Northwestern has it figured out…why can’t we

 

[D1959]

Worst possible start imaginable

 

[hoopsfan47]

Deja Vu....all over again.

 

[JSpence]

Not loving this.

 

[skyIdub]

Just an absolute complete disaster start.

Northwestern has it figured out…why can’t we

They have a point guard

Didn’t think we’d win, but sure didn’t think we’d look like a high school team out there.

 

[Battle89]

I thought playing with house money looked different

All spent 5 minutes into the game

 

[sacraig]

I don't get it. Hawkins had drawn Edey out to the arc, then beat him on the dribble but stopped without going to the hoop and passed instead.

 

[Chad Fleck]

All I wanted was a competitive game. This is disappointing.

 

[PNWIllini]

Weak travel call on Hawkins

 

[PrideOfGreenSt]

Ty is an absolute liability against teams that scout us well. Can’t play 4 on 5. Love the kid but can win this way

 

[Goillinikobd]

80 - 16 ?

 

[jimbo72]

I was thinking 75-58 bad guys, Could be worse. Ouch, Ugly.

 

[GallopingGhost]

I think we are already cooked

 

[IlliniTaffy]

Edey's not even done much yet lol

 

[FloridaMan]

Guys, you are getting absolutely smoked on the boards. Ya, Edey is big, but we are losing the effort battle big time. Step it up!

 

[Illinifan55]

Our gameplan has been to drive in the paint and hope to shoot around Edey... maybe we should look to change that?
