Can't be much worse.

Just turned it on. Illinois has scored only 4 points in 8 minutes? Guess I’ll watch alternate programming lol.

This is bad. We look completely different than the last couple of games.

They have a point guard

They have a point guard and we beat them by 30

 

[Pikeillinifan]

On pace for what, 20 points today?

 

[NASchamp]

Not sure I can watch a whole game of us playing this bad of basketball and the refs giving the whole Purdue team the Edey treatment.

Also. Cue the inevitable clueless Coleman Hawkins game….not sure where he went after the last few games.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Purdue is +13 on rebounds.

 

[redwingillini11]

Is this a game where we hear afterwards everyone was out for someone’s birthday last night?

 

[abchew2]

Man we are better than this. Losing people on defense and not fighting for boards. House money game but will be pretty demoralized if they don’t turn a switch before half.

Northwestern has it figured out…why can’t we

Pretty simple...Cats shot at home rims....and did not miss much.

 

[TonyClifton]

Could have used a timeout a while ago.

What has he done so bad besides that travel?

I knew it , I just f***ing knew it.........................

This is NOT on the refs

 

[GallopingGhost]

Nah Purdue is just really up for this game. And nothings going right

I'll go back to watching Spy Kids 2 with my kids.

 

[blife]

Purdont can do nothing wrong, we can do nothing right at this point. If we can weather this flurry and get it under 10 by half I will be happy

 

[TampaToo]

Have to figure out how to rebound or it's gonna be a long night

And how to pass, make bunnies, guard, etc.

 

[BTM33]

We are not this bad...

But...

We are this bad tonight. Run a decent offensive set to start.

 

[MAUI DERON]

Illinois looks gassed. Guess we shouldn’t have run the score up on northwestern.

 

[1970 John]

Everything is bouncing Purdue’s way.

 

[RML]

It's amazing how quick to the ball Purdue is. We seem to be just as quick as usual, but it's not quick enough.

 

[Illinifan55]

Edey's not even done much yet lol

all he has to do is stand there on defense. and he's already got 7 (SEVEN) rebounds.

 

[chrisRunner7]

I am just disappointed that we did not seem to plan for what to do when Edey is "guarding" Rodgers. And it's been 8 minutes in this game so far without any adjustment on that front.

Heck, if he is going to play, I would like to see Rodgers set his feet and attempt a straight-on three-point shot from the top of the key, at this point. It can't be too much tougher than a free throw.
