Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[PopChampaign]

Coleman complaining at the half to the ref summed it up for me... I'm gone guys, good luck smh utter dissapointment, if we come back to win I'll eat crow but the way we match up... no way... I-L-L

 

[DB11Headband]

Edey 2 points in the 1H and down 15

 

[LoveLovie]

Humbled.. we aren’t close sadly. Mackey makes our place sound like church.. sorry

 

[WeWillWhen]

How the heck did the Nerds beat these guys?

I think that people are afraid they post this, but I will.

Purdue is really, really good. They're going to be the favorites to win the whole thing.

The spread was -10.5 for a reason

Meh. They shot lights out and we played pretty awful for 15 minutes of the half.

 

[tpaillini]

one thing about Coleman: when he makes mistakes, he makes MISTAKES.

 

[RML]

Were we down 20 at the half last year?

 

[Neidermeyer]

Just dumb

 

[GallopingGhost]

That’s ok guys they only get their best player back in the next half..

 

[Epsilon]

So… how do we fix this?

 

[Flyin' Illini]

I mean, the foul was really bad…but trying to sell that as a flop? C’mon, Coleman.

It's true that the shooter was kind of falling down on his own... BUT Coleman came down right on top of him.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Coleman...

 

[Bigtex]

Interested in seeing what adjustments are made.

 

[SaintLIllini]

harmon should play over rodgers this half

 

[HailtotheChief]

Purdue has 21 points on 10 3pt attempts and 7 more rebounds than we do. We must change that to have a chance.

There is no way we are outscoring Purdue by 16 in the second half...

Chalk up this L as a learning experience. We could have been competitive. We chose to play small and reserved...

 

[TyroneHogglegg]

Almost halftime time for the Purdue Kissing cousins cam…

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Humbled.. we aren’t close sadly. Mackey makes our place sound like church.. sorry

Always has, imho. Low ceiling, half the diameter, fans crammed together on benches - it's built to be loud.

So… how do we fix this?

Circle March 5th on the calendar?

Meh. They’ll bow out early like they do every year. Can’t play tournament games at home

How the heck did the Nerds beat these guys?

They had a game plan and they stuck to it…right now I really don’t know what our game plan is.

 

[abchew2]

Maybe they felt this was a bit too much house money? Went in like they put all of it on zero out the gate.

 

[Navy_illini]

Can’t be out hustled. They have 9 points off of 2nd chance threes that should have be rebounds. Their guards are bothering ND ours and preventing them from getting clean looks. All that without Edey. We could not score with him on the court

Seems like PU always brings their A++++++++ game against us

Probably going to need a new garbage can in the visitor's locker room.
