Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[Kendall Gill’s Uncle]

Rodgers is doing nothing. Is every team going to put their center on him now? I’d almost at least like to see him shoot a three to see what happens.

 

[Rusty]

Maybe it is the beer but I still feel there is a run left in this team. NBA like.

 

[KC_Illini]

Has Edey ever been called for offensive 3 seconds in the lane? I’ve focused on him this entire half and they could’ve called it on him just about every possession.

Edit: finally got caught up on the thread and realized I’m not the only one here with this realization

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Damn CH looked small in that pic next to Edey

 

[LJ22]

We beat KU this year. All the rest is gravy.

That's what I'm reminding myself of every single game.

Purdue has found a way to bring the runaway Illini offensive train to a screeching halt. But when the Boilers have a full head of steam going, I am not sure we could ever slow them down much. Illini have a ton of scorers but the night belongs to the PU scoreres.

I still like this Illini team. I see them trying to play their game that has been so effective, but this game was not going to be won. Yet, I expect them to return to form rapidly. I hope.

What else is on?

 

[FeelYourPaign]

How does Edey not trip over those tent stakes he puts down in the lane?

Jesus, ty..

 

[skyIdub]

Good night.

I retract all of my pre game over confidence. Terrible effort. Back to trust issues.

 

[SaintLIllini]

rodgers should atleast act like he’s about to shoot

Brad: TAKE. TY. OUT. OF. THE. GAME.

Just like some games aren’t Dain games, this is clearly not a Ty game

 

[IlliniTaffy]

Edey hasn't even had an impact

 

[Ryllini]

Ty will be better from this game. He played way too tight. Almost scared to make a mistake - very uncharacteristic.

Correct.. Harmon or DGL needs to be in.

 

[madillini4]

Gonna wanna burn the tape on this one

 

[Bigtex]

It's pretty shocking to me that someone at this level of basketball can't shoot a jumper.

And not great shooting layups or at the basket

 

[LoveLovie]

Ty is a liability if he doesn’t develop a jump shot…at least against top teams

 

[D1959]

Men against boys right now

 

[Fighting I 95]

Rodgers cant even hold on to the ball to make a layup. I love him, but its been a rough one for him.

 

[PrideOfGreenSt]

Players that can’t shoot kill you against teams that scout well. Never win this game with Rodgers on the court.

 

[Illiniindian]

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

Remember, this is an away game.

Unfortunately, my thought exactly.

 

[Jimbo]

Yeah, not Ty’s best day. I’ve had bad days at the office. It happens.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Ty will be better from this game. He played way too tight. Almost scared to make a mistake - very uncharacteristic.

Or he'll be worse because other teams will emulate what Purdue is doing.
