Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[bjp84]

Domask is the best player on the court tonight. They can’t stop him.

 

[Dragons89]

Under four foul call on us again. This absolutely drives me nuts!

 

[sacraig]

As long as we manage to beat the spread I will consider that a win given how this game started and who we are missing.

 

[GetAWin]

Need to stick with this lineup

 

[IlliniTaffy]

Would have won this with TSJ

 

[WWWWRocU]

Looking like that -10.5 is looking pretty accurate at this point in the game.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

For as poorly as we have played for multiple stretches, it is hard to believe this game is within 10 points. Take away a few of those second chance points Purdue has off offensive rebounds and this would be a really close game.

 

[JSpence]

Would you look at that: 6% spread on 3-pt shooting and we have a ball game. Threes have been THE difference. The whole way. Rebounds feeding threes, otherwise a one-possession game.

 

[americanoutlaw11]

i think harmon should start i think if he played more we could be cliser

Somehow, he was able to deny an entry pass to Edey on 2 straight possessions.

 

[Ryllini]

They shot lights out from 3 and got a career night from Renn, but we have some daylight

 

[SuperMetroid]

Foul the giant out and we got a chance

 

[Ryllini]

Is 9 good enough??

With Domask heating up. I'd say this is still a game.

I'll take it

 

[hiberto]

domask has some dawg in him and I love it

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

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

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

 

[CoachHooleyHoo]

Man, gotta love the fight. Horrendous start to both halves. Bad decision to keep Rodgers out there hurt. But not giving up.

Against Purdue definitely because Ty is unplayable. He needs to stick to quick slashes and open threes though, he does not have good handles when trying to play-make or make a move that’s more than a couple dribbles. Limited, but good at what he does if he sticks to it.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

Domask has the silkiest touch around the rim.

 

[spillini]

Lookin at the vegas line

 

[JSpence]

Damn. Bench player with the steal of the game.

 

[FloridaMan]

Here come the zebras. Uncanny

 

[LJ22]

Lane violation, come on.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Nuggets?

 

[TheGMan]

Ooh bailed out on that one

 

[IlliniTaffy]

Closer loss is good news for the metrics

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Oh my god, what a bailout call!!! Oh sorry, we only say that when we foul then on a bad late shot.
