Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[Juju]

They've GOTTA cool down with making all these shots at some point in this game, right? RIGHT???

Please, sweet baby Jesus...

KW allowed us to weather this initial storm.. will need the rest of the team to show up if we’re going to keep it close

I hope you're right. The way this defense is playing, it very well may be a 24 hour storm.

 

[logjam]

Have to run some offense...

 

[Oracle21]

Not if most of them are dunks. Almost all their points are uncontested paint points

 

[skyIdub]

His beard is disconnected.

We have 2 favorable matchups. When they're big man switches on to Keaton and when our big man has Smith in the post. We've taken advantage of one of those matchups. I'd like to see Smith guard and get in foul trouble or they have to double it.

Purdue running much better offense. Purdue’s PG slicing and dicing is. We look slow and our offense isn’t getting any looks. Thank goodness Wagler can play.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Ben still can't hit a damn shot.

 

[IlliniAlumnus]

Traveling allowed if you're wearing a white uniform...

Z's mental slump from last game is continuing.

I strongly disagree. He's had the 3 best defensive possessions for us today.

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

6 point swing Ben…

 

[TheodoreRex]

Man, great ball movement- wide open great shot for Ben... BRICK- short every time.

No one else but Wagler shoot, like seriously.. I'm not kidding.

 

[New Creation]

Love the zone defense

 

[illinifan1987]

And I say yet again...
Wagler=Freshman

 

[CDRUSN]

When not running the point for Purdue, Braden Smith plays bass for this band, with Cluff on drums.

 

[FloridaMan]

Once again, if BH is not hitting shots he really adds nothing.

KW is our guy going off, finally!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Other than Z, we are playing no defense at all. None.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Jake and Ben on the floor at the same time will always suck.

On both ends.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Jake needs to be sitting. I love him but he's getting destroyed out there

 

[FoundersClub]

My god does anyone want to defend?

 

[ginabackes00]

Good Lawd Wagler

 

[blife]

Of course we get Purdonts A+++ offensive game

 

[CleverHandle1]

Yay, give them open three's. Great defense! Lol! Ben!

 

[FloridaMan]

That's it Ben!

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

Ben is 100x better under pressure….
