Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue
- Status
So we get Purdue’s best shooting effort of the year today huh?
Well if we when today, we know we would beat them at their best.

Was about to say. Feels like we get the best of Purdue and the best of Mackey every year.
This is what happens when your already shaky defense loses its objectively best defender. Can we EVER get a season where we remain healthy the whole season?? These big injuries always seem to happen to us at the most crucial time of the season too, not like, at the beginning of the season where we play mainly cupcakes. Ugh...
They're going to hang 100+ on us. We're not taking anything away. I figured the zone would be our best shot, but if you can't keep the ball out of the middle of the paint, it's a disaster. Purdue kicks it out, we're slow rotating, two skip passes and a wide open looks.
We can't guard them straight up.
It's easy to complain in front of the TV, but not sure where to go defensively.

Keep it close and we can get them late
when AS is off, he is awful
Will anyone else step up?
I understand Illinois is the underdog, but why does this underwhelming performance always happen when they're underdogs?
Where is the intensity? Defense bad.

Feel like Ben is better contested than wide open.
Keep chopping wood and try to play better defense.
I'm not- we let them feel themselves offensively- and this time it's not just one player- it's their whole team
Tomi is unplayable
Our defense is atrocious
No Wagler, no offense.
No Boswell, no defense.
