Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[Julie Meinart]

Well they are ranked higher than we are and we have good men on the bench and they are playing at home so...

 

[CentralILLini]

Lifelong fan…this has blowout feels to it.

 

[IlliniGrad93]

Tomi needs to show up!!!

 

[Illini From Michigan]

Awful awful defense

 

[foby]

We really miss BAM today

 

[New Creation]

What line up is in right now! Come on Brad !!

 

[Scoregasm]

Tomi is overwhelmed in this game....get Z back in.

 

[thehass]

Our defense has a lot to be desired so far.

 

[ginabackes00]

SMH Tomi

 

[IlliniFan42]

We keep having multiple guys in the paint and still failing to get the rebound.

 

[ThePortalMadeMeDoIt]

There are levels to this and Purdue is on another one. Just like Mackey is on another one.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Cluff

 

[NASchamp]

Does anyone on Purdue NOT scream at the top of their lungs on every possession?

 

[JJE]

I have a feeling this is going to get ugly by halftime.

 

[curtmoss]

Offense? Please?

 

[Oracle21]

Mayer is pretty good

 

[TheodoreRex]

Team not named Wagler, 2/12... my gosh. someone, anyone, show up

 

[HailtotheChief]

Purdue is really chest bumping drivers off balance and refs allowing it.

 

[ginabackes00]

Let's make some offensive adjustments please

 

[IlliniFan42]

That was a great show to obtain three points

 

[ILL-Intentions]

How is it that Mirk has Smith in the paint and we don’t even try to post. T just airballed instead

 

[FloridaMan]

Guys, there is a reason teams seem to always shoot well against us. We present NO pressure to anybody other than someone under the basket when Z is in the game. On the other side, look how many difficult shots we are forced to take. It severely diminishes our ceiling.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Huge offensive rebounding there

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Well, that possession had to be even more frustrating for them than us

 

[illiniguy24]

Let’s go! Some effort!
