Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

[Second place is 1st loser]

Wagler is tired

Always the concern when riding one guy and not having the depth for rest.

 

[DeeIL89]

Another missed corner open 3 from us. Ugh.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

We're just missing wide open 3s right now

 

[ILLFAN67]

That was a flop. He pushed after he was falling

 

[New Creation]

why the hell is Andre still “guarding” Braden

 

[NorthShoreIllini]

68 all we don’t call a timeout then get cooked on 2 defensive possessions. Terrible stuff from this staff

 

[Zorak]

Good God could someone make a shot besides Keaton

 

[JJE]

Free throws are gonna haunt us

 

[ILL-Intentions]

5 on 8, just call it fair even if it’s bad on both sides. I don’t think it’s been that bad if you take out a few flops

 

[FantaIllini]

I hate how good Braden smith is

 

[FloridaMan]

Ref when Keaton gets fouled

 

[jrum48]

Best guard in the country!

 

[CogDog]

Time to swing back.

 

[NASchamp]

So many open threes down the stretch.

 

[chiefini]

Smith doesn’t like being shown up by Keaton. He’s looking for his shot now…

 

[OB positive]

Our decision on defense to not hedge on the screens for Smith will cost us this game. You gotta get the ball out of his hands period.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Please FFS go zone

 

[IlliniAlumnus]

Again with the free throws...we'd be ahead if we could hit these.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Our non-Waglers are 5 for 23 on threes

 

[skyIdub]

NO CHICKEN FOR YOU

 

[ChiTown]

We’re losing this game on the free throw line.

 

[BrownTown]

BenHum ...

 

[NarrowJ]

Illinois 7-12 from FT line this half

Not good enough

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Wagler is tired

Yeah. Hands on his knees and missing free throws now. He is exhausted.

 

[illiniguy24]

Afraid Keaton is gonna be gassed the rest of the way
