Kipper contributed a couple buckets but he is not a division 1 player...he used to be
Somewhat random question...does anyone know who that person is that sits across from the Illini bench at every home game? They always have an orange #1 Illini jersey and a hat and acts like they're one of the assistant coaches. If nobody knows that's fine, I'm just genuinely curious.
I was a little confused by that as wellWtf? How can Purdue call a timeout when we have the ball???
Announcer got confused. I'm pretty sure Griffin called it but the announcer thought he was pointing at Purdue's bench.Wtf? How can Purdue call a timeout when we have the ball???
TV guy got it wrong. PA guy said Illinois TO.I was a little confused by that as well
They didn't, the announcer misspoke. Griffin called the timeout and was near Painter.I was a little confused by that as well
Like a minxShe’s the person who drives everyone crazy
I do not think they played particularly on the plus side of what I expect. Purdue did however. I expect Illini teams to play extra hard on the defensive end and hit 45% of their shots. This team has the athletes to do the defense but not the skills to hit shots with any expected consistency. This should be the norm for the align I was half their games at a higher level. Purdue really isn’t very good this year.Why can't we play like that all the time?
I'm looking all over the place trying to find the jerseyDoes anyone know where I could buy some of these throwback shorts?
Ayo hit the arm on the follow through... I know he hit the ball first, but I think that was the right callThrow in the Ayo block and Kipper charge...
Sparty is schooling the Wolverines. They are good, but more importantly Winston and Tillman are experienced and teaching school. We need to learn and grow.Well, I was totally disillusioned following the MSU game. They made us look like a D3 school. Here's my take on the first half:
* Our defense finally looks like Lou's old "D". Lots of hustle and pressure on the ball
* Lots of good balance on offense. Alan G. needs to play more. We need his consistency from 3-range.
* Purdue played a horrible first half. I've yet to watch them play this season prior to tonight, but I have to assume they're going to shoot better in the 2nd half
* I think we'd be down 8-10 if playing MSU tonight
