Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[Miles Leonard]

Our guys are just driving into no man's land.

Hawkins is giving us a nice burst so far

 

[Illini4life79]

Man wish Frazier could find that stroke from his earlier years. Gets good looks just doesnt hit them consistently.

 

[jason88cubs]

Hawkins showing something!

 

[skyIdub]

Oh my.... I'm imagining CoHawk +25lbs!

 

[WizardBill]

Hawkins!

 

[LostinNebraska]

Hawkins off to an early and good start!

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Hawkins must have been impressive in practice the last week, certainly showing something here early.

I was calling for Hawkings the last 2 games I am glad coach was listening

 

[hoopsfan47]

Need Hawk to play like a Tasmanian Devil for as long as he can stand up.

 

[PNWIllini]

People had this same narrative last year with starting Feliz. How'd that end up? Oh yea... he ended up coming off the bench because he was better there. It's early. Coaches still feeling things out.

Got to fall behind, press the bet, then bring in the ringers.

I believe he mentioned “Ken from that message board” in his pre-game interview. Good job.

When was the last time we played a B1G game with three freshmen on the floor at the same time??

What's with the neon shoes Curbelo is wearing??

 

[logjam]

Hawkins has come out more aggressive today, carrying over from practice this week! Keep it up young man and you will get more minutes.

Magic.

LOL...watching him sucking for air there I am not sure how excited he is about that thought!! But good job by him so far tonight.

I want Adam Miller to be a star so bad. But we’re so much better Curbelo on the floor (as he turns it over twice)

 

[ILLINI IN NE]

Curbelo likes to dribble into traffic.

 

[ILLINI IN NE]

HAMMER....

 

[PNWIllini]

Omg

 

[Highlander]

Kofi running the floor!

 

[hoopsfan47]

Ayo has embraced the lost art of the mid-range and become elite at doing so.

 

[skyIdub]

Big man run floor, make money.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Williams is really trying to get the better of his match up with Kofi. It's only hurting his team so far.

 

[logjam]

Kofelo!
