Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue
- Status
Thought Hawkins might get a couple more minutes
To be honest, our last 3-4 games have started with terrible shooting on both sides. Probably just Big Ten play.
He should get more minutes based upon his early performance.
We play like this against the Nerds, we lose by 20. Bring the 05 team into practice to teach these kids how to pass to get open looks.
Like the pace of play though. It leads to turnovers but is not good for Purdue. They don't have the depth and will tire their bigs pretty quickly. Should pay off in the last 10 minutes if we can play 9 guys.
Big Ten is a grind every night. Besides maybe Nebraska, I don't think there are any gimmes in this league.
Sweet find by Curbelo and Monte buries it.

DMW coming back next year, right? Great. Glad we decided that for him.

That's something I never thought I would here.....DMFW 70%
DMFW being the national leader in 3pt % was not on my 2020 Illini bingo card
Alright you. His record as a coach is pretty good. Can’t help it he can’t recruit Chicago.:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/60180487/Bruce_Eats_Jarling_s.0.gif)
But I love it
Nice to see these offensive explosions.
GREAT finish to the half!!

My goodness 70% from 3 pt. Land this year, insane.
Nice finish. The unfortunate one by Wheeler notwithstanding. Curbelo is really going to be something when he learns to avoid the turnovers.
Freshman Damonte = making everyone cringe with his outside shot
Senior Damonte = burying threes like their layups
His year-to-year improvement is nothing short of remarkable.
