Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[FromTheLogo]

They need Edey back in. BBV has shut Williams water off.

Williams carries that ball with each dribble when backing down BBV.

Unlike some of you I hope Plummer keeps chunking em! He doesn't need much space. He was fouled on one they missed too they didn't call it

Agreed. Keep shooting. We need him shooting to be our best.

BU prescient when he said all of the bigs need to be ready for this one…. BBV says, “I got you, coach.”

 

[skyIdub]

Kofi just looks overly frenetic. I feel like he's rushing because he feels he's got something to prove to scouts or something. The situation is getting the better of him as much or more so than Purdue is.

Absolutely agree....but it is so blatantly obvious that they are letting PU bigs play while calling ours tight.

I haven't seen carrying called a single time--in any game--all season.

BBV schooling them on D. And zero whatsoever help from the stripes. This is an asterisk game for certain if we come up short.

3 of 7 3p...and we say off game...?

Absolutely no reason to force the ball to Kofi right now sometimes its just not your night

 

[Chad Fleck]

Pretty balanced scoring effort overall.

 

[CubsWin]

Kofi has to make those shots

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Man, Kofi is just off in all areas of the game right now.
Flustered, it seems.

 

[CDRUSN]

The Belgian Bad Boy game to play today!

 

[altgeld88]

Stefanovich killing us

This. Its a turnover at this point in the game.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Dang.

 

[phats22]

case in point, that was a foul not a tough box out

 

[IlliniForceOne]

That Kofi miss did us in. Damn.

 

[illinitiger]

Ball off purdue...refs consistent at sucking

 

[WhiteHorseWings]

Sasha and his newborn hair drive me nuts

 

[Illini_Jack]

We are running out of time

 

[Peoria Pipeline]

Leaving SS open is just not smart basketball. He’s not going to put the ball on the floor and beat you.

 

[fatlard]

well, that 17-2 run did us in...

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Killer 3 Ouch

 

[Illini_Jack]

If we're going to win this game, we need to do it now
