Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[IlliniForceOne]

We really need Plummer to hit shots if we are going to win today.

Eddy = long and troublesome

 

[illiniguy24]

Edey is a problem

[IlliniForceOne]

Edey is a problem

His length is really bothering Kofi.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Not the best start.

 

[BDMAN312]

looking one of our typical slow starts judging by the espn game cast says we are down 6 - 2

So that's a foul on Slim Jake, but all the busting and hip-checking on Kofi and Payne aren't???
These refs.....

 

[Illini_Jack]

I don't know what to expect from Curbelo. Hoping for the best

 

[sully]

dang we can't buy a bucket right now.

 

[Chieeeeffffff]

Plummer has to make open shots, it’s that simple.

 

[illiniguy24]

Omg it’s happening. Papi is back!

 

[sully]

I don't know what to expect from Curbelo. Hoping for the best

Same here. I love that he's suited up and ready to go. Hope he balls out

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Shooting.

 

[IlliniForceOne]

Plummer has to make open shots, it’s that simple.

This. We can win if:
1. Plummer hits open 3 looks.
2. Jake can finish at the rim.
3. Trent goes on a personal 12-0 run at some point

Honestly, we're doing everything right so far, I'm really happy with the start, shots just not falling yet.
