Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[Illini_Jack]

Belo look good so far

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

BELO!!

 

[hoopsfan47]

Andre a plus so far...love it.

Are we sure we’re better without Belo?

High quality, BIG Basketball!

 

[ILLINI IN NE]

Like #5's play so far. No sign of rust.

 

[jumpingjack]

My mom finally made it to her seat. Sorry guys, we're good from here on out

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Curbelo !!

 

[grantlab]

Shot % will even out. Controlling glass and turnovers is key to winning this game, and we’ve had the slight edge there thus far.

 

[sacraig]

Curbelo is going to completely change this offense for the better. It won't all fall on Trent anymore and we will have an actual slashing threat. We're playing a little tight so far but if we can clean it up just a little before Purdue gets too far ahead I like our chances.

 

[Chieeeeffffff]

No fouls on Purdue 8.5 minutes in—sounds about right.

 

[hooraybeer]

man almost brings a tear to the eye seeing belo back out there

 

[zentrails]

Curbelo is really what had me most excited about this year. I'm so glad to see him coming back.

So far so good, him being back and playing well is the real news of this game win or lose, IMO

 

[illiniguy24]

If Belo can play 15-20 minutes if efficient basketball today we have a SERIOUS chance of winning

 

[mainlabs]

like to see Goode have a breakout game and become a thorn in the sides of these Indiana teams like the Illinois players always seem to be.

I can’t imagine the relief Belo is feeling after those first couple mins

 

[727ill]

Talk about killing momentum with a ticky tack foul. No need for that call to be made

 

[TheGMan]

I feel like we have missed having any type of transition offense with Curbelo out. So hopefully we get that back

 

[hoopsfan47]

Gonna be tough to win this rebounding battle....8-7 PU now.

I like what Belo is creating. Kofi needs to finish.
