Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Edey is unstoppable.

 

[Hopingfor500]

Danger time early.

 

[hooraybeer]

purdue is GOOD good

 

[madillini4]

Will be interesting to see what adjust we make at half to limit Edey.

Meh

Edey is unstoppable.

I could be unstoppable if I never got called for a foul.

Jeff Gillooly.

 

[SescIllini]

Going to have to double team Edny to stop his dribble and recover

 

[PassingBy]

Got a game on hand

Need to regroup

 

[illinitiger]

Refs had to call to get control of game.

Probably...but follow up on kofi was bs

Well, it is not a 2022 Illinois basketball game without a 12-15 pt. opponent run to end a half.

I'd really like to see Plummer get back to just catch and shoot 3s. He seems so in between on when to pull trigger and when to drive in for the mid range pull up.

It is time to get your 3rd big man off the bench and get annoyingly physical with Edey. You can't let him just waltz around in the lane like this.
You have to foul him hard and make him frustrated.

BBV...your plate is ready.

 

[Chieeeeffffff]

Purdue has been whistled for three fouls during an incredibly physical first half. Thanks, Bo et al.

 

[Retro62]

We need to start hitting threes because it the only way we’re going to neutralize Edey getting two every time he touches the ball.

 

[spillini]

Where’d that dribble penetration go? We were getting looks

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Plummer needs to start making shots

And if he is going to let Edey alter his shot, he needs to take the 3 and stop driving to take a long 2.

Yeah that’s not his shot the pull-up midrange

This. Letting their bigs dribble is killing us, make that adjustment with our guards diving down will instantly stop that

 

[purcy51]

Is the arm bar shove to make room for a shot legal? Seems PU players are doing it alot

He is in... probably to small to stop Edey

 

[FromTheLogo]

BBV may get posterized.

 

[Naborman88]

Too many Illini standing around watching the dribble

 

[altgeld88]

Dre can’t be taking those shots

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

This is getting ugly quick
