Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[CubsWin]

I guess when you're standing still with your arms straight up and the ballhandler runs into you--is a defensive foul now.

Literally still as a statue, and didn't even budge. All he did was stood his ground.

We are fighting hard with the players we have on the floor. Belo giving us great minutes

 

[CogDog]

Damonte is fired up!!!

MOmentum call there. Not sure any other ref ever would call that a tie up...but who cares in this house?

Need some stops and a run!

 

[CubsIlliniFan]

Ben playing hard. We can cut this to a one possession game. Playing with heart

What's the fine if Underwood calls out the officiating in the post game presser?

He's classier than I am so I doubt he does it, but a girl can dream.

Edit: I'd absolutely contribute to a GoFundMe if he did it lol

This is crazy

Bossman is giving it all he has. Good on him.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Need a hoop here. I expect Edey to be back after the TO.

We've talked about our depth for months on months. When we need it most, it absolutely is shining. So proud of our guys.

What has been inspiring in DFW's play is that I will not likely burn as much energy in the rest of my life as he has tonight. I am in awe.

Edey will come back in. Gotta slow him down!

Gosh, that angle really shows how bad it was.

Experience playing without Kofi early in the season will help here. Gotta think they will play through Edey the rest of the game with the foul calls being comically favorable.

 

[eas23]

Gotta get rebounds when Bossman stops Williams.

 

[skyIdub]

Can you even imagine carrying Kofi on your back!???

Win this game and then trash talk the refs as you walk off the floor.

 

[fatlard]

You put Kofi back now.. no sense saving him...

Agree....and hard to do in today's world, but BU has worked hard to find good kids with talent willing to work hard. Love what BVV is doing.

I’m stunned at how Belo has segued back into elite play.

I'll gladly write a check to cover and fine.
