Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[Alma 19]

Lol go Illini but 3 of those were very clear fouls

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Agree ... Not so sure about the Hansberry move here ... I do not want them in the bonus ...

But I love Amanis effort ... And some of those are not fouls ... But it's Edey versus a freshman ... You aren't gonna get those calls ...

Update: It was a dumb move ...

Just getting them closer and closer to the bonus ...

 

[Chad Fleck]

Loved the block Coleman.
Then he telegraphed his pass unfortunately oh well.

Harmon got the block, which is fun.

 

[Battle89]

Honestly don't know if any of these fouls on Hansberry were legitimate. If they're going to let Edey bang, you gotta allow the defense to bang back.

The second one was, he had Edey all wrapped up. First and third, not so much.

 

[spillini]

Should have pulled him after the 2nd quick foul. It wasn’t going to change from there.

 

[madcrazeeballa]

I swear we zigged expecting them to zag and they didn’t and now we’ve just really over thought stuff…

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Hansberry was matching Edey's physicality and got punished for it.

We have been out-scored by 5 this half, Need Marcus and MD to get going.

Yep after 2 BU has to put Dain back in.

2 were legit. 2 absolutely were not.

Biggest change in the game was late 1st half when Purdue started grabbing, reaching, and hand checking on every play and it has seriously slowed us down offensively.

 

[NarrowJ]

Another late whistle for Purdue

 

[IllinistrandedinHouston]

The question, is Amani tiring out Edey, or is Amani putting them on the line often at the end?

 

[Dragons89]

Now that’s a bad call.

 

[Illinifinn]

Not the best idea in the long run tonight. But, love the grit from Amani there. Freshman with minimal minutes doesn’t back down from the B2B POTY. Have to be excited about that for years to come.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Here comes the fouls ... Refs gonna gift this one to them with FTs ...

 

[Navy_illini]

I thought the refs were awful in the first half, but Amani is mauling Edey. Those are all fouls.

I think BU wanted him to be physical

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Eventually we’ll get to play Purdue in Champaign.

 

[NASchamp]

Not sure “fouls called per game” is a stat you want to lead the country in….

 

[SuperMetroid]

3 on Lurch

Totally agree ... But Hansberry doesn't get the benefit of the doubt with this crew ...

 

[InDaAZ]

Foul on the penguin in the water

 

[illiniguy24]

Foul on Augustine

 

[skyIdub]

Time to pull away.

yet they aren't calling any of the hand checks by Purdue. No freedom of movement at all.
