Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue

[Illini in Indiana]

Can anyone on this team dunk ?

/s

Ty, but seriously when we miss bunnies we lose our minds

 

[jaked1121]

We need to hit some threes

 

[grantlab]

Not matching up in transition has been a death sentence for this team all season.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Purdue is a better team than we are. We can beat them, and can still with this game, but we just can't quite match up with them.

We've led most of this thing. We'll see how it finishes.

 

[bjp84]

Now would be a good time for TSJ to show up

 

[illiniguy24]

We’ve totally been taken out of rhythm this half. Need to make some plays soon

 

[Dragons89]

Purdue has weapons we think we have. Where are our experienced guys when it’s game time. Let’s go!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Purdue sucking me in to thinking they’re good and they’re gonna bust my bracket again this year. Just watch.

The recipe to beat Purdue is out there. We executed it in the first half, losing the shooters in the 2nd. Started with the double teaming Edey - stupid adjustment.

 

[HailtotheChief]

They are taking and hitting 3s now and we don't seem to be getting any looks even with edy in.
Be ready and take some 3s Hawkins

 

[alaskaillini]

Purdue doing a good job of running up off the 3 line.

 

[OB positive]

It's step up time for someone if we are going to win this.

 

[NCIllini10]

If they called half the fouls Eddy commits, he would be fouled out twice

 

[doltmanns]

edey fouling for a block and then talking s*** and staring down coleman is one of the more bush league things ive seen this season. FOH

There was another game recently where the opponent got knocked down and was called for a foul against Edey. Instead of Edey turning away, he purposely stepped over the guy who was down. He is a bush league POS.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Heck of a play by Loyer.

 

[PopChampaign]

Edey had trouble in the first half early and the way Dain limited him on defense vs what Coleman is bringing offensively doesn’t match up. Hawkins made some good plays offensively but not compared to Edey offensively, if he could score with him then ok I get it.

 

[BBlock24]

Purdue playing good defense right now. Illinois is out of rhythm.

 

[BWBW]

Attack the rim.

Wasn't clear to me why we needed that adjustment either

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Let’s step out of bounds again. That should help.

 

[Flyin' Illini]

Maybe stop stepping out of bounds.

 

[PopChampaign]

Still no Dainja is just crazy

 

[madcrazeeballa]

Game isn’t over but the comeback has to start now. Guerrier stepped up and hit 3’s in the first half. Need someone else to do it this half

 

[illiniguy24]

TSJ this is your moment brother. Let’s go! Come on fellas!!

 

[SilverTurbo]

Why does Shannon just stand at the 3 point line watching everything?

 

[Dragons89]

Is DGL watching Smith? That’s what we need.
