Game Thread: Illinois vs Purdue
- Status
The issue isn't the offense. Defensively, we don't have the personal to stop what they bring. Not physicality in the paint and the guards can't keep Purdue out of the lane.
Not sure how they solve this.

God we need Morez for this game badly. Tomi has like 4 inches on TKR and getting abused.
Need to sort out this ball screen defense. The baby hedge by Ivisic isn’t bothering smith and it’s putting Ivisic out of position on the rolling Ren.
If he’s going to jump out on smith do it strong

They are making it tough on him jumping him and making him pass to open guys for good threes. We have to make some of these looks that Ben, Will and others have just missed so far. Hopefully they go in soon or it will be tough for KJ.
Gotta stop Smith in his tracks.

our cutting offense is good, 3's are too easy, and going to have to switch and let Renn try 8 foot floaters

3-13 from three and 9-13 from two … half our shots are threes, and we have a season’s worth of evidence we’re not good at them. Brad, you shouldn’t be posting from the bench.

As we all know Big T is a prototypical Euro 5 and he’s not a banger cause he plays with finesse.
Yeah, Purdue is daring us to hit wide open threes. Unfortunately we struggle at that. Don't know what to say other than you need to hit them at an efficient rate or you just have to tell the team they're not allowed to shoot threes. It's a tough situation honestly.
As bad as the shooting has been, defense has been terrible. Just bad today. And the rebounding.

In a game where it is hard to find positives, Will is continuing to grow before our eyes. He is more aggressive and more alert to possibility every game. He is seeing the floor, and things are slowing down for him.
Good thing Will made those FT's, cause he really should have had 2 and-ones there.
