Purdue 77, Illinois 71 Postgame
Solution looking for a problem.
okay heart… regroup.
If the pain of this loss fuels a tournament run then nobody will care about this game
Not Shannon’s best night. He just seemed so rushed tonight with every shot.
Purdue came up with some big rebounds and made some clutch shots at the end and that was the difference

Dainja deserved them minutes
You are not beating PU if they shoot over 50 percent from 3. Edey shouldn’t have been doubled in the 2nd half he was sore and tired
We got to get the long rebounds. It wasn’t due to lack of effort.
First half too many turnovers
I am not blaming the refs but I shake my head at some calls like Edey foul on Hawkins

Nothing to be upset about. We played well. They got a couple weird loose balls in the second half and capitalized as well as hit a couple tough shots. We are good. And we were tough and physical defensively. They found the guys when we sent the double.
He was 3 for 13 in the game but 5 for 5 from the line.
That’s what I don’t understand. If he’s not hunting for his shot what else does he really offer?
2 shot attempts in 20+ minutes????

Not really. We had a horrible stretch with zero FG's......they couldn't miss from 3.
They made their shots. That was the best defense we've played in two months.
We played hard and missed shots.
You are going to lose every game to top 10 teams when that happens.
You have to make shots.
Unforced turnovers deprived the Illini of shot attempts. 3 stepping on the line was just terrible. Throwing the ball out of bounds a couple of times. Getting steals and then getting stolen right back. It is a tough loss but this team still looks like a team that can go to that second weekend. If they can get to the second weekend who knows?
Great game. If we play as well the rest of the season I will be very happy. Why we feel the need to have Harmon in the game late over Ty I will never understand. Deflected balls and lack of rebounds lost us this game. Ty is the second leading rebounder on the team despite being about 6th in minutes.
Is anyone able to bring up a Dain vs Edey.. vs Dain vs Edey stat chart to shut me up please?
Couple of notes for me:
1. Whoever decided to change the defense in the start of the 2nd half (ultimately falls on Brad) ... What are you thinking ? Why quit something that was working?
2. Ty needs to play more ... Goode is an absolute warrior ... I wanted Ty over him tonight ...
3. Hansberry goes out there and just fouls ... That should have been Dainja ... We can debate all night whether they were fouls or not but at the end of the day ... Hansberry should not have been in the game ... And that's nothing against the kid ... I like him ... But Dainja was the guy matchup wise tonight ...

4th or 5th pending the next couple of games.
No. We've still got some more work to do. Beat Iowa and our BTT quarters game and I think that's a 4
Those tap back rebounds were killer.
He was facing a very organized, disciplined, and talented defense focused on limiting his opportunities.

Looking forward to Edey learning that he can indeed foul when he's not being officiated by a Big Ten crew.
Off night from TSJ 3 of 11 and 0 of 4 from 3. Smith and Gillis were huge. Domask played his tail off. I hope we get em again in Minnesota and TSJ and Domask both play well.
Refs didn't cost us the game but the 2nd foul on TSJ and non call on edy when he foul Hawkins were huge too. Still can allow Smith those fairly clean looks as the clock is running out.
