Purdue 77, Illinois 71 Postgame
Hopefully not. I don't want to see them again. Let someone else knock them off so we don't have to.
First back to back outright B1G titles since Ohio State did it in 2006 and 2007 (Illini did the same the two years prior to that).
We’re better than them, but when we have the right combination of people on the floor lol simple as that.
Shannon’s worst game. Should have kept Dainja in the the game. He was more effective with Edey.
Goode having almost 20 minutes is nonsense, he really doesn’t do anything out there
Maybe if we practiced playing in rotation defensively we’d be able to do it when you absolutely need it. I am so pissed.
Valliant effort. They are just better than us. Hopefully we can bring the horses in and make the adjustments needed to our staff to raise our team to that level soon.
I just hope that there's one game when we go nuclear on both ends and throttle someone. We clearly have the talent, just need the will
miss one of them and we win.

Purdue's 2nd chance points at the end came at some ridiculous 50/50 balls bouncing around. Frustrated that the offense couldn't do more but partially encouraged by the effort.
We played our hearts out tonight. What can you do? Just frustrating. Man I wish Ty was out there in the clutch to possibly help us get one of those rebounds
Smith Runs at the bench. Does the go to sleep taunt. How’s that not a technical foul?!
Outscored by 12 in the second half......ooof.
Purdue is legit. They've got a great shot of winning it all.

We played about as we played. Good game toe to toe with the #1 team.
This genuinely was a they made there shots and we didn’t game.
This loss hurts so much because we played well enough to win, they just played better.

We can still get revenge in the BTT and win a title. Follow that up with a natty?
I strongly disagree. A great team took it, with some lucky bounces and hot shooting. PSU was giving a game away.
Its no coincidence that every team we play shoots lights out. Defense is the issue and will be in the tournament too.
