Purdue 83, Illinois 78 Postgame
I like our chances at home with TSJ.
The Galloping Ghost
- Washington, DC
Brutal start, tough throughout most of it, but love the fight to pull it close. Hopefully, we have our full roster next time we play them. Then we’ll see what happens.
Didn't give up. That is good. Still love this team
Not the outcome we wanted, but there's no shame in losing to the #1 team in the country by 5 on the road.

- Northwest Suburbs
Can’t wait for the rematch in Champaign
Lack of rebounding and second chance points in the first half cost us.
GrayGhost77
- Centennial, CO
Beat MSU and I'm still feeling good.

Heck of an effort to get it back that close.
Plus, we're one of the few teams to get Edey to 4 fouls.

Sucks to know how MANY mistakes we could have avoided could have us coming out on top … but bring on the rest of the Big Ten.
Well, that was interesting. If we played with that fire in the first 8 minutes....
Gonna be a fun season. We learned a lot and grew tonight and you could see it as the game progressed. I’m excited for the next 17 plus 8 games

Difference in the game were their 2nd chance 3s and their non star player going off
Showed alot of heart & hustle in the second half despite the loss. If this can carry over in the future we should be in the top three in the Big Ten final standings!!!
Great fightback by our guys. There are some coaching decisions I'm troubled by though. I don't understand the decision not to foul at under a minute with Purdue in possession and I don't understand why Ty remained in the game as long as he did when it was clear that a change needed to be made.
