If you were to stack every one of these ball whipping moments through DMFW’s career into one video, how many minutes do you think that would be add up to?
Purdue 84, Illinois 68 Postgame
I think the pivotal momentum shift was the phantom push in the back on Kofi. Purdue dialed in on making him defend at the rim. Too many easy twos followed. We compounded it by a failure to make open looks.
If they think Sunday is going to be easy, this one loss will turn into two. That's the exact mentality. I expect BU to have his guys in the right frame or mind.
At what point in the game did that happen? Completely missed it
Kofi had a decent offensive game with 18 and some good moves down low. He also did ok on defense against Edey 6 for 10 and Williams 2 for 7. We lost because Ivey went off and our shooting went cold.

Yeah, more like he just had to work harder for it tonight than usual. It's amazing what not being elbowed in the face can do for your game.

Is it even an Illini game if Williams doesn't throw a 100 mph heater off some hapless chap while trying to save it from going out?
For real, must be easier to shoot when you're only seeing one basket instead of two
He will be gone in 60 days thank goodness. hopefully Edey!
Not an offensive threat and I'm guessing Edey leaning on him was a little more than tiring. Once we needed buckets, no way was Kofi sitting
I did qualify by Big 10 standards. Not expecting anyone to take the day off, but it's a game we should win.
I agree. I thought BBV did very well. There was one stretch where Kofi and BBV played at the same time that I really liked.
There's not a game there where they won't be favored.
What was up with the shot clock not resetting on Kofis shot then we got the rebound and Trent had to Jack up a 3- the refs talked to BU about it, even Painter came over and then they did nothing
Shouldn’t the ref just look at the monitor - see the shot clock didn’t reset and give us the ball? How hard is that?

Doesn’t matter. You can still be favored and lose on the road. Happens a lot in the Big Ten.

Agree, this seems to be a challenge for us to speed up the game when it’s required. Not sure why…
I think that Purdue shut down a lot of the pick and roll in the second half between Curbelo and Kofi. It left Curbelo occasionally feeding him but often dribble driving as the rest of the team stood around and watched on offense. It made our offense freeze up then no one could hit a three when even wide open. Kofi was even being triple teamed some when he touched the ball so folks were open. It was a very weird sequence of events.
This sounds weird but I think our shooting went cold because Purdue shut the Curbelo Kofi pick and roll down then Curbello started dribble driving (to some level of success) and the team stood around and watched then we went cold and couldn't hit the broadside of a barn.

I agree with BU ......R J is gonna be a star in this league.......reminds me somewhat of what Johnny Davis looked like last year .......showed flashes of brilliance , but needed experience and body building.....
I think R J will start next season if he puts in the time needed to improve his skills and body....JMHO
