Week of 11/20 Games Thread

[azillini1]

So far, Purdue looking good against Marquette up 12. Boilers are 7 for 9 from 3 point range. The Boilers have been good early in the year the past few seasons.

 

[Point-Illinois]

Goodness it’s gonna be nice when Edey is gone.

Best way to beat him is to always have a cutter. Get him to commit to blocking your shot then pass it to the cutter for the (more) open look.

Kolek with 15 in the first half. Wasn't just us

 

[BillyBob1]

Does Edey get charged rent for the amount of time he’s in the lane?

He bought when rates were low.

Purdue is definitely better at dealing with trapping and pressure than they were the previous two seasons. I think they probably go far in the big dance this time

 

[azillini1]

The winner of the Purdue vs Marquette game will most likely be rated #1.

Purdue

Well, it's safe to say our games against PU are going to be epic.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Edey is going to get his points, but Purdue is almost unbeatable when they shoot well from 3. 48% today.

 

[BlindLoyalty]

Purdue the only B10 team w/ a pulse in the NonCon.

 

[ChiTown]

I see them having problems with better shooting teams and a stretch 5 who will draw Edey out of the paint,because now he has to come out and guard him.

 

[CV Illini]

Miznoz down 29-13 at home to South Carolina State.

 

[hodgesonfire]

Any team who can hit over 48% on 3s at any level is nearly impossible to beat. Especially if you can’t shoot them. It would require 72% on 2s just to stay even. Honestly the only reason Marquette even stayed close is because Perdue only shot 50% at the free throw line.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Looks like quite the game for Edey. I watched about the first 8 minutes of game and he only had one dunk and maybe two rebounds during that span.

Edey’s only attribute is an attribute. What a plodder.

 

[illiniguy]

because Perdue only shot 50% at the free throw line.

Would that be Will Perdue?

[EyeoftheIllini]

Ja’Kobe Walter on Baylor is quite the nice player.

 

[BMoreIllini]

I didn't realize that AJ Storr transferred to Wisky. He's got the last 5 for Wisky against SMU. He seems like a TSJ type of player.

I hope so. Not sure that would be a safe bet.

Purdue and Tennessee going to kill us!!!!!

 

[lstewart53x3]

Is there a dumber rule in all of sports than being allowed to foul at the end of games and the other team is forced to shoot free throws? IE: by breaking the rules of the game, you give yourself an advantage in said game.

The football equivalent would be if you go offsides, the other team is forced to kick a field goal.

Down 3 in the game with 2 minutes to go? No problem. Jump offsides. Even if they make the field goal, you get the ball back with a chance to win the game.

Silly.
