Game thread 11/27/21 - vs #17 Florida State 11 AM

[TC4THREE]

Have family plans for this one as well. Probably will be able to follow along via Twitter or something but won't be watching play-by-play. Let's hope Hardin shoots well again and a couple of her teammates join her to pull off the upset.

 

[illiniboiler]

Again, looking for us competing against a team in their home state that appears better than us and is ranked. Boiler Up!

 

[DocRon]

Purdue 24-10 with 1 1/2 mins to go in first Q. Hardin hitting 4/5 3PT,

[DocRon]

Purdue leads 26-15 after first Q. Layden and Hardin playing well.

[DocRon]

Purdue stone cold at beginning of 2nd Q and lead now down to 2

Score tied with 5+ mins to go 2nd Q.
_______________________

 

[DocRon]

Purdue has scored ZERO pts in 2nd Q with just 3+ mins left. Still… only 2 behind 28-26.

[DocRon]

At half Florida State ahead by 33-26 with Boiler’s unable to score through the ENTIRE quarter (has that happened before?).

Woltman the bright spot with her rebounding.

That may be a first for me. Don't know that I've ever seen a team score ZERO points in a quarter. Lol.

 

[DocRon]

Only listening on radio but once again Ellis and Kyle seem to barely be in the game.

Yeah, I was speaking of their effect on the game.

The good news is that in spite of this, we are getting shots. Only four turnovers that half.

Bad news is that we didn't shoot a free throw and FSU only called for four fouls.

 

[DocRon]

Layden finally hits a three at 8:09 in 3rd Q but down. 37-29.

[DocRon]

Tied at 39 with 5 mins to go in 3rdQ. Game of runs.

[DocRon]

Tied at 47 at end of 3rd Q. Despite our terrible, awful 2nd Q we could still win this thing. Wow!

Only 6 turnovers. Nice!

Game getting chippy. Hard foul on Layden. Purdue down one with 6 1/2 mins to go.

[DocRon]

Purdue UP four with 4:27 mins left but FSU going to the foul line for two.

[TC4THREE]

Let's go!

 

[DocRon]

Kyle starting to affect the game.

[DocRon]

2:37 left in game. Two fights broke out on floor. FSU Multiple fouls - double techs on each club. Both Terry (fouls out) and Kyle get techs. (None on FSU? - not sure). Purdue up 3 with 2:39 left.

Unfortunate to lose Terry as she's had a great game with 10 assists according to the Twitter feed. But good to see some fire and fight still.

 

[DocRon]

Off foul on Hardin. Purdue up 3 with 1:49 to play.
_______________________

 

[DocRon]

Hardin takes charge. 1 1/2 mins left with Purdue still up 3. Purdue has ball.

[DocRon]

Shot clock violation on Purdue.

[DocRon]

FSU scores, Purdue up by 1 with 50 secs left. KG with a time out.

[DocRon]

Kyle scores with 30 secs left. FSU time out.

[TC4THREE]

Shot clock violation on Purdue.

That may count as a turnover but with a 3-point lead and about a minute left in the game, that's far from the worst thing that could've happened there. Some good game awareness by our players there.

 

[DocRon]

FSU misses, Layden gets rebound. Foul on FSU and Layden to stripe with 23 secs left.
_______________________

 

[DocRon]

Layden makes both FTs, Purdue ahead by 5 with 23 secs left.

[DocRon]

2 misses by FSU and Purdue has rebound. KG takes time out. Still ahead 66-61 with 4 secs left. This should be in the bag.

The win 66-61… amazing. Seemed like Kyle came alive in last quarter of game.

The win 66-61, Amazing. Seemed like Kyle came alive in last quarter of game.

Following along late. Amazing game for Terry with 8 points and 10 assists. Only 1 turnover.

 

[illiniboiler]

Wow Wow Wow--Yay Katie and team. Never heard of a team getting totally shut out in a quarter and then win.
Get some top players and we'll be back.

 

[BoilerRam]

Great win! Tough watching a game on gamecast. Purdue shot 33-3 pointers, which seems excessive.

 

[TC4THREE]

Layden - 38 minutes, 16 points, 7 boards, 4 assists, 0 turnovers
Hardin - 39 minutes, 18 points (6 3's), 2 boards, assist, 1 turnover (came on an offensive foul in the last minute or two of the game)

Those 2 played pretty much the whole game and only 1 turnover between them.

Great win! Tough watching a game on gamecast. Purdue shot 33-3 pointers, which seems excessive.

I doubt it's the preferred way to play, but it might be optimal for our current roster. We hit 12 of them so that's a pretty good percentage.

 

[JeffBoiler]

Holy cow folks! Had other commitments and couldn’t check in til just now. My gosh sure didn’t see this coming. Well done team and coach! New era taking root… build and grow! Wow

 

[illiniboiler]

Yes 12 treys is more than acceptable. When our men hit around that, they are happy. One game this year they hit 16 of 36, won going away. Of course Katie does not have TW and Edey
