How to Watch & Game Thread: Illinois at #5 Purdue

[Ashaath2016]

Those guards we talk about getting hot in march? Pretty sure newman is hot

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Newman is the gold standard for resilience and fortitude. He never gives up.

 

[purduedavie]

TKR played great that half, Newman has these games, going forward want to see a lot of him.

 

[GoldandBlackintheSaddleAgain]

Just that energy is back. Whole team looks legit a 1/2 step faster

Newman & Smith hitting open Js, just joyous, opens everything up and relaxes it all

 

[Chi-Boiler]

of freakin course - bounces right to Dainja for and one.....

didn't see - could have been three seconds there?

What's that?

 

[spoilerdave]

Lots of time left, but Houston is down by 1 with 11 minutes left. Memphis is in second place in their conference and the most likely team to beat them. #2, #3, and #6 all lost yesterday

 

[Bleedinggoldandblack]

Newman 15, 1 and 4 with 3 steals.

Holy Newman Batman

depthcharge alert......haha.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Boilers need to come out focused starting this second half - Illinois is quite capable of making runs to get back in this game.

 

[DrEss]

If Purdue gets this team energy and active hands on defense from this point forward, they will be a tough out.

 

[spoilerdave]

depthcharge alert......haha.

We win by 30, rest our starters and 4 of the top 5 teams lose? That will help with the selection committee, especially if we win the conference tourney.

 

[Steve83]

62% from the floor. 50% from three. Only 4 turnovers. 11 assists. 7 steals. We’re getting out rebounded, but that’s no problem today.

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Wow - Penn State has come back to get within one of Maryland late @ 62-61 under two minutes.

 

[PaBoiler78]

Those guards we talk about getting hot in march? Pretty sure newman is hot

how about Loyer?

 

[GoldandBlackintheSaddleAgain]

Matthew Mayer kinda looks like if Joe Dirt and Lyle Lovett had a baby

 

[BoilerNGold013]

So happy for Newman! He is balling today! Defense has been electric (probably the best since Jan) and everyone looks like they are having fun again!

 

[DrEss]

Teams look good when you play good defense and make shots.

prolly make a run of sorts but they are a bad shooting 3 team on the road.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Funny how that works.

 

[DrEss]

how about Loyer?

Need to get him going for sure.

I had to read that post a second time and slowly...my name is Matthew May and I wondered what the hell I did to insult you!

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Gillis o board

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

MASONATOR! Tough putback!

 

[Schnelk]

What a hustle play by Gillis! Nice job for 2!

 

[TX4GB]

Gillis o board

Bringing his lunch pail

 

[Steve83]

If you hustle good things happen.

 

[GoldandBlackintheSaddleAgain]

Wow Gillis with the monsterous off rebound and putback.

That stuff just demoralizes the opp

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Nice - ZE looks for the dive to Gillis for two FT's!

Mason Gillis - rock solid - hits 'em!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

C'mon Boilers - knock one of those down - two triples for Illinois.....sigh.

 

[TX4GB]

We didn’t make them pay with the long offensive board

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

3rd on Dainja?

 

[Schnelk]

Matthew Mayer kinda looks like if Joe Dirt and Lyle Lovett had a baby

Dainja looks like a Dodge truck hood ornament.

 

[TX4GB]

Wow Micah won

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

The dreaded Boiler lull right now - c'mon guys - pick it up a little.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Wow Micah won

Maryland - 10-0 home; 1-9 road - in conference.

 

[TX4GB]

Feed the big man!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Zachen! Nice jump hook in the paint!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Four on Dainja! in da danger zone.

 

[depthcharge623]
