Ill. just playing harder & want it more to this point. Boilers better wake up 2nd half.
Illinois v. Purdue (Game Thread)
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
Typical late clock Purdue giving up the basket. If Sasha and Ivey show up at all in the second half, we win.
Yeah, Sasha should have been back in the lane executing his specialty - taking the charge...
Might as well go for the steal. I saw MG pressure the in-bound and thought ok.....then that happened.
I'd like to thank the worst refs on the planet for giving IL 3 chances on one possession. nice work asshats
I thought he looked sluggish in rhe tunnel...May have been just getting focused
amazing the game is so close, our guards are bad tonight plus you throw in IT getting abused on D, Newman can't be worse.

We need a strong half from Ivey, Sasha, and Hunter.
I’m cracking the Old Forester 1920 after that half.
This game is exhibit A on why we are in trouble come tourney time (again) vs. big/strong/athletic guards.
have to take notice if Morton gets any PT in the 2nd half
Just wish Newman could be a defensive stopper. He would be in there.
I said this afternoon watch out for Ute transfer, got to make use if the portal
This has the same feel as the IU game. I feel like we are due for an L in this game too
Possibly but how did we beat Illinois on the road? IIRC, Sasha, Ivey & Hunter all did pretty well
Ivey had a bad hip. Explains why he was a little chippy in that game.
We were extremely unlucky that half in a lot of ways. We got this.
Sasha had a great game, Hunter was solid, and JI got to the FT line a LOT.
Boilers are right there, but they will need to tough this one out. Gotta convert better.....at least they stopped turning it over a while. The last 2+ minutes hurt, though.
You had 2 people you didn't want to get the ball and curbelo was one.. with .7 just how many places can the rhrow rhe ball if your trigger man stops the lob? Coming to the ball on top for a lefty and baseline for a lefty. Thank God Purdue got some very good play from Ethan. Caleb and Mason. Purdue ball and both 5s in good shape for fouls. Inwards Plummer was shooting just like the game. Every shot had 2 inches between the ball and the rim...dead center.
Purdue okay...more focus...smart play needed and a great start to the second half. No Jaden and not much from Zach. Sasha Eric and isaiah...Isaiah... us Purdue still in this?
They are much quicker to the ball and if the person about to get a hand
what has IT done, bad D on Curbelo and 0 points to offset that.
