Illinois

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Hammons/Haas weren't good against them the first time (Hammons only shot 5 times), we had 16 turnovers in our first meeting and played next to no defense.

Don't care if they are tired or not, play like we did in Champaign and we'll lose again. This game is about Purdue showing up to play.

Dang, Ibodel, the game isn't until 1:00.....you gonna be able to make it until then?

If I coached a team they'd never overlook an opponent! ha

Tired, schmired! These are 18-22 year old young men. I don't see fatigue being an issue at all today. If Illinois were to win today and tomorrow, then by Sunday - yes. I personally think playing 1 or 2 games already on the court favors the lower seeds to a certain extent. Purdue needs to come out with focus - revenge for January's loss, and for building more momentum for the NCAA tourney. If we come in and think we're a 4 seed regardless, we will be in trouble. I would love to see a possible rematch with IU tomorrow too! Get 'er done Boilers!

I would not be surprised if we go small for a good portion of the game.
