Prediction time

[BBG]

Okay so with the game today I think it's time to get your predictions in.

After a slow start due to being overly emotional, the team regroups by halftime and goes on to win by 8.

I agree BBG.................

Purdue 79 Illinois 71

Octeus, AJ, Davis, Edwards and Stephens all score 10+...............

Mathias, Scott, Smotherman, PJ and Haas key reserves with combined 20+ between them....

Keys:
1) Control the Glass
2) Be aggressive on offense and drive the ball to the basket and get ILL in foul trouble
3) Hit the free throws
4) Take smart shots
5) Lastly, Have fun!

I think we see an aggressive offensive Purdue team today.....once we get the lead we don't look back and we win it going away by 8+.

Might be close the first half but second half we pull away and Ill doesn't know what hit them.

We hit back to back 3's and a AJ dunk about the 10 minute mark and that's all she wrote for Ill.....we keep it 8+ the rest of the way.

About 6 minute mark they start having key guys fouling out Rice, Nunn, Hill, Big E etc........

Boiler Up because this is what Purdue basketball is all about.

Going to be fun to watch.........

I hit the OSU game on the nose, missed on the MSU game, so I'm still going with the Boilers on Senior Day. Octeus has been in the dance and will help pull the rest along for the win and a berth.

Should be a close and exciting game, but I'm hoping for a friggin' blowout of the Illini.

No prediction here, well score wise that is, but I will be shocked if this PU team doesn't come out on Senior Night with all the importance that this game entails and does not leave it all on the court. It may very well be a blood shed game with possible fatalities. This is Mackey Arena baby..........let the beatings begin.

Hope I'm wrong, and maybe I'm just trying to protect my psyche, but I have a bad feeling about today. Illinois has the edge on the wings, and their pressure will make it tough for us to get the ball inside.

Illinois 66, Purdue 63

Low scoring game...Neither team looks that good. Purdue with home court advantage edges Illinois 61 - 58.

Boiler Up!
