I am looking for a VHS or DVD of the Purdue @ Illinois men's basketball game from 1/12/2000. I believe Purdue won 69 - 66. Thanks for any help!
Purdue @ Illinois 1/12/2000
- Thread starter collegehoopsfan123
- Start date
I had a VHS of that game. I also remember immediately throwing it away in the trash right after I watched it.
Sully - do you by chance have a VHS of the March 13 1994 Purdue Illinois game? Glenn Robinson might have scored a few buckets in that one.
Fair enough. I grew up a fan of only 2 big ten teams, Illinois and Purdue, plus the Peoria guys from both teams were my favorite players. I am on my way to the landfill to look for the VHS right now, haha.
Wasn’t the final game on the old floor, before Keady court, a win against Illinois? I’m pretty sure it was. I was there and remember it that way at least.
I had that game on VHS but got rid of them in March when I moved. I remember, my man Al McGuire, did the color commentary.
Yes it was. 3/8/1997 I was there, too. Mike Robinson and Jaraan Cornell were freshman, my two favorite Boilers to this day.
lol Sorry I was like only 10 when that game happened. Big Dog gave me nightmares that night haha.
I have so many friends that went to Purdue and loved visiting your campus a lot. Usually always had a great time (honestly, the only time I had a less than great experience was when the manager or owner of Wabash Yacht Club was giving me shit for no reason. Probably had to do with me wearing Illini attire haha) That sucks that bar closed down. Good times. Every other time I visited there was fun as hell though.
I also always liked it when my Boilermaker buddies would visit me in Champaign. Fun 100% sober times from what we can remember at least haha.
Here's to no injuries tomorrow (or ever for that matter) and may the best team win!
The 1987 game at Illinois was exciting. Purdue won in overtime 76-75. Doug Lee hit some big shots along with the three amigos. Altenberger hit several 3's for Illinois. It was a late start(8:45 CT) and I had to get up early for my teaching job in the Chicago area.
