This poster has a troubled outlook, or maybe he is not really a Purdue fan. Maybe just a clown posing on here.
Purdue v. Illinois (Game Thread)
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
‘Effin missed FTs…. We were clearly the better team, but Purdue miscues at the line allowed the Featherheads chance after chance to extend the game.
Nevertheless, an AWESOME win against the team I love to beat the most😎👍
like i said, we hit a lot but could have won in reg or ot if we hit the clutch ones.
Good he needs to get his swag back. He was an animal in high school and early at Purdue. He can play.
Great team win! Everybody put points on the board. UI has a very good, maybe a great team. That was every bit the game I expected. Just glad our bench players were better than theirs. To win at UI against this team was quite a feat! Go Boilers!
Ready for a visit to our friends down south now.

Beat a great team at home. Kofi needs to work on his attitude when things don't go his way.
Ivey kept going for it even though he was missing, Hunter and Sasha were clutch. Edey kept us in the game.

This game was won by our talented depth. So much for all the posters calling to shorten the rotation.Great team win! Everybody put points on the board. UI has a very good, maybe a great team.

Yep, when someone has an off game, you have talent at the ready to bring in. That's what wins championships...
The FT's only stand out because of WHEN they happened. Likely some pretty tired players out there.
Ivey bull in a china shop hero ball will win games and will cost us games. He is exhilarating and maddening.
Gotta hand it to Sasha Stefanovic and Eric Hunter, Jr. for providing the additional sparks in the second half with Jaden Ivey and Big Tre struggling from the field. Yes, SS missed a couple of crucial FT's, but his 5-8 from beyond the arc was huge, on a day when not many others were making outside shots. Purdue probably doesn't come through without Hunter late - that's two solid games in a row.....very good sign.
A heavy dose of the Zachen today wore them out, too. Huge win (Q1) come seeding time.
On to Bloomington!
His mistakes stand out because the expectations are incredibly high every time he touches ball. His blistering speed drew 15 trips to the foul line this game.
We will know who the best team is in two months after all the conference games have been played. Today you were. I'm willing to predict Illinois wins at Purdue, as hard as that seems to believe right now.
I thought Indiana was the most hated team by all Purdue fans, guess I was wrong - it's nice to be on a Purdue fan's list.
13/15 from the line is close to stellar - yes, he missed the key front end....did impact the game in other ways - 8 boards and a block and fairly active on defense without being out of position. Hopefully he gets that when his shot is off. Illinois clogged his drive a couple of times and Bo/Carstensen swallowed the whistle a couple of times.
Just stay in the game and make good decisions. You have to be encouraged a little with Purdue winning on the road in a hostile environment against a ranked team when JI/TW go 9-28, combined from the field. Totally frustrated Cockburn, too, which won't happen much this season. He was the only player in the NCAA averaging top 5 in pts/rebounds. Held to 10/5 today before fouling out.
Still, too many silly/sloppy turnovers for my liking, but I liked the effort/hustle/energy today - that has to continue for them to really have the ultimate success.

To an extent, yes, but CMP talks all the time about when he takes on too much and plays out of control. Sometimes his carelessness is just bananas...just play smart.
Very happy for the win. I didn’t think they would when it went to O.T. In the last 10 seconds of regulation after a timeout that was really bad. That’s why I thought a loss was coming. Again glad they overcame the adversity and won a tough game on the road.
I love Bardo. Always gives Purdue credit and he is basketball savy all day
Best defensive performance I have seen in two years. Beautiful rotations and fight on the boards all game long. NOTHING was easy for ILL. Tip of the hat to that dude who kept making 3's with hands in his face. That's basketball though.
Final. 4. Performance.
Today the team put their heart and soul out on the court. Seniors with great games all around. Pulse was over 170 at certain points today. Haven't been this invested in a game since last year's NCAA.

One of my favorites....all class. And when he does games in Mackey, he usually reminds the audience (or his play-by-play partner does it for him) that his teams did not win in that building.
and he's definitely not an Illini homer too. I always like his work
who's the guy w/ Bardo in the vid?One of my favorites....all class. And when he does games in Mackey, he usually reminds the audience (or his play-by-play partner does it for him) that his teams did not win in that building.
Steve Scheffler. He was honored at halftime of that game, which Bardo was calling. Think it was Rutgers - 2018.
I've been a Bardo fan since he's been on BTN. Interesting, fair, insightful. I feel like Robbie brings the same qualities to the booth.
