Purdue v. Illinois (Game Thread)

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Dang it - killer second chance three.

 

[Do Dah Day]

Geesus .,, Krakenator making Kofi look weak

 

[dumpsterFyre]

If scouts aren't paying attention to Edey yet... they better start

 

[TX4GB]

Dreaded board and 3. Zachen don’t care though with another deuce

 

[Schnelk]

Zach killing it so far!

 

[dumpsterFyre]

I like Tre coming in with Kofi on the bench

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Bumped him all the way.....like the start so far - keep it up, Boilers.

 

[TX4GB]

Great start Boilers! Making Kofi work. Now bring in Big Cat to shake and bake.

 

[Do Dah Day]

Damn Gillis for Mayor

 

[GoldandBlackintheSaddleAgain]

Might be one of the best stretches from Edey on both ends of the floor in his young Boiler career...especially defensive on Cockburn. He'll yeah, keep it going, BTFU!

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

This is a proper bigten road game. Let's go boilers!

 

[Do Dah Day]

It's "Big Boy" basketbaall

 

[TX4GB]

Morton sighting

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

JI - two nice strokes/FT's there.

 

[TX4GB]

Big Cat answers!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Kofi and Big Cat going at it!

 

[Schnelk]

If Tre's gonna shoot that Gillis needs help on the boards.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

A LOT of contact.....wow.....lettin em play today.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Few really impatient possessions there. Cost us.

 

[purduepat1969]

Sad effort by Hunter on that fast break by Curbelo

 

[Gman544]

5 quick ones off the bench for Illinois.

 

[Schnelk]

Stop that drive down the lane fellas.

 

[dumpsterFyre]

Edey needs to play about 25-30 min this game

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Sad effort by Hunter on that fast break by Curbelo

That's gotta be a hard foul. Can't give up a layup like that.

 

[Do Dah Day]

Few really impatient possessions there. Cost us.

Damned straight ... I may need to whip some buttocks

 

[purduepat1969]

That's gotta be a hard foul. Can't give up a layup like that.

He wasn't even attempting to stay in front of him...

 

[TX4GB]

Goode and Curbelo swung the momentum.

 

[tjreese]

JI - what a find to Gillis!

Trevion needs to face up and make his first step quick and deep because like all the previous years Kofi has pushed him out too far. Trevion has to get deeper

 

[Gman544]

Both teams used to benefiting outside from double team on post. Not today.

 

[TX4GB]

Edey stabilizer

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Zachen!!!!! unstoppable

 

[TX4GB]

Wow, Zachen is on a mission

 

[Schnelk]

He wasn't even attempting to stay in front of him...

Unfortunately true.

 

[GoldandBlackintheSaddleAgain]

Love seeing Zach playing w a chip on his shoulder

 

[dumpsterFyre]

Yah that "chicken wing" is illegal dude

 

[Schnelk]

No shit chicken wing.

 

[dumpsterFyre]

Zach has the best back-to-the-basket ball handling ability of any 7 footer that Matt has recruited

 

[TX4GB]

Feel like I am back in the 80s with the big man battle.

 

[purdueplayer]

One thing that is just incredible is Edeys stamina. Cockburn is breathing HARD and Edey looks like he just went up one flight of stairs.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

illegal screen come on ivey did nothing!!!
