Purdue vs. Illinois: Predictions and Game Thread

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Illini may be down a few players although not anyone of supreme importance in terms of scoring load and leadership...but a thin lineup none-the-less.

Boiler Up!
Hammer Down!
Hail Purdue!
ILL - IN SUCK

On paper, the key for Purdue is to play to its strengths....primarily low turnovers.

An area we've at times struggled in games is allowing transition baskets because of rushed shots.

Illinois thrives on disruption and transition. They will pressure and try to turn you over. Their defense isn't that great in the half court.

It wasn't a shock that they were able to upset a team like Michigan State, who struggles with turnovers.

I just hope we're at full strength. We should be up for this. Btfu!

 

[purduepat1969]

Anyone know Tre's status. I'm assuming he would be back to full strength for this game? Bezhanishvili is no joke.

87-70 Boilers.

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Kugler & Crispy calling the game.....was hoping for Stephen Bardo...oh well.

Go Boilers. Rob Hummel had it right, IMO.....Carsen Edwards will get his chances - will he make the right decisions, and will he hit some shots?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

wow....an inauspicious start.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Nojel Eastern!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Jel...on the block for two!

 

[boilercss]

Is trent Frazier one of the suspensions?

 

[PU pit bull]

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Got to stop these unforced errors

 

[PU pit bull]

CE hits his first shot?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

C-Boogie....good to see that!

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Damn...I agree with Crispy again....go at Bezhanishvili.

Carsen continues to force unnecessary, I’ll-advised shots. He’s the only thing holding him back.
