Pretty big game for seeding, I would have to think. Illini -4.5.

We can't quit our toxic relationship with the three ball

Nope. And it's early but the well we'll just get the rebound doesn't work well when you're getting outrebounded.
And then we don't play defense.

Don't stop shooting 3s and allowing layups.

We're 10-14 from 2. If we don't get the bucket we're shooting free shots. 🤷

Can Riley please, please, please get stronger with the ball and the finishes.

Oh yea.....QUIT shooting 3's, we might win if ONLY those 2 things happen.

Down just 2 at half and it really doesn't feel like it.

Make him start his moves to the left first, he is nowhere as comfortable going that way initially.

Lucky, that little sh** Smith could get a lot more if he wanted. Lets see BU adjustments on defensive end after the half.

If you drank every time Purdue got a layup you would be completely wasted by now.

We keep getting close and then fall apart. Let’s hope we don’t again. Down 3, let’s go!

KJ goes for the clever inbounds pass to himself...then gets denied by the rim 🤣

21-25 on free shots. 84% and outscored them by 10 from the line.

20 win season again, well done but highly stressful getting there. That said with our schedule with an overhauled roster, the team has a lot to be proud of.

Another solid win. Such a roller coaster team. Hopefully keep this momentum through the B1G. If we get unserseeded bc of the flu we'll be a very popular upset pick.

Watched this at a bar with Purdue alums. Still can’t believe we won this game. Purdue controlled it for the most part and had a good game plan against us. Smith was clearly gassed late and his shots were coming up way short. Crowd and Krush were impactful. Loved seeing Smith’s failboat down the stretch as karma for the night night gesture last year.

Riley shot 7-14 and 3 of those misses were bunnies at the rim.

Get stronger kid, gonna need that strength to carry this team.
Title: Re: Purdue @ Illinois 7 pm on Fox
Post by: Custard on March 08, 2025, 01:20:58 AM
Probably not going to get much stronger in the last weeks of the season, but for every bunny he misses he makes something crazy.

Really good adjustments on defense late in the game, although PAMan is probably still mad.

I don't remember norovirus being mentioned this year until it was brought up during the game re Tomi.

A 30 minute post-game presser and moxie doesn't get mentioned until the end.

Purdue ran out of gas. We ran em ragged.

Made threes, adjusted on D, Smith ran out of gas. Loved watching him shoot then out of the game at the end after the shit he did last year and running his mouth most of the game.

I'm only  mad it took them so long to tire Purdue out so they started missing shots
