TV: Channel 32 in the Chicago area.
Epps out, not traveling with the team.
https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/game/_/gameId/401484992
-
We're now down to the middle of the page on page 7 of 8, and there are 2 teams on page 8. And .3093 puts us at #324 out of 352.
The good news is we're at #41 in shots per game. We've been in the mid 20's.
-
Can’t wait for kickoff!
-
Another early start.
BM has an 80.6% chance of winning.
PU - a TD and Xtra 2
O/U 139
Edey constantly reaches otb for rebounds, elbows a lot, hooks and holds; only called for 1.5 fouls per home game.

He's no George Mikan.
-
I kinda want Harris to wear a Purdue jersey with Edey’s number on it and then hang on him like a spider monkey all game and hope no one notices
-
Hope I'm wrong but am expecting 30 plus from Edey. Dainja is a poor defender and Hawkins doesn't have enough bulk to stop Edey.
-
Edey will get his. Focus on shutting down the rest. Oh, and drive the hoop!
-
Jason Benetti and Nick Bahe doing the game.
Not that I really listen to announcers, but who dat ?
-
I'll be at the park reading

Benetti does White Sox games on TV. Bahe is an unfamiliar name, but I will probably recognize the voice.
-

Nichi is going to be hate-pounding Sanka while he screams at the refs for not calling fouls on Edey.

Benetti is great. I think MNF should hire him.

I never saw the point. I'd rather quit drinking coffee. If I don't want caffeine, I drink water.
We used to buy 8 O'Clock and grind our own or else Chase and Sanborn. We switched to Hills when those became unavailable locally. It isn't what it used to be with all the different grinds. Never liked Folgers. Maxwell House is meh.
-
Stats aren't that different, except for assists/turnovers. Lol.

Jesus fucking christ
-
Underachiever really had the boys ready for the start of this game, didn't he?
-
Shannon has no idea on how to actually dribble a basketball.
-
Can't over come Harris and Epps both being out.
-
This will be a 20 point plus loss
-
Great start, as usual
-
Can't over come Harris and Epps both being out.
Harris is out ?
Guess not.
-
Harris is in? They had him out 15 mins b4 tipoff
-
Pregame said he was out. Oh well need all the help we can get. Edey hasn't scored yet.
-
This will be a 20 point plus loss
Signs point to yes. I'll go with Purdue by 25, although they might decide to rest players at the end.
Nichi is already on his second pot of Sanka.
-
We should try running a packed 1/2/2 or 2/3 and praying they go cold shooting because they're going to continue running an offensive clinic otherwise.
-
These announcers are pure garbage.
Need to rest up and get healthy and hope for a couple of wins in the BTT. Although we are all but locked into the 8/9 seed for that too.
Can't start a game down 11-0. Not against purdue. Having shannon start at the point was fucking retarded.
-

Undy going zone :) :)
I would be full court pressing with edey in the game and try and wear his ass down.
-

Why?

Vs Michigan probably, which might be better than a 7-10 vs PSU.
And, yes.
-
Bahe definitely said "gang ball-handling" earlier and I snickered.
Illinois again looking better with substitutes playing at a higher energy 10 minutes in.
-
2nd foul for Edey.
Whatever company holds the Sanka rights just saw its stock plummet.
-
Why?
Chicken eye.
-
Why?
Their love fest for Purdue.
-
Back in it at least. We need to get Edey with #3 early in the 2nd and we might just have a chance.
-
Dribble the ball shannon. U are terrible
-
They allowed to play soccer now on defense?
-
They're free to do whatever they damn well please today.
-
Well, we won the middle third of the half.
-
Some really bad calls these last 3 minutes. We got tagged for 4 fouls and they registered 0.
-
Purdue is hacking the dogshit out everyone who touches the ball
-
Purdue definitely guarding hard, but damn they foul too and they don’t get called. Found this interesting…

-
We also have way too many stupid turnovers. They can’t miss they wide open 3’s we give them either. Smh
-
They’re just beating the shit out of us. Physically and basketball-wise.
-
Pathetic
-
Perfect ending to the half. No notes.
-
Eddy goes out yet the illinment gets destroyed...😆
-

There is no chance. The team sucks. Can't guard consistently. Can't shoot consistently. A Purdue letdown is the only hope.
-
Terrible half for Shannon.
Newman looks like an All American.
-
Their love fest for Purdue.
Looking like it’s warranted.
-
Felt guilty for switching to golf for a few minutes when it was like 25-20. Guess I shouldn’t have.
-
Forgot about the game turned it on for 30 seconds and saw the following sequence.
Illini player drives the basket and get physically assaulted. Perdue defender rams his entire body into him and punches the illini player in the head, no call. Ball goes the other way. Purdue player uncontested layout. Mystical foul on illini out of thin air since nobody was within 6 inches of the purdue player. Illini get ball. Purdue players kicks it away, no kicked ball called. Illini player does an amazing athletic defensive play to get a block. MYSTICAL FOUL!
-
Getting killed without Edey on the floor during that stretch. Brutal.
-
They're shooting 62% and 6-12 from 3.
We're shooting 40% and 1-8 from 3.
What does TSJ have ? 6 turnovers ?
You can't expect too much when Harris is the leading scorer at the half.
-
-Shannon w/ 5 TO in 1st half.
-Giving up 62% fg
-4 ast/10 TO as a team.
-Most of our starters only have 2pts

Needs more ref blaming
-
Well let’s hope we have a Texas-sized comeback in us, but it appears we’re cooked.
-

Both can be true…
In no way shape or form have these refs been good. At all. To say otherwise is just being dishonest. All season for that matter.
-
Fucking pathetic.
-
3 point shooting and turnovers are the difference.
-
Purdue won't get those calls in the tournament.
-
Mayer literally got hacked on that 3. No call.
-
Even the lame announcers saw that.
-
Air ball
-
Meanwhile, PSU goes on a 30-14 run to beat the Terps by 1.
-
Cut it to 13
-
11…

That likely gets them into the dance.
-
Just terrible terrible turnovers. Inexcusable
-

It should. They've outplayed us in their conference schedule.

Underwood's teams have had a turnover problem since day 1.
I just looked at NCAA stats for asists to turnovers. Lol. Tied with the school he came from at 248-249.

Got right back in it and then start committing even more dumb turnovers.
-
6…
-
4…
-
These bipolar fucks are at it again
-
A couple of those were forced by the defense.
-
What's the deal that they cannot play a full 40 like they play in the final 20?

Look 2 posts up for the answer.

This fucking team.

We don't necessarily deserve to win but the officiating here sucks.

Edey busting Mayer on the head and no call.
-
2…
holy crap i left the room with 2 left in the first half and just came back and was like "wut?"
-
1…
-
Sure. Shove him to the floor too.
-
The refs could at least be consistent on what is a foul.
-
And we just tied it up…
-
Shoulda been a flagrant on Edey
-
Shoulda been a flagrant on Edey
Yep, pushed him after too
-
Yep, pushed him after too
That was the flagrant part.
-
Great play drawn up
-
Nice foul by Morton
-
Got him on the wrist. WTF.
-
Fuck these officials
-
B1G needs to fire all their refs and start over. Game after game is just inexcusable.
-
Would have been nice if that timeout did not wind up being detrimental
-
Mayer 1-10 from 3
-
That hoyer is such a weak ass bitch
-
This fucking team.
Beat me to it.
-
Love the fight. Execution was lacking greatly down the stretch.
-
If we just didn’t dig ourself such a deep hole, we’d have won this. Unbelievable how we continue to spots teams such huge leads THEN clamp down and start playing.
-
Underachiever lucky that the whining about the refs will overshadow his shit play following the timeout that came after an official's timeout
-

The 24-6 run without Edey was fatal for us. If we played them even or pretty close to during that stretch, we mighta pulled this out.

Same story at the end too.
Including the assists to turnovers disparity. PU 1.37 vs Ill 0.86
-
It's a losing formula.
Still trying to figure wtf we were doing out of that final timeout. Zero movement for the 1st 20 seconds of the shot clock.
Also more bad news. Penn St has clinched the 10 seed for the big ten tournament. So we are playing nwestern or Michigan in the 8/9 or play Penn St in the 7/10.

I think a tie breaker outs us at 8
Still games to play tho.

I am also unclear as to why the commentator thought a screen earlier was the greatest play ever. Shannon moved toward another defender instead of staying where the screen would have been more effective.
-

No one seemed to know wtf to do on the play. That's very concerning coming out of a long TO.
-
The announcers were complete tools
The refs were grossly incompetent
PU literally beat us up defensively during that run at the end of the first half
Keady used the same reach in and hack defense. It's probably one of the reasons they underachieved in the tournament.
Nice adjustments by Undie at halftime
Poor decisions by Meyer, tough calls by refs, hurt us at the end.
-
This team could beat anyone...or lose to anyone
I have zero expectations for the tournament(s)
-
Hawkins went the wrong way on the play out of the timeout.
Not having a pg really hurts.

Need to minimize Dainja's minutes, as he a defensive liability.

Even more bad news: The 8/9 game is a 11 AM start. We all know how that's gone for us.
So we're either getting fucked by Jalen Pickett again as PSU is trying to get off the bubble or come out getting blitzed in a 11 AM game. I don't think there's a real preference here lol.

I would like to say officials were fairly consistent letting defenders reach in. Except they called touch fouls on Rodgers and Shannon.

I would like to say you drink Sanka while you wear the George Mikan glasses.
-
Harris with 21 minutes. 11 pts, 5 rbs, 1 steal and 0 turnovers.
-
Back in IL at my brothers watching this today. Fuck that sucked. We sucked. The refs sucked. Purdue’s fans sucked.
-
Melendez is playing way more relaxed, smooth and aggressive when on offense and ultra aggressive on the boards...what took so long to click?
I am afraid we are seeing recruiting video for other teams at this point for this kid unfortunately.

Normal reffing in the Big 10. Edey fouls and shoves the guy to the floor but the refs do nothing for a flagrant. Turn their heads.
Dainja can't guard his luggage at an airport.
Was Hawkins yapping at Painter on sideline at halfcourt? Maybe Hawkins should just shut it and play. Tired of him yapping 150 times a game, it's worn out old. Just play.
The team and coach got to stop this lax play 1st half and have to play their asses off to get back into the game.
Good to see Harris play better, him and Rogers doing better.

Other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?

I dunno..At this point, player retention is fluid. With Harris, Rodgers, Goode, Gibbs-Lawhorn, and Hansberry they will have some ability to extend the defense and create transition offense. Melendez is a good fit for that.

I agree he is a great fit, but the BU schtick seems to have gotten old for him and some other, I hope I am wrong. I have liked this kid since day one....he can take one huge step next year for us.
I think him and Rodgers could be more valuable to us than Shannon is to us this year.
