Illinois-Purdue

[DHajekRC84]

Nowhere near Iveys athleticism

Didn't say that.

 

[bac2therac]

best game of the year

Purdue up 77-76, Illinois ball, 40.4 left

 

[RuBird]

How many times has Kofi fouled out in his career? Gotta think we can count on one hand

 

[bac2therac]

Interesting that Edey hasn’t even seen the floor in OT.

its a gamble but I think the speed of the Illinois guard and Kofi out better to go with Williams

 

[bac2therac]

Sasha at the line, makes only one

Plummer open under the basket and Ivey misses long 3

we go to 2 overtime

 

[RuBird]

Hated that last shot

 

[RUPete]

Kofi gone but Illinois played pretty good without him

That Verdonk guy gave them big minutes.

 

[Queztastic]

Double OT

 

[DHajekRC84]

Double OT.

 

[Shell21]

Purdue had the game won twice but couldn’t close

 

[RutgersMC]

Awesome game to watch today. Definitely NCAA caliber game.

 

[bac2therac]

I know Ivey wanted that shot, but perhaps a little more urgency there, there was 7 seconds, could have got a better shot than that

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

What a game. Purdue again can’t close.

 

[DHajekRC84]

I know Ivey wanted that shot, but perhaps a little more urgency there, there was 7 seconds, could have got a better shot than that

Never understand these set ups for last second 3s when all you need is 1 point. No effort to get close and maybe a foul. Not just this game.

 

[BigEastPhil]

This is like an elite 8 game.

 

[bac2therac]

Sasha

 

[Shell21]

Shasha quick release

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Man is Verdonk giving the Illini good minutes.

 

[bac2therac]

oh and he is fouled...geez what a quick release

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Maybe we’ll finally get Coleman Hawkins in the transfer portal. Bosemans-Verdonk has taken all of his minutes.

 

[BillyC80]

Purdue has to finish it off now.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Come on man with that stuff. If anything that's not a 3pt foul. They should make those 2 shots rule change.

 

[gregkoko]

Maybe we’ll finally get Coleman Hawkins in the transfer portal. Bosemans-Verdonk has taken all of his minutes.

Love seeing the big man making the hustle plays

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

not sure who I want to win

 

[gregkoko]

not sure who I want to win

Purdue is better for our NET, but Illinois for pure chaos in the B1G standings

 

[bac2therac]

imagine a team wherever everyone is so confident with their shot...wow

Purdue up 87-83

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Purdue now with a third opportunity to close this one out. Can they?

 

[bac2therac]

yeah because we beat Purdue, I want them to win the rest of their games..thats a feather in the cap kind of win, if only 2 teams have beaten Purdue all year, thats going to be big on our resume

 

[BillyC80]

not sure who I want to win

I want Purdue to win this, and then RU to beat IL when we play them at home.

 

[bac2therac]

Purdue now with a third opportunity to close this one out. Can they?

they dont seem to be getting that necessary stop and both times a missed foul shot killed them

 

[Shell21]

Rooting for Purdue as well for us

 

[gregkoko]

That backdoor cut seals it I think

 

[bac2therac]

wow same play

damn Painter is a great coach

 

[RuBird]

Verdonk makes Myles look like Rick Barry at the line

 

[Dpgru]

Can you imagine being in the market where this game goes off the air to see ND vs Howard? Even if you are a fan You have to want to see how this ends.

 

[BillyC80]

That was a good foul on Verdonk

 

[gregkoko]

wow same play

damn Painter is a great coach

Best coach in the B1G and I don't think it's close anymore

 

[bac2therac]

Illinois 3 straight missed free throws, Purdue makes these its probably over

 

[Dpgru]

Purdue finally closing it out.

 

[G- RUnit]

Like defending that other 7 footer they had in Harms. Can't out of physical him but be athletic and fast .

And think Edey at least wears down.
