Fun game, but I wish they let Kofi play a bit more, but such is the Big Ten. Purdue played awesome, but Edey got away with a few, which I’d expect at Mackey but not at State Farm.
I mean Stefanovich hit some crazy threes and Ivey had some wild finishes to keep it close down the stretch for you guys too. It’s not like we’re some scrub team that hit some lucky shots to stay in this one?
That guy was good but so baffling. He was so slow dribbling around a screen and than would just put up a high percentage shot. It seemed like it would be easy to defend against but Purdue couldn’t.
Great fucking game. Hate that the final score makes it look less close than it was. 2OT with a terrible game from Kofi? I’ll take it. Purdue looks so good
Refs totally changed the complexion of this game by taking Kofi put of it. However, Illini rose to the occasion and made a great game of it. GG Purdue. Illini are still in charge of this league. (To all the people who can't count, 6-1 > 4-2.)
You guys shouldn’t is the thing! Such a good game on both sides shouldn’t be punished, but the voters will pull something idiotic out of their butts! GG, ‘twas an entertaining game!
In all fairness this seems like it was Illinois' first actual test in the B10, outside of a solid Iowa dub. If you win at Maryland I can't see you dropping more than a few spots
I’m 1000% looking forward to the next one even though I’m not exactly confident we’ll get revenge just because that was so fun to watch. Also I don’t have the same hate for Purdue that I have for the other top teams which makes it a bit more fun in my opinion
I just hope we realize that Kofi doesn’t always have to be the primary scoring option. We have guys who can shoot and we tend to do better kicking it out anyway.
It is used for either less popular sports or for games like this where you need a second channel to watch a game because 2 are going on simultaneously IIRC
BBV brought great energy on defense, but he won't be relevant in late game situations until his free throws improve. I know he made the first 2 but they were ugly shots
Phantom call. Refs undefeated incoming… ??
2nd missed ft all year.
Fun game, but I wish they let Kofi play a bit more, but such is the Big Ten. Purdue played awesome, but Edey got away with a few, which I’d expect at Mackey but not at State Farm.
Both fan bases are calling out no-calls.
Motherfucker! Purdue was up like 6-8 with 3 left and I was like they’ll win and turned this off. I am dumb.
You obviously don’t watch much Purdue basketball 😅
endless pain
I swear every team hits needle drop shots to keep themselves in the game every time.
I mean Stefanovich hit some crazy threes and Ivey had some wild finishes to keep it close down the stretch for you guys too. It’s not like we’re some scrub team that hit some lucky shots to stay in this one?
I thought Kofi was gonna be the best big man on the court today.
Little did you know Plummer was a killer
That was Illinois’s best and worst conference loss this year.
Great game guys. Thanks for the entertainment.
Too bad yall kicked Jackie Jr out of school. Guy coulda had a better ending.
GG. Trevion Williams is a heck of a player.
Two of Purdue's three go to guys combined to miss 19 shots from the field and commit 6 turnovers.
It’s a good thing we are so deep.
Fuck. Yes.
gg Illi friends. See you in a few weeks
Looking forward to seeing Curbello, he's a high wire act
That guy was good but so baffling. He was so slow dribbling around a screen and than would just put up a high percentage shot. It seemed like it would be easy to defend against but Purdue couldn’t.
If he wasn't just warming up, you'd have easily had us
Man…
Jaden Ivey shot as many free throws as Illinois. That's B1G.
Oh well. Onto the Bulls game!!! Go Ayo!!
Illinois shouldn’t drop in the ranking, absolutely not.
[удалено]
[удалено]
They did win by 8…pretty close
Still pretty sure Plummer’s about to hit 3 more 3’s.
Welp not looking forward to Mackey, we might lose by 30
Dude WTF!
Not sure they can get much more home court advantage than this
Good game to watch -
Great fucking game. Hate that the final score makes it look less close than it was. 2OT with a terrible game from Kofi? I’ll take it. Purdue looks so good
GG Illinois bros. You have a tough team.
Gonna take me 3 hours to come down from this game. GG Illinois bros. Refs were trash
Hell of a game
Refs totally changed the complexion of this game by taking Kofi put of it. However, Illini rose to the occasion and made a great game of it. GG Purdue. Illini are still in charge of this league. (To all the people who can't count, 6-1 > 4-2.)
The first stage of grief is denial
I agreed with you until the final statement. Purdue is definitely the team to beat in the conference.
Edey made kofi his son
LOL gotta love the copium
Can't wait to drop from the rankings after taking #4 to double OT and still sitting at the top of the conference standings
You guys shouldn’t is the thing! Such a good game on both sides shouldn’t be punished, but the voters will pull something idiotic out of their butts! GG, ‘twas an entertaining game!
In all fairness this seems like it was Illinois' first actual test in the B10, outside of a solid Iowa dub. If you win at Maryland I can't see you dropping more than a few spots
AP voters suck. If anything this shows that you all are easily a top 15 team.
Ahhhhh!!!!!
Thank god our guys can shoot FT's
Just gonna act like Ivey missing a FT didn’t send it to OT lol
What.a.game.
Being an Illini fan is a miserable time
don’t act like you didn’t have fun
That was a great game!
Being an Illini fan and Illini +7.5 bettor is worse
Purdue is shooting over 80% from the line in this game
Hunter making 4 straight free throws was such a dagger. If he splits those, even tho Illinois lost by 8, it could have really changed things
Mackey magic
Never in doubt 😅
One last fuck you to the refs
GG Purdue. Would love to see how it would be with Kofi not fouling out and getting some BS calls
Isn’t EHJ like an 85+% free throw shooter over his career?
Yes he has been good. I think he just has a very low volume this year.
5 consecutive road games for Illinois?!?! That's nuts
Nah the graphic was wrong, MSU and Wisconsin are at home
Finally he misses. Thank god. GG lads
great gane all
Never thought we’d get 90. Of course I didn’t think we’d go 2OT, either.
Hell of a game. Good basketball at work is a blessing.
Im afraid we’re gonna get mauled at Mackey
As long as you guys don't let us get an early lead, it's going to be anyone's game
Naw they aren’t that much better than Illinois. Everything that could go right for them did and it still took 2 ots
I don’t think so. Stefanovic shot out of his mind.. kofi in foul trouble all game. You never know
The lesson here is clear.
Exactly, could have finished the game without even going to OT
Purdue is just killing these FTs
Which is ironic because missed free throws allowed Illini to stay alive and force OT and 2OT
Good game from us considering Cockburn was practically non existent for most of the game.
BBV is scary as hell as well.
GG Illinois. not looking forward to the next one
I’m 1000% looking forward to the next one even though I’m not exactly confident we’ll get revenge just because that was so fun to watch. Also I don’t have the same hate for Purdue that I have for the other top teams which makes it a bit more fun in my opinion
That'll do it. GG Purdue.
well they really did try but not much you can do in a 5v8
you guys went like 10 minutes without a point in the 1st half but sure blame the refs (they were shitty though)
We need a 3 curbelo, there’s not much time left and Purdue isn’t missing their FTs
I just hope we realize that Kofi doesn’t always have to be the primary scoring option. We have guys who can shoot and we tend to do better kicking it out anyway.
If BBV can play the defense he did and rebound like that, you all will go very very far.
OH MY GOD
Ivey: 12/15 FT
13/15 for Ivey, and 12/15 for Illinois.
EHJ shoots 76% for his career barely had any attempts this year duh
There’s a lot of time left for a team that can’t close games. Don’t know why y’all think it’s over
Gg Purdue y’all good af
I think y'all will be top 10 within the next month.
Tried to do too much there, Curb…
Eh I don’t hate it. We needed a fast bucket and that was a decent option.
Tbf he almost got the roll
We're gonna be here for 20 minutes.
Purdue so strong on the boards today.
GG
Absolutely clutch performance by EHJ in OT today
Solid way to spend my morning to kick off a day of sports watching.
Did we just decide we are done defending?
That’s our typical end of game defense.
That seems to be the trend of the year
y'all aren't going down without a fight and i respect that
Maybe slow them down a little
Eric "ice cold" hunter jr
me: oh my fucking god that 1-and-1 will haunt us, fucking FTs
These last 25 seconds are gonna take awhile
IU gonna be spooky this year with the new coach
after today, i think we lose on thursday
Fuck IU
GG Purdue. Look forward the second time around.
This game isn't over yet. A couple missed FTs and some made baskets and this game is close.
Hell of a game, Illinois peeps. Probably the best I've seen this season. You guys have a HELL of a team.
Except me, I’m toxic as hell. JK, Gg
Gg B1G friend
B10 Basketball at it's best
Our ability to make all the wrong plays down the stretch is unmatched
can we not allow them to score in 3 seconds please
Can we make them use some fucking time please?
Lol I didn’t even know there was a fox sports 2. Did they just make that up?
It is used for either less popular sports or for games like this where you need a second channel to watch a game because 2 are going on simultaneously IIRC
Illinois shouldve been shooting 3s the whole game
"don't foul immediately, try to get a steal" illinois immediately fouls "well there you have it"
At least our Big Ten loss is a good loss, unlike MSU
College Football Playoff Committee Intensifies
These announcers are dumb as hell
I'm in pain
Illinois did everything they could. Had the game taken by the refs, nothing they could do about it
Bad take
Your Purdue hate-boner is entertaining
Just give our guys credit. We aren’t gonna lose bc of the refs. We took #4 to 2OT. No shame in that
We took it away from ourselves. Gave up a 17-0 streak
Ivey more free throws than entire Illinois team
Hope we get them next time. GG Purdue
some of y'all calling this over WAY too early
Agreed
Gg Purdue you guys are super tough. Hell of a fun game.
Flop changed the whole OT2, but gotta hit the FTs
There have been a lot of shitty calls this game, but that just wasn’t one of them.
Not bad, but just took too much time!!
It's low-key disappointing when OT games end up being decided buy 3+ possessions
GG purdue guys
I'm big sad
pain.
GG Illinois and Purdue bros
Illinois just looks gassed.
Me too
That was a great game, great environment
Any team that can press us for 40 minutes will win. We CANNOT handle it.
Right. Iowa erased a 20 point deficit on the road because of it
barely any team can do that thankfully
Thats too bad. Clearly two best teams in the conference
“Clearly”? We’re 6 games into conference play lol
game deserved a better finish
I’m so glad I decided to work from home today.
Ivey trying to break that press trap via travel again
Gg Purdue. What a great fucking game. So proud of our guys
Y'all played hard as fuck. Great game
Agreed! Both teams gave all today. GG
I'm just happy no one posted the "Am I missing something? Why is Purdue an underdog?" rat poison thread before this game.
Make your free throws ladies and gentlemen, that is all.
BBV brought great energy on defense, but he won't be relevant in late game situations until his free throws improve. I know he made the first 2 but they were ugly shots
Damn all of the great clutch shots and it's going to end at the free throw line.
that was an optimal time to miss a ft
Sasha is somehow the leading rebounder in this game as well as Purdue's leading scorer
Practice your free throws, kids
Gotta hand it to the refs they played lights out today helping the boilers, really helped them earn this victory, respect
Bad take.
Nah this ain't it
Man….nah. Some bad calls but it’s not why they’re gonna win
Damn, that’s heartbreaking. I think that’s a wrap
Great game
illini gonna be spending a lot of time at the free throw line these next few practices
Purdue should as wells
They didn’t foul Ivey, he threw his arms out and gave him the foul
gg Purdue. Next time let's play with better refs.
criminal that Kofi got out that early. could’ve really pulled away from this one
Honestly I don't think so. Kofi looked outmatched today.
Gg boys.
Verdonk is a pretty cool last name ngl, you can’t help but naturally emphasize the donk part of the name
Ballgame
Good defense shouldn't be punished with a foul
The reffing was equally frustrating all around, can’t complain
At any point in the 2OTs, did brad look at Curbelo and tell him to chill?
Should have. He is enormously talented but frequently tries to do too much
Dumb foul hunter!
Seems good to me lol
Y'all haven't been called for them all game so I'm shocked they actually did.
No matter what happens, these two teams are top 15, probably even top 10 teams
[удалено]
Unfortunately, Grandison and Williams at the 4 are better matchups in this one. Hawkins isn't big enough to guard Williams or Edey for long.
Gg. At least we played our asses off despite Kofi shitting the bed
Huh?! Maybe Williams should have been looking for cutters instead of contorting himself for fadeaways from 12 feet the whole game?
