Purdue's size is killing Illinois. Honestly, I'm not looking forward to playing Purdue either time.


I slightly disagree.. I think we matchup much better at every position except the 5. It will still be tough to pull out a win in WL but I like our matchup overall. AJH and IH will get theirs but we will run them up and down pretty well, IMO. Trade 2s for 3s and we will be fine

I'm interested to see how Hartman and Holt can do. Obviously they aren't quite up to par size wise against Haas and Hammons, but they go through that essentially every match-up and have done pretty well for the most part imo. Would love to have Mosquera-Perea for this match-up, but I think our guards can have a lot of success against Purdue, and I don't think Haas and Hammons are good enough yet to beat us on their own.

Haas picks up dumb fouls rather often.  If the game is called like it was at the other assembly hall he will be on the bench for most of the game.

Drilling down----Purdue 's inside game was not that amazing-----Hammonds with 8 points and 7 rebounds and Haas with 2 points and 2 rebounds.

 

Illinois was better inside---Egwu with 11 points and 7 rebounds and Black with 15 points and 13 rebounds.

 

Black had an outstanding game for the Illini.

 

I personally don't find Purdue's interior that dominating---Haas is huge but his stats are just average--Holt is better.

 

And Hammonds----is just Hammonds---plays when he wants to.....

Think we could use him??

@ESPNStatsInfo: Baylor's Rico Gathers grabbed a school-record 28 rebounds. He's the 1st player with a 28-rebound game since La Tech's Paul Millsap in 2006

Wow---but did you see his competition?

 

Baylor beat Huston-Tillotson 81--61.

 

Gathers with 25 points and 28 rebounds.

 

Fields with HT had 27 points.

 

Who is Huston--Tillotson???

Nothing to great. Purdue vs Illinois most interesting. Wouldn't be surprised if Tulsa, St. John's, or New Mexico get the W.


Had it pegged....almost. 5-3. Tulsa and St. John's did hold home court and NM got it done. SMU soldiers on. Illinois helps our cause.
