Your premise is flawed. The Ayo/Kofi team won plenty of "big games." By your logic, every team in the country that doesn't win the national championship is guilty of not winning a "big game" so I guess every coach but one is incompetent.
his so called strategy of using hansberry over dainja was puzzling. if he thought Edey was bad foul shooter why did he not foul him every time in last 2 minutes to extend the game?? as great as first half it was, second half was a debacle
"Debacle." They lost by six to of the of the three best teams in the country, largely because Purdue made two 3-pointers after maintaining possession on 50/50 balls. Get a dictionary.
It was a debacle losing after leading 30 minutes of the game. At home. Purdue has lost 3 games to big ten teams that are ranked lower than Illinois. At home, we needed to win this game and we were definitely in a position to win it for first 30 plus minutes of the game. Not using Guerrier and dain enough killed the chances,@@johnwalker4213

Chemistry is alot better this year than last year. We've won more games last 4 years than any Big 10 team. We have no true PG or Center. It is what it is. Hats off to Purdue.
Casual fan- team chemistry is through the roof in Champaign. Domask our best player? Stop the jokes. Purdue isn't shooting 80% from 3 most halves, and Illinois is handing the blueprint to other teams on how to beat Purdue
@@was75872Might want to double check your stats. Purdue has won more Big Ten games and more games overall than Illinois. So that blows your narrative right out of the water
Purdue shot 80% from 3 in the second half. They scored 45 pts in 2nd half, 35 from 3 or the FT line. Edey is a good player, but he's just big. Smith, Loyer, Jones are what makes the engine run. If you eliminate the 3 ball, Purdue is a below average team. I don't understand the adjustment to take away Edey in the 2nd half. It was clearly working to let him "cook", or whatever the hell you call 28 pts on 23 shots and 50% from the FT line. Shannon's 2 fouls took him out of the pace of the game, but hes got to take the ball through Edey's chest when he's late running the floor. Hawkins has to shoot the ball when it moves to him naturally in rotation. Dainja/Hawkins combo needed more minutes.
At this point, Underwood has won BIG 10 championships(regular season and tournament). I'm not thrilled about the loss but I'm looking at the bigger picture, which is the journey and having more success and a long run in the tournament that matters. We have not been past the first weekend in 18 yrs. I care more about these guys making a Sweet 16 to Final 4 run than whether they beat Purdue . They competed with Purdue, they were winning most of the game, and they can play with pretty much any team in the country. It's about the journey, improving defensively, fixing up the loose ends, and being locked in come tournament time. This team could lose in the 1st round and this team could also make a Final 4 run if things go their way. Let's see what happens
Underwood didn’t miss open threes. Perdue made tough shots down the stretch Shannon wasn’t good tonight. If we meet again in the BG10 we might beat them.
@@kylewiebenga8877 Underwood critics do not complain about that. They complain about his poor rotations in the game that are absolutely horrendous. Dainja was only one giving some resistance to Edey yet Underwood put Hansberry in there for no reason. If he wanted to foul Edey, no fouls were given to Edey in last 3 minutes when we were down. Gurrier was cooking - yet he did not design a single play for him and just took him out in favor of BBQ chicken Goode. And on and on
As a Purdue Fan, I must complement coach Brad’s attitude and his mentality. I know he is getting ripped right now by the fan base (yours), but I was expecting a big Bitch-fest about the officiating and how it's impossible guarding Edey, but Underwood never went there. (Most coaches, like little Chrissy Collins, do). I thought the game was pretty evenly well-called and the refs let the players dictate the action. I hear what you guys are saying about the lack of a point guard and poor substitution patterns for the Illini, but it's hard to beat a quality team the very first year a team is assembled. Purdue stumbled plenty last year, but everyone has grown individually and, more importantly, learned how to play together as a unit. You guys assemble talent like it's fantasy football, trying to get the 5 best individual players. But more thought should be put into, how those individual players should fit and play together as one team. Painter gets ripped for recruiting one high-4/low-5 star, and then a bunch of 3 stars he knows that will play defense and that he can mold. But he gets players that can fill certain “roles” for the team. I thought Illinois was at their best when Shannon was suspended, and Domask was the primary scorer. He could put up 30 any night, Hawkins puts up 15-20 nightly, and you have at least a trio of starters or bench players capable of contributing 8-10. Scoring was never your guys problem. It slow spurts, overlooking opponents (Maryland, anyone?), and lack of hustle at key moments. We’ll probably see you again in the Big Ten Tourney. I'll still be rooting for you guys come March Madness, as long as you stay clear of the Boilers. We would hate to have to beat you guys a fourth time this season. Boiler Up!
Shannon just wants to go to NBA. Played an extra year of high school to go to IMG to get a D1 offer. Then tried without success to go into NBA from Texas Tech, no luck so transferred to a bigger program. Settled on Illinois after he couldn’t get into Michigan due to poor academics. Illinois AD did the right thing suspending him. Too bad it didn’t hold. He has been a distraction to the team all season.
Terrence is an honor roll student studying sociology. He didn't get into Michigan because he needed an extra course because one of his didn't transfer from Texas Tech. He would have had to pay out of pocket for the summer school class at Michigan. He still needed the course to get into Illinois as well but they gave him the schollie and then incorporated the class into his regular fall schedule so he wouldn't have to pay for the class. So it wasn't due to poor academics. Also he hasn't been a distraction to the team. He's one of the leaders on the team and their best player along with being respected by his team mates and everybody in the program. You have no clue what's going on in Champaign and the Illinois basketball program.

Turnovers poor coaching from daddy Brad second half. Expect another first or second round exit
When will this team or any underwood team win a big game
I just hope the players don't get down from this home loss and end up losing their final 3 games of the season like last year.
Painter didn’t get out coach Brad. Purdue made 8 -10 from 3 in the second half. Shot 62% from the floor. We had open looks but didn’t convert.
