Newton fits that mold as well. Plays on one of the best teams in GA

WTF

This importance of this (hopefully) win cannot be understated if we indeed do win. We are so desperate for anything good to happen and we need a turn around to help propel us into the end of our season.

Debating whether or not I watch the end of this game. I left at 39-49 and saw the score is 50-53. I wanna watch now but don’t want to ruin it lol

This team is just mentally exhausting to watch

We’re lucky Ohio State is just not very good

Live and die by X, story of the whole damn season

Awesome 🙄

Agreed, people are talking way too much about Gard and not the assistant. I’m sure there’s a reason Howard went after him and not Gard.

You don’t know how lucky you are

Which is baffling considering the 3 point shot is the name of the game now.

How the hell is that not a jump ball

If Bilas isn’t going to provide any meaningful analysis I’d rather him keep his thoughts to himself

Nothing makes me smile quite like a Brad Davison airball

Not to mention he could’ve made a big difference in slowing down the Illinois guards and their 3 point barrage in the 2nd half. Not saying he would’ve won us the game but his defense would’ve went a long way.

Agree on Al, I was always a fan of his.

Haven’t seen this posted anywhere yet… absolutely ridiculous

Yeah I agree with that. I know it’s kinda pointless to talk about because X wasn’t even in the game but it’s just what was on my mind. I personally don’t mind Race shooting because everything I’ve seen shows he should be shooting a better %. I think it’s a matter of time before more start going in. Will he? Who knows, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take offensively.

Regarding TJD, I’m not sure Ryan Young is as big of a mismatch as you think. We know he struggles against BIG bigs and Young is 6’10 240. I’m not saying he’s super talented, but I’m not surprised his size gave TJD problems. The last two games we’ve played Northwestern TJD has scored 10 & 13 points. Not his worst, but leaves much to be desired. We’re not good enough to go completely away from TJD when he’s not having his best game, but we need to involve him in different ways. I’d run ball screens and drive all game and get TJD the ball in situations where he can use his athleticism to score. Like you said, we need more guys that can break the other team down but I think it’s their best offense.

Personally I was a fan of him laying on the ground for 5 seconds and letting Michigan get a wide open 3 lol

I’m an IU fan first and a Purdue hater second. You better believe I’m rooting for Michigan tonight.

Personally, I think MSU is overrated and we’re just as good as them. Although you have to give them credit, they do find ways to win games. That being said I don’t have any confidence that we’re gonna go up there with the mentality we need to win the game. I hope they prove me wrong, but collectively this team has to come together and figure it out.

Now that’s something to break curfew for

Well, I do vividly remember him falling to the ground a lot. Maybe he gets those called more in the big East.
