Kofi and Edey in a battle of the giants is fun to watch. You don't see too many old schools monster bigs bang in the post this size... basically ever
Illinois vs Purdue
- Thread starter Scangg
- Start date
Foul called on every play. Except on Cockburn and Edey who apparently never make contact with anyone.
I bet it's fun for them in a way since they normally don't get to bang with someone their size and not worry about a flop
It's like in pickup ball if someone is way smaller then you and you score in the post it's kind of fun, but I'd much rather bang with someone my own size. You get to be a little more physical

Ivey is sick.
Fraser looks like he could be hurt badly.
Edit: Looks like Frazier might be ok. Good for him if that’s the case.

Indiana played with five players suspended for violation of team rules, two of them starters. This loss could really put them on the bubble if they struggle in their next three.
I don’t have to guess I’ve watched their conference defeats. What does that have to do with anything?
Ivey is a tremendous talent, but will the officials ever whistle him for running with the ball before dribbling it? Often he shuffles his feet before putting the ball on the floor. He doesn’t need that advantage.
I can not wait until Rutgers comes to Mackey…
I have a feeling you won’t like it much…
A half-courter to cut it to 25 this time…

That doesn’t change the outcome at the RAC.
If Purdue does win that game it would make them 1 and 4 against us in the last 5.
Because they are not so much better than the rest of the conference just a little better. If they were clearly great , and there are no truly great teams like Baylor last year, they would be undefeated in the conference. Everybody is beatable. Understand now.
You have been waiting quite a while already
How does that feel?
Your right. I wouldn't think we'd beat you by 28 at your place.
Here's the thing, while you may well win that game, and your average beats our average, our best beats your best.
So it really depends upon which Rutgers shows up and not much Purdue can do about that. Your can only take advantage of the opportunities we provide. That can't feel all that great.
A fan of a top-5 team coming to a message board of a future opponent to talk trash is really funny to me. Like... yeah, your team is awesome, you'll probably beat us at your place. Congrats?
They are clearly a cut above by every metric there is it’s not arguable.
Everyone is beatable….great point there
You win a game for 1st place in the BIG and you come to our board to trash talk? I guess the RAC lives rent free in your head.
Congrats on potentially splitting the season series with us
100% will be playing in the NBA next year.
Will be in discussion for #1 overall.
This probably deserves a separate thread but the BIG Ten is looking to be well represented in the 2022 NBA Draft.
A lot of the star Freshman/Sophomores are looking like 1st round picks.
After a couple years of minimal young 1st round talent, the BIG should really show up this year.
It’s funny that the big bigs in the BigTen aren’t projected very high in the draft. Thirty years ago Cockburn would have been a top 5 pick.
Kofi would've dominated the NBA in the 90s and even the early 2000s. Now in modern day NBA, big men need to be able to do more than just park themselves under the bucket and get hard points in the paint.
Purdue fans have literally been waiting yearssss to beat Rutgers. Loss after loss after loss. So frustrating that we now have Purdue fans randomly coming to our board to talk smack after beating another school when we don't play them for 4 more games. The psychological damage has been done. So good
Remember that time that Jacob Young retired Haarms from B1G basketball?
