March 4, 200422 yr Jesus.... close friggin game... I bet Keady's toup is going to need to be refitted after this hair puller.
March 4, 200422 yr Purdue lays it in. Tie game LETS GO ILLINI! 1:30 left. Augustine with a great hook shot. 1:00 left. Purdue hits jumper. Tied. 37.5 seconds left. Tied. COME ON ILLINI!
March 4, 200422 yr Mini-colon shoots it way too early, purdue misses, and can you say OT. Yes. 1 point Illini lead with about 2:45 to go.
March 4, 200422 yr Lowe w/ the 3...WOW to tie it 79-79...and Illini goes back down and gets a basket 81-79 w/ .9 left...
March 4, 200422 yr whew, what an exhausting and exciting game. Props to head for saving our ass, and props to Purdue, they put up a fight.
March 4, 200422 yr Author Somehow Lowe hits another impossible 3 for Purdue, roger puts up a shot.. CLEARLY GOALTENDING...IM SCREAMING AROUND LOOKING THE OTHER WAY, AND CATCH LUTHERS SHOT GOING IN. At that point i twist my ankle and can barely walk... BUT f*** YEAH! WHAT A GREAT WIN!!!!!! GO ILLINI! BIG 10 CHAMPS... NOW TO GET IT TO OURSELVES SUNDAY!
March 4, 200422 yr Where the f*** was the foul call on Powell on the last play? Didn't that other guy pat the ball when it was on the rim? Thank God we won!
March 4, 200422 yr Author that traveling call that got us the ball at the end was key. Whats funny about that is I've read some Purdue fans on some various message boards say that Deron fouled him... And Im thinking to myself, what the hell are you talking about, Lowe pushes Deron off of him, and then loses the ball. So i dont know what the hell they were seeing. I think my heart finally slowed down, so now i can relax a little...
March 4, 200422 yr I'm just now recovering from this game. Wow, what an exciting win. My reaction was pretty much the same as Elcaballo45. I was screaming for the goaltending and just barely saw luther go back up for the shot. This was huge. Illinois needed to win a real close game. The last time they did that was against Indiana back at the beginning of February. This should just add to the momentum they already had going into today. Good job of Illinois fans showing up in big numbers at West Lafayette and being heard. Shame on Purdue fans for not supporting their team when they needed them.
March 4, 200422 yr Author College Gamenight is about to start (12 p.m.) on ESPN2, hopefully they'll give some props to Illini's win tonight.
