Basketball GAME THREAD: Purdue vs. Rutgers

[bac2therac]

52-44 and its not looking good

No offense and Purdue really outplaying us on both ends

 

[jkernpop]

Great lineup at a pivotal moment, ha! Who’s rebounding or scoring?

 

[BillyC80]

Offensive boards are our undoing tonight

 

[Danprusa_4]

WTF PIKE IS THIS LINEUP

 

[Ridge 22]

Second and third chance 3's have taken us out right out of the game.

 

[ScarletDave]

Starters tired, can’t play the whole game

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Welp. Just don’t have enough.

 

[bac2therac]

Nothing from Harper this half

 

[RU Mike73]

How about we get some rebounds on the defensive end?

Purdue 12 offensive boards for 19 pts.

 

[Danprusa_4]

Starters tired, can’t play the whole game

And it feels as if all there starters stay in the whole game wtf how are we this out of shape

 

[RUsojo]

We’re gonna give up 75-80ish, struggle to score all 2H, and Pikiell is gonna say he’s not worried about the offense we gotta get stops the ball went in 1H just not 2H

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Pikell sucks Wtf lineup he just cost us the game

No wonder the team quits

 

[bac2therac]

Purdue can win this by 20 plus if we aren't careful

 

[bethlehemfan]

Starters tired, can’t play the whole game

Amazing people can’t understand this.

 

[DHajekRC84]

That macconnel pass was so fundimentaly bad. Geez.

 

[richthedentist]

Put the starters back in WTF

 

[Ridge 22]

Same crap every game. Our offense goes dormant for stretches and we get crushed on the boards

 

[jordkap]

We have only 5 guys who scored today… one of which is Oskar… not going to cut it. Need Hyatt, Jones, or Paul to do something

 

[RUTrack94]

Well … that’s three trifectas after an offensive rebound … still playing hard, just can’t buy a bucket.

 

[greenknight]

Basic basketball. You double the post you leave someone open who can shoot. Purdue has guys that can shoot.

Wrong you then need your other 3 players to rotate and play the angles and take away passing lanes. If Edey keeps posting up and putting the ball on the floor they will pick his pocket easily

 

[rob kight]

Harper and Cliff on bench!!

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

And it feels as if all there starters stay in the whole game wtf how are we this out of shape

That’s always the case with other teams. We “rest” our players.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

man what a crappy stretch missing decent shots, t/o's, giving up some bad rebounds--feels like we're slipping closer to burying ourselves

 

[shields]

How many kids have the flu? That could be big reason.

 

[BOCA93]

Wtf. Does anyone know how to rebound? Getting dominated on the glass.

 

[ScarletKid2008]

Ralph A is not even serviceable. Putting him out there against big ten bigs is like us just giving the game away

 

[scarletknight077]

They’ll end up covering in the end. Was a fun half I guess.

 

[MrWise]

That macconnel pass was so fundimentaly bad. Geez.

What is Caleb supposed to do when there is absolutely no movement on offense

 

[SCNJ]

McConnell and Mulcahy handing games away all season

 

[RUsojo]

We have only 5 guys who scored today… one of which is Oskar… not going to cut it. Need Hyatt, Jones, or Paul to do something

Tonight another example of Paul’s leash being unbelievably long relative to some of the other guys on the team. He and 2/3 other guys enjoy an unwarranted longer leash than everyone the last two years.

 

[greenknight]

Edey's strength is he's 7'4 295 we have nobody to match up with him you want jim to put ball on floor

 

[rucoe89]

As the announcer put it “where is the scoring going to come from [for Rutgers]”.
Funny, the fans have been asking the same thing all season.

 

[bac2therac]

Crushed on boards 28-16

 

[RUsojo]

How is Paul still in?

 

[greenknight]

We did nothing to take that one on one clear out away

 

[bac2therac]

Need offense Pike

 

[DHajekRC84]

Hyatt go

How many kids have the flu? That could be big reason.

Hyatt got the doghouse flu?

 

[koleszar]

We look like statues on offense

Earlier everyone was moving constant hustle now back to standing around. O well it was nice to see for a half.

 

[RUsojo]

Remember when Jones coming in and taking away a scholarship from a tournament contending team last year was argued by a certain someone to be a good thing because of this seasons potential?

 

[ScarletDave]

Ralph A is not even serviceable. Putting him out there against big ten bigs is like us just giving the game away

Who else are you going to play as center? Geo Baker??
