[ClassOf02v.2]

Who the hell is Jenkins?

 

[mildone_rivals]

Damn that kid. He can’t miss. He’s killing us right now and we’re in his face.

 

[zappaa]

Question
Why aren’t we in their faces like they are ours

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

What a cut/pass

 

[Rokodesh]

What a pass

 

[biazza38]

PAUL!!!!
He’s so good not as pg

 

[bac2therac]

Huge by Paul and Cam

Get a stop

 

[RU-Esq]

Gillis and Jenkins haven't missed a shot. And we're still right there. Great effort.

 

[koleszar]

It sure as hell feels like it they're perfect from 3's this half.

 

[biazza38]

Can Bardo stop rooting for Purdue

 

[bac2therac]

Morton has been awful all year

 

[RU-Esq]

5 of 8 from 3 for Purdue this half... that's tough to stop. Opposite of yesterday's game.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Just hitting backbreaking 3s. Hat throw

 

[Joey Bags]

2 out of last 3 threes they hit were locked down on d. Damn

 

[Rokodesh]

Who the hell is Jenkins?

Purdue's best player

 

[RUfromNJ]

Now they’re lights out from 3

 

[runner1954]

Who the hell is Jenkins?

Bench player, We have…..jalen miller. Enuf said

 

[carmenst]

I think they're perfect from three this half or it sure as hell feels like it.

5 for 8

 

[RU848789]

JFC they can't miss from deep now and most of these have been well defended...

 

[KingOfTheEast]

Lucky shots...I aint worried

 

[kt124]

theres always a random from the other team that gets hot against us

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Travel not called on Perdie shocking

 

[zappaa]

They are stuck to us and we rely on close outs.
Is there a reason for that?

 

[SBP]

They have shooters. Can’t stop it. WE NEED SOMEBODY TO STEP UP

 

[YoucancallmeRay]

Little by little right? Maybe next year he'll start hitting the rim. Then the year after he might get 1 out of 5.

Shhh.

 

[BillyC80]

We’re playing well enough to beat most top 20 teams today, but Purdue now getting hot from 3.

 

[RU Mike73]

I hope they cool off.

 

[scarletknight077]

Keep chipping away. They can’t keep hitting these forever

 

[gigantor1024]

Man the first two of those 3s our defense was insanely excellent.

 

[RUby RED]

Who the hell is Jenkins?

I wish we had a 9th man we could pull out of our *** to hit contested triples lol

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Credit Purdue for hitting their shots, but our D needs to step it up. 21 points in 11 minutes ain’t us.

 

[RUScrew85]

Purdue is going to need to cool off from 3 or we're in trouble.

Boys are playing great today.

 

[SBP]

They are stuck to us and we rely on close outs.
Is there a reason for that?

Yes hedging on EDY. Pick your poison

 

[bac2therac]

5 of 8 from 3 for Purdue this half... that's tough to stop. Opposite of yesterday's game.

Nothing you can do if their bench is going to step up

We are playing the right strategy in D

Just need to keep responding on our end and try to sneak the win at end

 

[RUChoppin]

Those two late shot clock threes were also two feet back from the line. Neither are shots you would take if a violation wasn't imminent. Credit to him, but damn.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Need this basket. Preferably a Cam 3

 

[mildone_rivals]

We’re playing great right now. In their face all the time. If we lose, it’s because there’s a reason they’re #5 in the nation, not ‘cause we are bad.

Keep at it, they can’t keep hitting 3s at this rate. Stay the course.

 

[njxchange]

man they cant miss from 3s now.... (

 

[MrWise]

That pass from Mulcahy was just filthy.

 

[GM]

Defense has been fine, Purdue just hitting shots rn. Keep grinding.
