Rutgers-Purdue Game Thread

[G- RUnit]

We begin a nice run and the fouls come... coincidence...

 

[RU848789]

I think he's listed as 8'4" 475 lbs.

reminds me of this guy...

 

[DHajekRC84]

Loved to see Shaq on Ivan Draggo....playing him VERY well.

 

[ScarletDave]

Purdue is also clearly the best team in the Big Ten. Big, HUGE players at seemingly every position, huge bench as they played us tight D all half, can sink the 3, and when in doubt dish it to Haas who is just ridiculous and IMPOSSIBLE to defend ... that said, unbelievable job by Pike and staff, and the guys are fighting

Would be nice if Corey and nigel had a big second half.

They're really good - they have everything - I'll be happy if we can stay within 10.

 

[koleszar]

Now that was stupid.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Thiam!

 

[RUBand]

Gettys!!!!!

 

[G- RUnit]

Nice play Williams. Good lord.

 

[RUonBrain]

35-31!

 

[RUBand]

That is what sanders needs to do, drive and dish

 

[RUJMM78]

It would be nice for sanders and Johnson and to both bring their A game at the same time for once

The lack of scoring consistency game to game is the main reason Rutgers can't pull out wins against league competition.Today Johnson is hot but Williams has no points plus no help from post players.

 

[koleszar]

How was that not a foul on Freeman? The guy hit his hand to knock the ball out. Right in front of the ref.

 

[bac2therac]

Purdue has spurtability

 

[RU848789]

Horrible start with the bad pass by Williams, the poor defense on Swanigan and Freeman missing an easy layup. Could easily be down just 2-3 here.

 

[bac2therac]

39-31

 

[RutgersRaRa]

How was that not a foul on Freeman? The guy hit his hand to knock the ball out.

He still has to finish that. Fvcking drives me nuts that we don't finish around the rim. Even with contact that should be a bucket 80% of the time.

 

[RUJMM78]

Purdue has spurtability

Purdue is getting too many fast break layups.

 

[ScarletDave]

Some costly mistakes letting Purdue pull out to an 8-pt lead but good TO by Coach. Our ball, nail a shot here and keep our head in the game

 

[scarletKNIGHT07]

Ugh. Missed layups

 

[Degaz-RU]

I wish the stats included missed bunnies. We would lead the universe.

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

They are just so.....BIG.

 

[RUonBrain]

If Gettys could hit those jumpers at the top of the key, we would be neck and neck

 

[RUTrack94]

Game is closer than expected (was 25-12 when I turned on the radio) ... I see no FTS yet. ... Guess that's a good thing!

 

[bac2therac]

Purdue really asserting themselves becoming more physical...42-33

 

[RutgersRaRa]

When we foul guys around the rim, they make half of them. When we are fouled, we make maybe 20% of them. We shy away from contact. I hate seeing other teams finish. If we're gonna foul, foul hard.

 

[Degaz-RU]

If Gettys could hit those jumpers at the top of the key, we would be neck and neck

Yeah, he's missed four wide open elbow jumpers. Damn shame.

 

[ScarletDave]

Now we have begun fouling ... will cost us (amongst other things)

 

[RUonBrain]

We have to remember we are playing on the road against the top team in the B1G.

Can't be too upset at this point

 

[Degaz-RU]

We're basically having our best game shooting the three, but we're still down by 10.

 

[RUONTHERISE]

Stay in the game and you never know.

 

[RUTrack94]

Not watching the game yet, but checked stats ... Only 4 fouls on Purdue ... It's like an RU women's game ... Settling for jump shots?

 

[RUJMM78]

42-33 Purdue.They just have more players that can create and make shots while every possession for Rutgers is hard to watch with no shooters on the court.

 

[RUBand]

Good drive by Freeman

 

[G- RUnit]

Edwards all over Freeman. No foul.

 

[RU Mike73]

Another layup miss by Laurent

 

[RUonBrain]

Laurent missed layup

Ugh

 

[koleszar]

Does Laurent do anything well?
