Rutgers-Purdue Game Thread

Mathias for 3....goodnight Irene 59-43...too much inside outside...Purdue is the most complete team in the league

 

[gigantor1024]

I keep seeing RU players drive to the basket getting hit by contact, no fouls called. Consistency is key, officials ruin basketball again

 

[RUonBrain]

Freeman - stay on your man, dammit!

Another wide open 3

No need to double the big guy and leave your guy wide the F open!

 

[Jim_from_RU]

High on effort, low on talent.

Stop already. We drive to the basket and don't know how to finish. And the D collapses on us and viola, a TO.

 

[bac2therac]

WE HAVE NOT MADE A FREAKING FREE THROW ALL GAME LONG...DAMMIT...of course we have not taken one...can we at least draw a foul on a shot

 

[RUeric]

Freeman is too much of a free man on defense. Sags wayyyyy too much on his helps. Out of control on his recoveries.

 

[RUJMM78]

Purdue 59-43.It was only a matter of time before Purdue went on a run .Once again Rutgers can't score and a good team will make you pay for lack of offense.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Why doesn't Pike give Diallo a crack at defending Haas?

 

[bac2therac]

haha more ref crying from the board...put your big boy panties on

 

[80RU]

Here we go with the ref BS again.

Oh stop, they did get about 3 favorable calls very short period of time – – I have no idea what the rest of the Game was like but the coach was reasonably upset over those couple of minutes

 

[ScarletDave]

Ok. If you are reading this do not go into freakout mode please ... we know what we know. Purdue has wayy better athletes, and more of them, and will pull away a little now. Our team is what it is but there are a lot of positives. Do not start ripping all our athletes please. They all do some great and not so great things.

 

[Degaz-RU]

So Haas throws our guy out of the way, and we get called for the foul? Got it.

 

[koleszar]

Wow what a well coached team Purdue has only 7 fouls the entire game so far. Hats off coach!

 

[RUBand]

Pike on tv yelling to the refs, about Hass pushing off (all night).

 

[RU848789]

Our big men getting completely abused tonight - that's the difference in this game.

 

[bac2therac]

Sanders 3-14...some pretty bad shot selection forcing almost everything

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers still has not shot a foul shot with 7 minutes to go.Purdue manhandling Rutgers 64-45

 

[Scangg]

Haas doesn't start?? Wow

 

[bac2therac]

Our big men getting completely abused tonight - that's the difference in this game.

Haas off the bench has 19/11
Swanigan having an off night has 10/13

 

[bac2therac]

if people think we are okay losing Getty and Doorson/Diallo will make up for it are fooling themselves, its pretty mandatory to get a Gettys level 5th year guy or JC guy....we will be brutal in the paint defensively

 

[RUeric]

Got to give it up to Nigel. Having a hell of a game shooting.

 

[bac2therac]

can you imagine if Nigel wasnt having a career night

 

[RUonBrain]

Refs...

 

[G- RUnit]

Corey popped in face! No call. Refs are a joke.

 

[RU848789]

Refs have not called a good game tonight, but that's maybe a 5-6 point swing, not the 17 point difference we have.

 

[gigantor1024]

Rutgers still has not shot a foul shot with 7 minutes to go.Purdue manhandling Rutgers 64-45

exactly. Hey experts tell me the game isn't being called fairly. Plenty of And1 buckets have not been called for RU tonight that have been called at the other end

 

[bac2therac]

38-24 difference on the boards....

 

[RUBand]

"Popped in the chops" not a foul

 

[RUTrack94]

RU about to set an NCAA record ... No free throws!!! If it stands, can never be broken!

 

[koleszar]

WOW two open looks for Mike and clank both times. That's bad. And they punched Sanders in the face too boot.

 

[bac2therac]

69-48, will we cover

 

[RUJMM78]

69-48 Purdue ,4 minutes to go.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Geezus, I've never seen a team dominate so thoroughly in the paint. This is like an NBA team playing against a high school JV team.

 

[RU Mike73]

We are no threat to score down low. No need to foul.

 

[gigantor1024]

I just think it's funny cause we can fight to within 4 points without any help from the refs. In fact we had an opportunity to cut it to 2 points but there wasn't a foul called on a drive basket opportunity. And then they call everything for Purdue. If officials in NCAA basketball were actually fair you would see more competitive and fun games. It's stupid that officials literally decide how the game is played.

 

[bac2therac]

exactly. Hey experts tell me the game isn't being called fairly. Plenty of And1 buckets have not been called for RU tonight that have been called at the other end

most of RU's shot are jump shots or Corey's patented driving into trees falling away from the basket. RU has no post game, thats why nothing is getting called, everything is a jumper

 

[Jim_from_RU]

We better hope Pikiell can recruit, because our overall talent is really, really poor.

 

[G- RUnit]

Williams wide open threes not at end of shot clock.

 

[koleszar]

Shame Nigel had to have his best game of the year for this beat down. Could have used this performance in one of the winnable games.
