Rutgers vs Purdue / Game Thread

[bac2therac]

We lead the country in fouling on layups

 

[RUsince52]

Young within range again.

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

Young!

 

[BillyC80]

Up 3 and we get the last shot. Nice.

 

[RUsojo]

LET YOUNG EAT

Keep riding this 3 guard combo Pike all the way to the sweet 16 let’s go!

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

THAT IS HOW YOU 2 FOR 1! CHUCKING A ******* 3 AND GETTING AN EXTRA POSSESSION IS BETTER THAN JUST “LOOKING” FOR ONE “GOOD” SHOT

 

[bac2therac]

Remember Eastern/Williams will be back 2nd half

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

LET YOUNG EAT

Keep riding this 3 guard combo Pike all the way to the sweet 16 let’s go!

Pike is realizing what weve seen for months. Also looks like our guys are making concerted efforts to get 2 for 1’s now too

ESPN needs to fix their boxscore algorithm, lol. Says 6-8 is 71.4%. Up 36-33 at the half - will take it!

After the Harper miss it now says 6-9 is 75%, lol...

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers 36-33..i will take it

Need to play smart

 

[BillyC80]

No complaints.

 

[RUJMM78]

Mathis and Harper miss break away drives and don't get fouled.,Missed scoring opportunities.Rutgers still leads at halftime 36-33.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Wasted last possession. So much for 2 for 1. We got two quick three jacks on the two for 1. Luckily Young made his.

 

[richthedentist]

8 turnovers Myles only playing 6 minutes I will take this. And we are a second half team!!

 

[RuBird]

Up 3 at the half with Myles sitting out a good portion of it. Must play smart when he comes back in. Love this team. Let’s get this done!

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

here's what I expect.. lots of calls next half in Purdue's favor.

hope I'm wrong

 

[ColonelRutgers]

We have a lead. Mission accomplished for the first 20 minutes. Hold on and I’m popping champagne.

 

[Randal7]

Up 3 is up among the best scenarios i could have envisioned for the half...

 

[bac2therac]

WE ARE 20 MINUTES AWAY FROM OFFICIALLY PUNCHING OUR NCAA DANCE TICKET

BRING IT HOME BOYS!

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

Playing well today. Mathis seems a little off on offense. Need to step up the D and we win this sucker. Need one of those 6 minute droughts on defense to come out of the gate....

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

Ok on the road and we don’t have to fight from 15 down. Let’s see that 2nd half intensity they’ve shown all year and we win this game

 

[RW90]

Shorten the bench and ride the hot hand out.

 

[BOCA93]

Keep lighting it up from 3 in the 2nd half

 

[RUsojo]

Tez must be at least +9. Young really flourished with Mulcahy off the floor. Mulcahy/McConnell pairing no bueno. Doucoure first half no bueno.

Could be up double digits with a few different rotations

 

[Randal7]

here's what I expect.. lots of calls next half in Purdue's favor.

hope I'm wrong

No doubt. I just hope that doesn't determine who wins this dang game.

 

[bac2therac]

Honestly our offense is stagnant with Myles in the game...but remember Purdue had their best 2 sitting too

 

[RUTrack94]

No worries here ... Rutgers win$$$$$ .... GUARANTEED!!!!

I made a huge bet on Purdue to win straight up ... I bought the UMD and this win!

 

[RU848789]

Wasted last possession. So much for 2 for 1. We got two quick three jacks on the two for 1. Luckily Young made his.

Great comment by the TV guy that we were in the bonus, so why not drive at the end of the half instead of settling for a long three?

 

[bac2therac]

here's what I expect.. lots of calls next half in Purdue's favor.

hope I'm wrong

Refs calling it fairly even thus far..missed a call on both teams

 

[ballgame4u]

for all the bitching. up 3 on the road at half.

WE ARE 20 MINUTES AWAY FOR OFFICIALLY PUNCHING OUR NCAA DANCE TICKET

BRING IT HOME BOYS!

that is exactly what they r thinking. the effort we r going to see here in the second half will prove it. just hope we keep draining 3's

 

[BillyC80]

Need Pike to deliver one of the greatest locker room speeches of all time. 20 minutes to glory.

 

[BHSPCRU]

here's what I expect.. lots of calls next half in Purdue's favor.

hope I'm wrong

I just was going to type this. This is what happened in Iowa. I sure hope we are wrong.

 

[RUTrack94]

We have a lead. Mission accomplished for the first 20 minutes. Hold on and I’m popping champagne.

Just like a few other road games this year ... but this time they finish the job. We want MICH!!!!

Why would you ever bet against RU? I will never understand ever betting against your team, especially when there are a thousand other bets to make.

 

[rufeelinit]

Halftime Likes: Effort, 3 Pt Shooting, Half court defense

Halftime Dislikes: Decision making in transition offense, Turnovers, Driving into the Purdue bigs and stupid fouls.

Happy to be up 3 but could easily be more. Winnable game but need play well and get it done.

Bet with your head, not with your heart.

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers 23-13 on boards...9-3 offensive

9 turnovers too many but cut back on them late..need to cut that in half

Value possessions

 

[RW90]

Remember Eastern/Williams will be back 2nd half

But so will Myles.

 

[RUsince52]

As long as we limit them to one shot on a miss, we could be OK.

 

[RUTrack94]

When Purdue loses you will understand!
