Second-half thread for NU vs. Purdue

[lou v]

Neither team played particularly well offensively in the first half as both went through extended scoring droughts. But Purdue has a 33-25 halftime lead thanks to a big edge in offensive rebounding. The Boilers have an 8-0 advantage in offensive boards and, as a result, have a 13-0 edge in second-chance points.

NU is shooting 32.0 percent (about average for them lately). Law has 10, Kopp 7, Gaines 5 and Nance hit a 3. And that’s it for scoring. Pardon has to get going: he’s 0 for 4 and has no points and one rebound.

Carsen Edwards leads Purdue with 11 points but he is WAY off today and very inefficient. He’s hit just 3 of 12 shots and missed a few very badly.

Purdue 12 FTs to NU's 6 FTs.

Purdue is literally mugging your players and NW gets called if they breathe on somebody. I have no idea why the Big Ten has such a bone for Purdue?

Good to know that impartial fans see it too.

two no calls on Purdue for a score.

Purdue doesn't need help to win this game, yet the officials feel the need for some reason. This is the most I've seen Collins talk to the refs at any game this year.

Suddenly, the refs call three of Purdue’s various fouls almost in a row.

Telltale sign of a poorly officiated game.

Anyone got replay out there? Did Carson just get to the line for elbowing Law in the throat?

Omg this is really bad reffing and not just against the cats.

Vic carried off the court. Not a good sight.

Dirty play by Edwards, why the hell did he stick his leg out like that? Should be a flagrant foul.

 

[fkfootball]

Carsen Edwards is a dirty P.O.S.

 

[DaCat]

BS offensive foul on Pardon! Refs are horrible.

 

[catcrazy]

This has been a chronic issue. Our poor shooting doesn’t help but refereeing tendencies need to be closely looked at

Yeah, I couldn't believe there was no mention of a potential flagrant. Seemed like it was worth looking at.

Man, Vic just can't catch any breaks. Hope it isn't as bad as it looks.

AJ feeling it!

Just keep feeding AJ!!!

Vic back in the bench with crutches.

Glad to hear the crowd is still engaged.

You guys have some players, like Nance, Benson, Kopp, that should transfer to D-3 schools immediately after the season.

Ya know, I thought Gains had an ugly shot, but Nojel makes him look like a god.

Looks more like an open tibia fracture. With only a cut he'd be walking.

Good to see one of Little Archie's followers watching the game.

Says the guy who's team made a lottery pick look bad enough to not make an all B1G team.

Oh the irony... this clip is Game 6 of Kings-Lakers 2002 - and according to Tim Donaghy, the game was rigged.

Think they would have sent him straight to the hospital with an open fracture, no?
