RU vs Purdue 1/5/20 Game Thread

[ScarletteK80]

Davenport with the rookie error of major proportion. She will hear about from CVS.

 

[bac2therac]

Any semblence of a working offense and RU is up 20...

The danger is that a few mistakes and made baskets by Purdue can now make this a loss. Remember last years blown lead vs Purdue in the big 10 tournament

Imperative to get a hoop to start the 4th

Ok and what about that !?! The Purdue girl literally HOLDS HANDS with Maori and yet its a foul on us !?! Should have been a hook and hold on Purdue !!! Give me a break!

Wrong, it w was a good call. Be objective , you can still be an RU fan.

Purdue in a buzzer beater 3 pointer shoots the ball and then grabs the outstretched hand of Davenport, almost Pulls her to the ground, and the refs call a shooting foul. Can’t make this stuff up. I will say that’s a genius play by Purdue, either the coach or the player who thought to do that, but the refs are too dumb to not fall for it and no one on our staff cares enough to fight for it. Amazing b-ball IQ by Purdue on that play

Watch the replay for the actual facts instead of stating your opinions as facts

I watch each gane twice. Notice the experienced announcers did not see what you thought you saw.

Meltdown so predictable

[bac2therac]

As bad as the offense is the defense is atrocious

 

[Abro1975]

Epic collapse is tough to watch. Cnon ladies, get it going !

 

[bac2therac]

Embarrassing

 

[ScarletDave]

Meltdown complete

 

[shields]

Dumb play, especially behind the back pass in first half.

 

[Joey Bags]

Holy meltdown batman smdh

 

[motorb54]

Why did she not cross the time line? No court awareness.

2nd quarter a killer.

 

[bac2therac]

19-6 run...38-21 over the past 20 minutes

 

[ScarletteK80]

SIGH.

 

[Abro1975]

Arella w only 9 shots taken is head scratching. She needs to be a leader now

 

[bac2therac]

How many times have we seen the exact same movie

 

[RUTrack94]

Looking like a collapse :(

 

[RUJMM78]

The pony tails are taking over and Rutgers offense is totally inept.Purdue stinks but Rutgers meltdown is making them look good.Tie score fourth quarter 47-47.

She really does, and quickly.

Agree..its not like Purdue is doing anything incredible here

 

[bac2therac]

Guirantes

 

[bac2therac]

Guirantes

Lets finish this...if she has to do it all herself

 

[ScarletDave]

Purdue as usual 1 dimensional primarily but can hit 3s at an unreal clip and that’s been enough to win them most games

 

[RUJMM78]

55-51 Rutgers with 26 seconds remaining.

 

[ScarletDave]

Almost a self fulfilling prophesy ... the talent on our team is actually good, so we can pull out to these leads, and then the psychology of it starts to get to them - they EXPECT a collapse, and so it happens. Then, once the comeback is complete, they go back to normal and can eek out these victories. Need a sports psychologist - the men have shown that they can stay ahead after pulling away, the women need to learn that

 

[RUJMM78]

Giles wins the game for Rutgers on the foul line.59-53

 

[hoquat63]

In a word whew

 

[ScarletteK80]

Looking like a collapse :(

NOPE

 

[ScarletteK80]

Mael was a huge factor in this game.

 

[Abro1975]

RU holds on, and Giles and Arella hitting all their free throws. RU wins 59-53 !

Arella finishes w 22 points

Giles leads w 7 rebounds

Illinois up next .

 

[RUgrad]

Great win, way to hold on vs a tough Big12 contender on their floor. Clutch foul shooting, and we never gave up

 

[RUgrad]

LOL - Big 10 contender

 

[bac2therac]

It was in the bag all along

Congrats on the win. In the end the defense came up big forcing turnovers and Guirantes and Giles came up on the other end

 

[RUClassof67]

Sometimes it’s better to be positive than to predict the worst.

 

[shields]

Big 12? nice win, make foul shots.

 

[ScarletDave]

A win in Mackey arena is as good as any. Get back home and practice hitting layups haha
