Rutgers vs Purdue / Game Thread

[Tango Two]

Ron Harper Jr. is dressed and stretching at Mackey Arena with a little over an hour until tip. Have not gotten official confirmation, but he is expected to play against the Boilermakers. That's a big lift for the Scarlet Knights in a huge game. -- Fonseca

That's a nice shot and a good looking arena. Hoping we can expand the RAC and keep it's core structure.

My grandson who is a senior at Purdue is at the game in the student section. He played against Paul M. A few times in high school. Go RU beat Purdue from my end. O yes his mother is a RU grad.

Harper has fingers on his left hand taped, but he warmed up, shooting threes, testing his left hand with some floaters and throwing down a dunk. Rutgers is rolling with the same starting five of Geo Baker, Paul Mulcahy, Caleb McConnell, Ron Harper Jr. and Cliff Omoruyi. Harper is a go: https://tinyurl.com/ycxt8sgp -- Fonseca

Their Student section is juiced and loud
No masks to stifle their noise

Always thought Ron would play today, but am very happy to see his shooting looking good. Purdue shooting well, though and getting very open looks - our D isn't quite what it's been lately.

 

[robjknight]

Hope everyone had the over!

 

[rtabachk]

Perimeter defense mia

 

[greenknight]

Perimeter defense must improve

 

[Mbash93]

All there threes have been wide open and I think 3 out of 4 coming from edey screens.

Gotta get back and fight over his screens

 

[Danprusa_4]

[bac2therac]

Purdue coming out strong

We had 2 chances to take lead and took bad shots and they made us pay

Stop helping and cover your assignment

We over help a lot over the years.

We’re gonna have to make shots tonight

Ivey creating the open shots for Gillis.
Stefanovic is a chucker but dangerous when he gets hot
