Rutgers vs Purdue / Game Thread

[Rokodesh]

Not our night. Take care of Michigan and back in the W column

 

[YoucancallmeRay]

Purdue played a great game on both ends. Got to give them credit.

 

[Rutgersray1]

Ron wasn't Ron and Geo wasn't Geo. Purdue was great. If Both brought it we have a 3 to 5 point game

 

[fatsam98]

Caleb still playing defense with 5 fouls

 

[jkernpop]

Good stuff caleb more DPOY tactics lol

 

[NJDOVES]

Geo out the first game with Purdue and no show tonight!

 

[RU848789]

pretty funny (and smart) on the Caleb "sit down" thing

 

[RUScrew85]

We beat them 4 times in a row. Going to lose sometime.

And they're the #5 team in the nation. Deservedly.

 

[Scangg]

Caleb DPOY while fouled out still preventing points

 

[bac2therac]

Caleb with the defensive stop

 

[BillyC80]

Caleb even defends FTs from the bench.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Hot dang mulcahy is fuggin good man.

 

[newell138]

this will cheer everyone up

 

[bac2therac]

Caleb is a great defender, but if the refs call it tight on him against a very quick guy like Ivey, fouls pile up fast. Wonder if we should've tried more Miller on him, although that's obviously a size mismatch. Tough guy to handle.

well he picked up his first 25 seconds into the game..cannot have that

 

[RUsojo]

Ron wasn't Ron and Geo wasn't Geo. Purdue was great. If Both brought it we have a 3 to 5 point game

? Geo is one make off his average shooting percentage. Basically playing his normal game tonight. Ron is 4 of 9.

 

[tfio]

Needed our A+ game to win tonight. We didn’t bring it. Finish strong here and then let’s regroup for Michigan

 

[rtabachk]

Of all the games to lose remaining on our schedule this was the one. The line is pretty close for now. Believe it ended at -13.5..

 

[bac2therac]

Please stop with lobs

 

[chickenpatty2]

ENOUGH WITH THE ALLY OOPS.
FOREVER!!!!!!!

 

[RUby RED]

Geo is pretty terrible at throwing lobs

 

[RUsojo]

Geo forcing a bunch of lobs, not quite as good as Paul. Making cliff get contested each time

 

[ClassOf02]

Geo’s lobs have been bad all year.

 

[RutgersNo1]

I can pass better than Geo.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Tuff night for Geo. Those alley oops have been awful.

 

[koleszar]

Geo makes some really sh*tty passes.

 

[80RU]

Geo's lobs have just been off tonight

 

[greenknight]

Offensive foul

 

[rucoe89]

so when Ivey pushes off its a foul on Geo. When Geo pushes off, its a foul on Geo. I got it.

 

[BillyC80]

Geo’s lobs are often too high.

 

[tfio]

Man I know these alley oops look great when they work but we’ve been trying them for years now and I think they’ve probably worked half the time

 

[RUTRINI]

Didn't need that Geo

 

[FIJI'83]

Please stop with lobs

AGREED!

 

[rucoe89]

What about Williams?

Thought we managed him better in second half.

 

[newell138]

At this point just start lobbing up 3s

 

[Knightmoves]

Mulcahy with 15 of our 64 points.

 

[greenknight]

PM should gave been doing that all night

 

[robjknight]

a bunch of bad lobs tonight Geo should have shot that one

 

[RUinOhio]

Ivey 18 foul shots is insane

 

[FIJI'83]

ENOUGH WITH THE ALLY OOPS.
FOREVER!!!!!!!

10-12 points lost tonight on misfired lobs

 

[rucoe89]

I agree the game was lost right there. Just couldn't get the mojo back and have been playing with double digit deficit since.

Big teaching moment for Omeruyi. That Technical Foul changed the vibe of the game.
