Basketball GAME THREAD: Purdue vs. Rutgers

[RC80]

Ridiculous Failure to recruit a legit backup 5 - and this staff had weeks if not months to secure one. That is the most frustrating part of watching this; Palmquist better hit every 3 he gets - cause too slow on D for this league. Appreciate the non-stop effort by Mag (with some scoring) and Miller.

 

[The RUT]

typical for the "experts" to attack RU even with this kind of effort ,so far, with a depleted bench--such wonderful fans ? that only like to bitch

Hummel killed us vs Illinois and has been praising us in the 1st half?

 

[BillyC80]

Love knowing the halftime score is being broadcast around the country.

 

[NickRU714]

"This is the number 1 team in the nation. We can beat their ass tonight."

 

[BillyC80]

Great start!

 

[Shell21]

Told ya they’d start doubling Ron

 

[greenknight]

Here's how I'd defend Edey. You have nobody that can physically match up with him. So if he is posting up and they get the ball down to him. The guard needs to drop down and not let him put the ball on the floor by having guard looking to poach him. Make him kick it out

 

[FrankZ]

Elbow

 

[Shell21]

That was a walk!!

 

[Caliknight]

We can throw elbows now?

 

[greenknight]

Mag you cant foul 50ft from hoop

 

[FrankZ]

Make layups please

 

[tfio]

Yessir Cliff!

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

c'mon Paul make a freakin layup

 

[FrankZ]

Cliff only hope to win. Has to be on floor

 

[Rufaninga]

Dbl big man when he tries to dribble and back his man down

 

[zebnatto]

How important would a Tenys or Carter be about now?

 

[jkernpop]

Feed cliff!

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

3 seconds?

 

[greenknight]

C'mon mulcahy missed layup and air ball

 

[FrankZ]

C'mon mulcahy missed layup and air ball

[Ridge 22]

PM is terrible. He has not developed at all

That's the problem. They can shoot. Usually.

 

[bac2therac]

Damn Cliff breaking out

 

[jkernpop]

Oskar hits it there lol

 

[Rokodesh]

Have to convert on their mistakes

 

[greenknight]

Palm finally makes a shot

 

[Danprusa_4]

Now oskar makes it hahahahhaa

 

[jordkap]

That was a really nice play design to get Oskar the look wide open, horrible execution on his part though

 

[FrankZ]

Oskar hits it there lol

Never in doubt after hearing the whistle

 

[mikeyo]

Damn Cliff breaking out

We need him to be a star

 

[ScarletDave]

Big Ten refs trying their hardest

 

[BillyC80]

Ok, despite the mistakes we played them even for the critical first 4 minutes.

 

[MrWise]

Intensity is still there. Keep doubling on the big man and hope their outside shooting stays cold

 

[RUsojo]

I think we have to hope Purdue keeps forcing it inside

Have to knock it out of his hands as he's backing up, and before he can get off a clean pass. It's been working better this half

 

[Corycord1]

Didn’t see it, but you almost never see that called. Very ticky tacky

No let him have 2 vs the 3

 

[Scarlet Blind]

15 FGs 15 assists

Not looking forward to the “anyone but Cliff” vs Williams and Edey matchup we’re about to get these next 4 minutes …
Impending Purdue run
