Here's hoping, do us proud! 3/8/19

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Have to say all these missed put-backs are almost comical. Except that RU needs the points!

When you spend so much energy on D you know O will suffer some.. just hope its not too much.

 

[bac2therac]

GUIRANTES big there

 

[ea_1]

Omg..on a 8 min break in q3 and just got a " coming up next" RU vs. Purdue commercial on BTN.

Is it not 33 31 with 7 23 to go Q3?

Well, now it is 36-31 with a little under six to play in the 3Q, RU leads.

 

[bac2therac]

Purdue is getting alot of rebounds

Playing very hard

Key is keeping composure and breaking their will

And there is another steal and anothe transition and one..thats how you do it

 

[RUJMM78]

Pressure defense causing turnovers and baskets.Rutgers spurt might be the knock out punch.

 

[RUTrack94]

So much for tired legs ... Purdue coming out strong ... RU still winning and I think fatigue sets in during the 4th quarter!

Rigamortis setting in for Purdue ...

 

[DHajekRC84]

Well, now it is 36-31 with a little under six to play in the 3Q, RU leads.

Thanks! I was thinking my fios got hacked by the Chinese Govt or some High School frosh in Toledo.

 

[ea_1]

Media time-out with 5:04 left to go in the 3Q and RU gets lead to nine: 40-31.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Now Rutgers wants it more.. right? Its like weather vs climate. Unless you see "quit" you cannot assume one team wants it more.

 

[bac2therac]

Get up 15 and they will not legs to play defense

Land the haymaker on the boilermakers

Purdue was taking it to RU. Outrebounding them and aggressive on offense while RUthrew lazy passes and took terrible shots with no focus

Yeah that too.

 

[bac2therac]

Make foul shots

 

[bac2therac]

Purdue is aggressive...big adjustment

Rutgers lucky they blew that layup

 

[DHajekRC84]

Make foul shots

And less 3 attempts

 

[DHajekRC84]

Saving the press for q4?

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers struggling against the Purdue defense

They just are not playing well

 

[ea_1]

Aggressive play by Purdue--they close the gap to four: 41-37 RU with 2:27 in 3Q. Purdue headed to the line again. Purdue is playing aggressively, and RU is getting called for fouls.

 

[bac2therac]

Im not sure i like the constant lineup changes

Best players need to be out there period

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

replay just showed Purdues harris got open inside because of moving pick.. heck.. it was a block and a hold

 

[DHajekRC84]

Gave up a foul shoot for another 3? Come on..go to the hoop...

 

[bac2therac]

How many missed free throws...7-8

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers 3 point shooting and foul shooting less than stellar.

 

[ea_1]

Saving the press for q4?

RU got to four fouls quickly. Knights had to back off, but Purdue is in the bonus with two minutes left in the period.

 

[bac2therac]

Wow purdue sucks and Rutgers just cannot get a bucket

 

[bac2therac]

More missed foul shots

What the f

Guirantes 1-4

 

[DHajekRC84]

Im not sure i like the constant lineup changes

Halfway thru the 3rd I'd agree. Unless they are going 55.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Harder to hit FTs when tired from pressing also...

 

[ea_1]

RU finally adds a point at the FT line after going one for seven in FGA. RU leads 42-37 with about a minute to go in 3Q.

 

[bac2therac]

What a terrible quarter by Rutgers

Yes Purdue wants it more

 

[DHajekRC84]

RU got to four fouls quickly. Knights had to back off, but Purdue is in the bonus with two minutes left in the period.

Yeah no..you're right. I meant hope to see it then.

 

[bac2therac]

WOW.. was that the same as the Iowa mens shot

 

[DHajekRC84]

Please stop with these bomb attempts....coach??? After that one.

 

[bac2therac]

Wake up ladies

Purdue is not going away

Very unfocused effort

Coach needs to play best 5 not rotating 5 at once

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers banked 3 pointer ends third quarter.Rutgers leads 45-41.

 

[rondi]

WOW.. was that the same as the Iowa mens shot

Noga!! I think so! Hope we see an RU 4th Qtr rally!

Go RU!
Diane

 

[DHajekRC84]

WOW.. was that the same as the Iowa mens shot

No it wasn't!! It was from the right lol.

 

[ea_1]

Thank you very much. Noga Peleg Pelc connects from three to end the third quarter, and RU manages to hang on to a 4-pt lead: 45-41. Terrible shooting by RU, including FTs, during that quarter. Time to get on track in the fourth. Let´s go, Scarlet Knights!

 

[RU1-Newtown_ Pa]

Noga from Eilat!!

That was some shot.

Seriously, can’t keep the Boilers in the game.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

In another thread I suggested Rutgers play straight-up and don't press for a half... or even 3 quarters. That way.. when you get to the 4th you can throw out the 55 with relatively fresh bodies. Now Purdue is used to it.. they have made adjustments... including pressing a pressing team.. which has resulted in crap shots for us... and also upping their transition game so we don't have time to organize a trap at half court.

I hope our ladies have enough left to press here effectively.
