Basketball Preview/Game Thread -- 9-Rutgers vs. 1-Purdue

[wheezer]

Team playing well
Win or lose no shame in the effort and we are giving our best

 

[gigantor1024]

Need a Palmquist triple or 2 somewhere down the stretch

 

[zappaa]

We rely on close outs, they guard us.
Why is that?

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Look we have to just keep going with our game plan. If they don’t miss from 3 we’re not going to win regardless. Gotta continue to contain Edy and hope they cool off.

 

[RU848789]

Good TO, IMO. This is danger time if we go on a scoring drought and they hit some shots...

 

[Plum Street]

They are just on fire

 

[mildone]

Question
Why aren’t we in their faces like they are ours

We are.

 

[leftoright]

need bomb blockers

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Now....we only have ONE FOUL this half (see what happens when you don't COMMIT stupid fouls???) ...I'd say it's time to CRANK THINGS UP on D! IT'S TURBO TIME!!!!

 

[RUby RED]

We rely on close outs, they guard us.
Why is that?

I mean are you really gonna argue with our defense today? It’s been a great effort so far. Tough shotmaking on their part the last few mins

 

[RU Mike73]

They are not well covered. Very late flyby.

 

[FrankZ]

0 3 is fine

 

[bac2therac]

Wow what a sequence

 

[koko2315]

SIMPSON!!

 

[biazza38]

The bounces both teams have gotten are unreal

 

[zappaa]

We are.

We close out on every reversal

 

[RUChoppin]

We rely on close outs, they guard us.
Why is that?

Because we are hedging on Edey, and they aren't as much on Omoruyi

 

[mildone]

Yes!

 

[fatsam98]

Can't fault our effort. If we come up short we come up short. If some dude no one ever heard of goes Sandfort on us so be it

Side note: other games going our way

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I wish we had a 9th man we could pull out of our ass to hit contested triples lol

Dude is at his 4th school!!!!

 

[carmenst]

Some one open the doors to the United Center to cool off their 3 point shooting.

 

[Rokodesh]

4 of cliff? You kidding me?

 

[mildone]

What a game.

 

[bac2therac]

Quick 2 on Cliff

Come on Cliff

 

[RUChoppin]

Absurd two ticky tack fouls in a row.

 

[koleszar]

Holy fvck with all the banging and they call these touch fouls back to back. Come on. You see how they were banging Cliff? I'm fine if you don't call it one way but don't call it on the other side as well.

 

[RUinPinehurst]

Ouch.

 

[RUinOhio]

no 3 seconds

 

[koko2315]

damn

 

[Rokodesh]

These ****ing c*nts are going to hand them the win now

 

[biazza38]

Two soft ones in 3 seconds
The refs need to have some awareness.
That’s crap

 

[FrankZ]

And here come the refs. Got too close too late

 

[RUfromNJ]

4 fouls in 13 seconds

 

[RU Mike73]

WTF with more stupid meaningless fouls

 

[bac2therac]

Stupid foul by caleb

Stop fouling

 

[zappaa]

I mean are you really gonna argue with our defense today? It’s been a great effort so far. Tough shotmaking on their part the last few mins

I’m asking a question.
I see a lot of sprinting towards the shooter

 

[ClassOf02]

Whoa….bad news. What the hell are we doing out there?

 

[RUby RED]

4 fouls on one possession **** that

 

[GRU23]

The first foul was absolute bs

 

[BillyC80]

Whistles gone wild
