51-32 Purdue 14 minutes remaining

I cannot stand watching guys like Haas. Just bull rushes guys and the defenders get called for fouls by trying to just hold their ground. Plus, the guy sucks. He should be dominant.

Doucoure fouling out already is inexcusable on many levels

He plays dirty.

 

[RU MAN]

I’m not missing your point and I don’T disagree with you on the future. I took issue with your cheap shot at Sanders.

What are you talking about???? I NEVER said anything negative about Sanders. Freeman? Yes, and he deserves it.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Purdue in the double bonus with 13:00 minutes left and Corey fouls a guy 85 feet from the basket.

 

[bac2therac]

Pritzl is pretty good but I think if we double Happ a lot we win that game. It’s gonna be a “rock fight” and we can out-ugly anyone.

Prizl did not play because he hit his head with another player in practice..status is unknown..their freshmen guard was excellent their last game//we were successful in containing last year but I think we will probably end up fouling him to death

 

[bac2therac]

He plays dirty.

Id love to have Hass on our team...have to laugh at the criticism he is getting here

 

[RU MAN]

And Pikiell let him have it.

 

[higgins3]

TD irish, our bet is still on about Isaac Haas.

 

[koleszar]

Thiam playing kickball out there. Come On.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

And Pikiell let him have it.

He let him have it for the technical.

 

[RU Mike73]

Back to 20

People are just saying that for someone 7 3 and really big, he is not as good as you would think. The criticism isn't that bad.

 

[bac2therac]

And Pikiell let him have it.

Pike should have taken him out immediately after the 4th

 

[RU Mike73]

Back to 15

 

[RU MAN]

And of the 3rd period and our women are up on Illinois by 30!

 

[Upstream]

Guy have to keep their composure. Sloppy and frustrated isn't going to help.

 

[soundcrib]

Clear the bench and press!

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Pike should have taken him out immediately after the 4th

Why? What difference would it make? He was going to foul out eventually.

 

[RU MAN]

He let him have it for the technical.

And for fouling out.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

And we’re only down by 15. Haven’t quit. Playing hard.

 

[RUJMM78]

57-42 Purdue.Rutgers still fighting which is a positive sign.

 

[RU MAN]

Pike should have taken him out immediately after the 4th

Agreed.

 

[RU MAN]

If we could only shoot we could easily make a game of this because the kids are fighting and working hard.

 

[KevH]

Well in fairness to the team this is like football going against OSU or Wisconsin. Everyone knows we have no shot. But yes it is quite unbelievable how bad scholarship players can be at putting a ball through the hoop. It's quite comical at this point.

This too shall pass. This roster still needs to be turned over. Will take time.

 

[RU Mike73]

Guys overmatched but playing hard. Gotta love Pike.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

I have no idea why you even said this...good player but dirty...elbows galore.

And who would not want a 7 2 Center who scores, rebounds and blocks shots.

 

[bac2therac]

dirty because he is on the other team, thats part of the game, toughen up..hes a key cog that totally opens everything else up for the Purdue offense

 

[RU Mike73]

Haas whining to ref again

 

[RUChow]

Two of the reasons we don't shoot well are (1) we don't take good shots, and (2) we work so hard on both ends of the court that it affects your shooting. And I don't care if he shoots 5% from three Williams needs to start on this team ahead of Thiam.

And (3) Our guys just can't shoot.

 

[RUChow]

I don't think MSU is any better than this team. Stay the course. Help is on the way.

 

[koleszar]

Well that was a phantom foul

 

[RUChow]

And (3) Our guys just can't shoot.

We rarely get a square up open shot. Nearly everything is a force.

 

[ScarletKid2008]

THESE REFS ARE REDICULOUS with these foul calls !!! Come on man

 

[RU MAN]

Yes they are. MSU is much more talented and can offset Haas and Harris with their quickness.

 

[Mr Magoo]

We rarely get a square up open shot.

Foul shots are square up open shots and we suck at those too.

 

[KevH]

We lost those two games by two points each. Agree we should have absolutely won them. Purdue is a different animal and we had very little chance of competing against them coming into this game. They are simply not in the same stratosphere. Not the same as Stony Brook and Hartford. Don't know why anybody is shocked that Purdue at home is crushing us. It's important to remember that this program still has MILES to go and keep your expectations in check

This should be pinned to the top of the board. Guys, you now have a representative sample of what this team will bring most nights... hard work, hustle, but glaring deficiencies too. Rome wasn't built in a day.

In Pike I trust.
