Purdue game thread

Some of you guys (you know who you are) who come on the BB infrequently stating, "Same Ol' Rutgers" don't have a _ucking clue as to what you're talking about. This team going forward plays hard and works hard. They just got beaten by a top 13 team in the nation at their house. We have some top kids coming in next year who can SHOOT. Learn a little bit about our BB before spouting off your ignorance.
 
Dude just stop. Jordan would’ve lost by 60. Goddam, you’re so wishy washy.


Jordan lost by 50 his 3rd year but in his 2nd year RU lost to Purdue only 61-51 and 92-85 and that was a NCAA team that year

the point is you dont have to get totally housed against a great opponent, you can get yourself looking respectable at time..Purdue is a very very good team but its not like they are vintage Duke, we made them look like a national title contender tonight
 
Well, if there were two games where we were going to get smoked it’s this one and at MSU. Buckle up, buttercup. That one’s around the corner.

We definitely need Eugene to step back up. He lost his mojo somehow.

First, he was “baby Draymond,” getting put back dunks and clutch end game passes against SHU, now he’s non-existent.

I’d also like to see Doucoure and Thiam take more shots. These dudes are tall and shoot respectable mid-range shots when given some space.

I don't think he has an offensive rebound in 3 games....or maybe 1 or 1. Needs to get back to the basics....looks like his Defense has also fell off a bit.

I agree that this loss isn’t as bad as the scores indicate. However, after the last 2 games, they need to do better.

They are better this year than they were in 2011-2012. Purdue is a top 8 team. Many knew this game would be brutal.

Doucoure was 3-4 and hit two early shots, problem is he fouls ALOT on defense, I dont think he made it to the 10 minute mark of the 2nd half before fouling out
 
I just hope that players and fans do their best on Friday to forget the last three games and get the atmosphere as close to the SHU game as possible. A win on Friday and a lot of his will be forgotten.
 
I dont know about attendance, could go either way...its going to be one day after a snowstorm with temps in the single digits at tip off with a brutal wind chill. Are students showing up on a Friday night during break, maybe half of the section
 
Except EJ had injuries to deal with. This is a full squad of s scholly players.
There were a bizarre number of injuries at the end of Eddie’s tenure. Since the new staff got here we have had a tremendous run of good luck in avoiding the injury bug.
 
Serious question- has Deshawn ever hit a 3? I really can't recall.

If he was in a pick up game, half the team would be yelling at him every time he winds up to not shoot. Why does Pike allow this, ever?
He is at 25 percent for his career – – compare to Williams and Sanders each at 29 percent for their careers — He was six of 16 last year and the coach was encouraging him to shoot more from outside the arc.
 
I don't see ANY progress from last year. Might even be worse this year when you look at the stats.

Guarantee this year will end up better than last. They've hit a rough patch, no doubt. But growth is never linear. The main problem we have little talent - obviously. But after that, we have zero low post offense. None. Nada. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Then toss in poor shooting and you have a recipe for disaster. Pike is doing what he can by stressing rebounding and defense but that only goes so far. His first real recruiting class are frosh. What do you expect?
 
Does Sanders really still think he's NBA material? I didn't like the fact he had to be reprimanded more than once this season. He's not Odell Beckham,lol.
