Purdue vs Rutgers / Game Thread ~ Third Round BigTen Tournament

Purdue is a great team. We played our A game but we needed a little help and didn’t get it. Purdue played their A game. Looking forward to next season.

You guys bitching about the refs are worse than peeps complaining about slow RU starts. We lost because of the 3. Stop it
 
We live and die with Rutgers basketball. You guys are all amazing.

I remember when we were a basketball school...
 
Damn, really started believing.

Thanks team you made this tourney so enjoyable.

Great job, Pikes will get this done.
 
Purdue is set up to win the national championship, a legit contender.....RU played like a ncaa team tonight

They've absolutely had some WTF games and moments this year but every day this week RU looked like one of those 11-12 seeds who are in a one possession game on Thursday of the NCAA tournament with 45 seconds left.
 
Awesome game and effort by both teams. Hope Corey comes back. Looking forward to recruiting and next season.

Refs down the stretch.. sheesh.

They should have let the players decide. Instead they rewarded playacting on Purdue's side (who clearly made all the shots), were blind when they needed to be and shamelessy made those calls seeing everything's Purdue's way.

Congrats to the team and coaches.. you played hard and with heart and you cannot ask more than that.

Great performance last three days. And the refs had nothing to do with us losing. If anything tired legs kept us from getting out on the three. Tremendous progress. Two years ago today we lose this game by 50. GEO IS BACK.

down the stretch it was just Corey and some Baker...you had to ride them and couldnt go to anyone else...Purdue..as bad as Drago was for much of the game...because Purdue was so deadly from outside, they were able to put him back in and it became tougher to defend them at that point. Purdue earned this thats for sure, they had to make shots and then close it on defense
 
What does that mean?


Minnesota game I called out during game thread that RU would lose by 7 though up by 5.. I was grilled by some. I threw in that RU would lose by 7 in pregame picks before last nights game. Tonight someone asked where my prediction was. Of course I went on and said RU loses by 7.

cannot fault him at all but i mean thats game right there..make two and you are down 1 with what 30 seconds and then who knows what happens. RU had to play a perfect game
Agree. Hats off to the young man. If not for him were not in that position. He was spectacular.
 
If mike wasn't fouled neither was Edwards.
Few bad plays down the ends..Thiam and Corey definitely offensive..arm and shoulder.
Would have liked to see Baker as option there and not force.

But......BUT....that was amazing effort. I am pretty sure Corey gone be but if this plus guys coming in....now we have real hope for once.

Goodnight and thank you guys and coach for a very proud 3 days.

Got it
 
Standing ovation-worthy effort by our guys this week in the world's most famous arena. Confidence of what we can achieve going forward should be HIGH.
