[bac2therac]

we are now 100 minutes away from punching our dance ticket

 

[DHajekRC84]

Someone needs to make Drago bleed.

Our band should play the rocky song...

 

[bac2therac]

Let's not forget. The pressure is squarely on Purdue.

and Painter aint the brighest bulb in the Big 10 either

Lots of love from the announcers in that last session, especially Katz raving about RU going from "atrocious" under Jordan to what we're seeing during this tourney. Fans sound great - wish I had gone - something came up...

92-31

He's a good third guard on a B1G squad o_O

It kills me that he’s inconsistent and doesn’t bring it every night...

OMGEO

If we win...I'm driving to New Jersey tomorrow...Carpool ? lol

Holy crap, if we win, we're playing PSU. 1989 anyone? I will be there if that happens.

 

[Caliknight]

How come there aren't fans sitting behind our bench? Seems like lots of open seats there.

we are now 100 minutes away from punching our dance ticket

And 20 away from national TV game on CBS

 

[RocktheRac]

20 gets you 40

 

[RU Mike73]

NO. hate those commercials. I'm not paying $10 for one pair :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Do love the Duluth tag line though. “Keep your boys in their place”

 

[RU848789]

One big concern in the 2nd half is running out of gas - that was an up-tempo half and we have to be a bit tired against a well-rested Purdue team.

 

[Caliknight]

and Painter aint the brighest bulb in the Big 10 either

I does seem like a meathead.

 

[RU Mike73]

Want TTFP so bad.

 

[BillyC80]

This totally feels like March Madness! How I miss that feeling...

 

[rufeelinit]

Painter was actually highly complementary of our play in the first half. Said we made a lot of tough shots.

 

[DHajekRC84]

NO. hate those commercials. I'm not paying $10 for one pair :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I got my "pair" for free from God...

Pure adrenaline next 20

[shields]

Get Drago in foul trouble.

 

[rufeelinit]

Need to continue playing under control offensively and with great energy on D.

 

[BillyC80]

Took me a few times to realize Duluth Ballroom jeans means there's more room for your balls.

 

[bac2therac]

How come there aren't fans sitting behind our bench? Seems like lots of open seats there.

probably because the Ohio State fans had many of those seats

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

I don't care if we get blown out in the second half. This team and staff have earned serious respect. This is 3 games in 3 nights they are playing hard, together, and showing incredible heart. Whatever happens they've shown themselves.

That said, let's get it!

If we slip in the 2nd half it will be fatigue. The nation and recruits have taken notice of what's happenin here.

 

[rufeelinit]

Btw what is up with pike’s purple jacket?

 

[Night Man]

Mathias is a great shooter.

 

[Night Man]

Btw what is up with pike’s purple jacket?

Dark blue I think

 

[BillyC80]

Gene draws another charge!

 

[RU848789]

TO?

 

[PatrickRU92]

everyone shoots 3s dammit

 

[Night Man]

This feels wrong. Good timeout I say.

 

[Caliknight]

Dude Mathias has a sweet stroke.

 

[koleszar]

Well they certainly can make 3 pt. shots. UGH:angry:

 

[rufeelinit]

Get Freeman and Baker in there.

 

[TheRacRU]

I'm worried about tired legs in the second half against defensive pressure.

 

[RU Mike73]

Friggin 3’s

 

[bac2therac]

ugh 6-0 to start the half for Purdue..not worried

 

[BillyC80]

You could tell by his body language that Carson Edwards was gonna shoot that 3. We gave him too much room to do it.

 

[soundcrib]

Good timeout. Good coaching

 

[cRURah]

20 minutes to Pike’s first signature win in conference. We need it so bad.
