RU vs Wisconsin 2/25/19 7PM GAME THREAD

[MADHAT1]

Scarlet Nation jinx in full effect. My bad! Game now tied at 43 with 7 minutes to play. Purdue hasn't scored in a long time. The game is on BTN for anyone that cares.

scared the bejesus out of me , I overlooked Purdue in post and thought a bad thought :chairshot:

MD outscoring PU 10-0 in the 4th ...

Hopefully Carey can play a few minutes without fouling out. After 4 years it is really disappointing such a good player doesn't have court awareness. She is so talented but hurts herself w fouls so often.

like the free flowing offense for a change

like the free flowing offense for a change

Maybe because no CC?
Or just going with a different coaching philosophy due to need to adjust, and possibly shake things up?

 

[RU MAN]

Let's go ladies. Put the pedal to the metal.

 

[RUonBrain]

At halftime, 8 of our 10 scholarship players have scored.

And Stasha is not 1 of them.

Who could have predicted that?

Maybe this is good in that it forces more of a team contribution (sort of like how Pike relies on a deep rotation).

Nice to have so much depth (as noted by a poster above).

 

[ScarletteK80]

T-baby!!!!!!!!!! 48-28!!

 

[Abro1975]

5 min left in 3rd, RU up 48-28. Keep it up !

 

[RU MAN]

Up 20, 5 minutes into the 3rd quarter.

 

[RUonBrain]

This is a great matchup to begin the remainder of our season post-CC.

Hopefully coaches can try different combinations tonight to see what works and what doesn’t, and it allows everyone to be more comfortable with more minutes and an expanded role.

I love Tekia Mack. She is a ball of energy and a positive force that this team needs...good to see them happy again.

They have been subbing in and out so fast I think it is key.

 

[RUTrack94]

More, more, more!!!!!!

 

[RU MAN]

Tekia with the THREE! RU up 23.

 

[RUTrack94]

More, more, more!!!!!!

Up a quarter with more than a quarter left!
More, more, more!!!!!

 

[MADHAT1]

Looks like team is stepping up and not letting CC's trouble hurt the overall game team plays.

Offense reminds me of how it was earlier in season for some of the games this team played

 

[ScarletteK80]

MACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for 3!!!!! Stasha steal and layup!!!!!!!!!!! 53-28

 

[Abro1975]

RU pouring it on, up 53-28 w 3min left in 3rd

 

[RU MAN]

Maryland hangs on to win 58-55. Damn.

sometimes I think CVS is not flexible, she will try and fit a square peg into a round hole game after game after game

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Purdue's last-second heave was close - off the board and off the rim.

 

[RUTrack94]

55-33 ... I like the sound of that!!!!!!

Purdue isn’t Iowa, that’s for sure...

 

[Abro1975]

And the end of 3, RU leads 57-33, w Jordan hitting at the buzzer, she's the 10th RU player to score !

 

[ScarletteK80]

Jordin with the layup to end the 3rd.

 

[RUTrack94]

WISCONSIN is bad and getting beat like they should by RU ...

 

[RUTrack94]

55-33 ... I like the sound of that!!!!!!

But 57-33 is better!

 

[RUonBrain]

Maryland hangs on to win 58-55. Damn.

We’re not catching MD

Aren’t we better off ensuring no one behind us in the standings catches us?

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Purdue's not catching us. They had eight losses, we're about to get to 11-5 with two games to play.

Michigan and Ohio State 4th and 5th with seven losses each. Two more wins (one after tonight) and we're guaranteed a top four finish.

 

[ScarletteK80]

MACK!!!!!!!

 

[ScarletteK80]

Arella looks sick/tired?

 

[Abro1975]

4;45 left in game RU up 66-46 Game has gotten very sloppy for both teams.

 

[RU MAN]

We’re not catching MD

Brain, absolutely. We need to secure 3rd place and get that double bye.

 

[RU MAN]

RU up 25 with 2:21 left to play!

 

[bac2therac]

this is how you beat up on a weak sister

 

[MADHAT1]

All is good , as far as this game is concerned and brings hope for the rest of season.

 

[Abro1975]

Final RU 73 Wisc 53

Leaders:

Rebounds- Harris 7
Points = Mack 17
Assist= Calhoun 3
Steals- Mack 4

Mack has become a breakout star the past few games.

 

[bac2therac]

its likely the win that clinches it although Minny at home for good measure to avoid losing the 3 spot to OSU

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Great to see the girls go out there and not only get a “W” but, in the wage of a shitstorm of adversity, do what a lot Of our programs have so much trouble doing an absolutely step on the throats of a much weaker opponent from start to finish!!! Well done!
