My favorite part about today's game will be the big roped off section in the student section welcoming in all of Coach Schiano's recruits. And then the meltdown by a few of the posters saying this will cost us the game. Students shut out of tickets, recruits not cheering etc.

TheKnightReport - By The Numbers: Purdue Boilermakers Basketball

Before Rutgers Basketball takes on Purdue on Sunday, let's take a look at the Boilermakers by the numbers.

We don’t have much chance in this game. But any chance we DO have will hinge in part on a magical RACmosphere.

Drink your tea and honey this morning, folks. Need to warm up those vocal cords.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Rutgers is terrible. Why would anyone waste their time watching the game. I should save gas and not go because Purdue is going to name the score. We should just play the young guys because the season is over.

Let's see if this works

 

[RUJMM78]

Both teams have less talent as compared to the classic 2022 game with Harper's winning shot from just past mid court.Purdue still has Edey but the supporting cast isn't as strong.Rutgers has no go to scorers which makes winning this game far more difficult.The RAC will be rocking and the Rutgers team must play their best game of the season.

Way too many purdoodies up here. We’re gonna have to shut down their mohel up chants. Best way is to snip it.

 

[bac2therac]

No buzz in the building pre tip off

Disappointing

I realize we arent good but still its the biggest game of the year

 

[NickRU714]

The lead in and follow for this national game isn't exactly great and doubtful to help ratings.
Infomercials on either side.
Going directly against the CBS pregame coverage.

Fox football pregame coverage doesn't start until 6pm.

I think the West Virginia game in 1983 was national on CBS. Billy Packer and Gary Bender were here and they were always the national game in those days

Get loud. Let’s do this!

 

[dconifer]

Good luck to the Scarlet Knights...

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Carstensen is in the building 💩

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

FDU beat that freak Edey

 

[dconifer]

FDU beat that freak Edey

LOL. Good way to look at it, actually...

 

[RU Mike73]

Pike in a suit and tie. 😳

 

[koleszar]

Mag from 3 is not something you want to hear over and over.

 

[RU Mike73]

Cmon boys get hot.

Brick city. No shootin mofo’s

 

[biazza38]

3-0 in the fouls right out the gate lol

 

[bac2therac]

Settling for bad shots

 

[zappaa]

Just can’t shoot

 

[biazza38]

Offensive foul on Edey

 

[FrankZ]

Just can’t shoot

Spared me from typing it

 

[bac2therac]

Its 3-0 fouls because we are taking ridiculous shots without trying to work for it

 

[RUby RED]

Our shooting is woeful

 

[zappaa]

If we could shoot a little bit we’d be dangerous

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Just can’t shoot

It’s a bad team that can’t shoot

 

[koleszar]

Shooting a blistering 22%.

 

[BillyC80]

A week off not good for sharpness on offense. Our shots are way off.

 

[gigantor1024]

#4 getting away with multiple fouls while boxing out on their end. Refs letting him do whatever he wants. I guess when you have size over the opponent they just don’t care

 

[richthedentist]

How about calling a 3 second violation on Edey he was in the lane for almost 7 seconds before

 

[Corycord1]

We are the only team in the country that values contested mid range jumpers… I just don’t get the plan on offense

 

[RutgersChow]

Shooting a blistering 22%

Noah can't be taking that three pointer that quick with no one underneath.

 

[BillyC80]

How about calling a 3 second violation on Edey he was in the lane for almost 7 seconds before

They had two guys in the lane for more than 5 seconds each.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

under 17% fg so far

 

[koleszar]

That sequence right there is fvcking ridiculous. Three shots within 2ft. and nothing. How did these kids get scholarships?

 

[robjknight]

We should be winning
