Basketball Rutgers Hoops loses to No. 2 Purdue, 68-60

[fluoxetine]

a couple of unplanned losses? Each team we lost to is good, no wtf losses. Stonehill almost but thanks to Simpson that didn't happen

I meant of players (i.e. Spencer / Mulcahy)

Yea not sold on their guards and they won’t get the super friendly big whistle.

I wish Rutgers had Smith at point guard because he can make 3 pointers as well as pass the ball to Edey .

He’s good but not elite.

There was no Vern. He meant Tim Brando.

lol ! What a numbskull !!
Vern hasn’t called a colllege basketball game in a decade !! And he didn’t work for Fox

 

[RUGiddy777]

That's all folks. We played hard, missed too many open shots, and refs let Edey get away with everything again.

I don’t think I’ve bitched about officiating much, but it was pretty atrocious today.

Edey gets away with a ton of 3 seconds, steps, elbow push-offs, and even some over-the-backs perhaps because he's so big the refs just assume he rebounded cleanly.

Purdue won’t get far in tourney.

They never do

It was absurd today. Definitely put their fingers on the scale of the game.

Who is vern ?

Lunquists(sp) long list son Tim Brando.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Thank god this is edeys last year

Painter will find another . That's what the top coaches do. Edy's not his first.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Like I do not deny that you could probably bring a lot of coaches in here that would take this roster and make it marginally better on offense and much worse on defense. But no one is making this roster good on offense.

That's your opinion and average would be a HUGE improvement.

 

[fluoxetine]

That's your opinion and average would be a HUGE improvement.

It is my opinion, and it’s correct.

I know nobody wants to talk about moral victories, but I'll take today's game, especially the way we shot the first half. Let's face it, this team is offensively challenged, but I love the way they fought back in the second half. I loved seeing Gavin out there making shots. I believe Pike needs to give him more minutes like this. It will only help his confidence and prepare him for next season. I also thought Jamichael and Noah had some really nice contributions, and Cliff did all he could to contain what I believe is the national player of the year. Also, Pike's defensive schemes gave Purdue fits. So in a year that will be down, I saw a glimmer of hope for next season.

I actually agree to a certain extent. Cliffs play last couple of games has been much better and maybe today gives then some confidence. If they can carry this effort into a more favorable schedule and grab some wins if could be a better finish for once.

Huh ? Thats not nice.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Huh ? Thats not nice.

Dennis has anger issues

 

[RUTrack94]

"and the man that looks like harry potter" LMFAO cant believe they said that about GG

I always thought Where’s Waldo … anyway, so glad I stopped watching … maybe baseball, lacrosse or crew get it done … don’t have any faith in any winter team doing anything special.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Huh ? Thats not nice.

no. I apologize but calling me a numbskull wasn't either.

I realize Painter always seems to have a giant on his roster, but come on man. Edey is clearly the best big he’s had. There hasn’t been a back to back national player of the year like this since Ralph Sampson did it 40 yrs ago. 7’ 4” centers don’t come around very often. Statistically he’s one of the most dominant college centers since Shaq.
