Rutgers vs Purdue / Game Thread

Peter kiss deathly afraid of a loose ball

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

This is eddie jordan level bad. I feel awful for these kids man. Teams are making jokes of them

 

[Scangg]

We are so easy to defend. No one can beat anyone off the dribble. As soon as it goes to the post, double team forcing the outside shot that no one can hit. Wash rinse repeat.

Exactly why I was calling for more minutes for Caleb Mathis and Harper. At least they can do something with the ball. Thiam and Kiss and basically only catch and shoot threats. Mulcahey and Young both have this skill set though so help is on the way

 

[Jim_from_RU]

compare them to other schools and they are not...these teams have 5 Mathis and one stud.....we do not

Chicken or egg argument. Gotta win to get the recruits, but need the recruits to win. How are we gonna break this nasty cycle we’re in?

 

[G- RUnit]

Not football but a bad loss nonetheless. Hurts.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Now Thiam is 6’11”?? At this rate, he may be 9 foot by next year.

 

[sct1111]

This looks like Varsity vs the Freshman team

There is only one way. $$$

No, it’s really got to get recruits to win.

 

[Scangg]

Realistically we had to expect a couple blow outs this year. On the road with no EO and banged up McConnell against a team like Purdue that can light up the score board on the road is one that makes sense

 

[shields]

Need Eugene also.

its 3 of last 4 this team was bullied, jellied and bitch slappped, not a good trend.

 

[RU Mike73]

Shockingly pitiful. So disappointed to perform this way.

 

[koleszar]

Welcome back to Jokeville. "You heard that right folks Purdue by 40", straight from the B1G sports desk.

 

[Mr Magoo]

I really thought we were past the 40 point blowout years.

 

[RUJMM78]

you need to bring better players than all of them in the next 2 years...can Pike do it. These are nice players and Mathis could be a legit star BUT its obvious we are way behind the rest of the league in talent. In fairness they are young but I just think they are not the explosive shooters we will need to actually make the tourney

What is so disturbing is that Rutgers still is unable to recruit shooters which puts the program at a serious disadvantage because the 3 point shot is a difference maker in basketball.

 

[MadRU]

Guess the new up tempo offense isn’t the answer with this team

 

[bac2therac]

4-21 in 2nd half

 

[bac2therac]

slow it down unless they want them to score 100

 

[Mr Magoo]

Kiss is stating to remind me of Justin Goode.

 

[Scangg]

Multiple players with career highs

Harper was supposed to be a great shooter, so was McConnell.

 

[bac2therac]

are people still waiting on Doucoure for next year..its another miss and waste spot right now...

 

[Scangg]

Kiss coming up clutch! Lol

 

[Jim_from_RU]

There is only one way. $$$

We have a spanking new facility being built. If that doesn’t help recruiting, nothing will.

 

[bac2therac]

18 turnovers

gotta laugh at the announcers..they just ran into a buzzsaw

Rutgers established 1991 been running into buzzsaws for 28 years

 

[RUChow]

Just bench Thiam permanently, play Doorson less and less, and forget tonight. We did beat OSU a week ago.

 

[RutgersMO]

Lets pull the upset!

I’m upset...

RU down by 40

We can’t hit free throws

We can’t hold onto the ball

Geo makes some horrible passes

This shouldn’t be playing whether EO is playing or not

Kiss needs to hustle and hit dots or he should sit

Mathis, McConnell , Harper ... Johnson , Geo , Carter and Mulchay ( next year)

Mo

 

[Mr Magoo]

Agree. A redshirt is silly here.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

And when we beat Northwestern on Friday, everyone will be flying high again.

 

[MadRU]

19 turnovers 9 assists

 

[RUJMM78]

89-54 final score.There is no place to hide in the B1G with a inept offense.

 

[waretown]

Build on Mathis Harper McConnell Carter Johnson Geo EO and add Young Mulcahey plus TBD and we should be much better next season. Mulcahey and Young both bring skills we lack. People who can create off the dribble in Mulcahey and a quick guard who can score in Young

same projections every year

 

[RUChow]

89-54 final score.There is no place to hide in the B1G with a inept offense.

True, but defense was a bigger problem tonight.

 

[Mr Magoo]

I actually expect us to win on Friday...even after this. NW has played some good games including a 2 point loss to Michigan but that is a very winnable game. They are not that good and I think we match up very well with them.

 

[RUTrack94]

Wow ... 35 point loss ... 2-1/2 times the spread ... amazing!

 

[RUsince52]

Sa hasn't made a FG in over a year.

Obviously needs more practice.

 

[higgins3]

Purdue is not that much better than Rutgers. Geo must work on stable drives. As fot Kiss and Thiam, I think Rutgers is far better off playing their freshman.

 

[higgins3]

Will be in the house for Friday. Let’s bring a ruckus.
