Purdue beating Michigan at Michigan 45-41

[Rutgers83]

12 mins to go....

Maybe Michigan isn't that good. They have one great win (Gonzaga) and the other win that looked great (UNC) is turning out to be nothing special.

Time will tell.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Imagine if Trevion Williams has S&C

 

[Rutgers83]

Or Big Ten is loaded... tied 2.5 mins to go.

 

[Rutgers83]

Tied under a minute...

Purdue up by 2 with 45 seconds remaining.

Tied with 17 seconds left.

I think they are tough for non conference teams to prepare for. Conference teams have them well scouted and Howard isnt the same wizard as Beilien is, there will be some adjustment period for him

Purdue doesnt have the depth, Michigan D is good.

Trevion Williams is in BEAST MODE. Unguardable.

And in other news, Teske is a soft defender for a 7-footer.

And Xavier Simpson is a tremendous PG.

This is quite an entertaining game.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Why isn’t eastern in guarding Simpson?

Trevion Williams is in BEAST MODE. Unguardable.

As Pike will say, “Trevion Williams is a PROBLEM.” Wow, super impressed with him. Great touch around the rim. Let’s hope can bottle him up. But very tough challenge.

 

[Rutgers83]

2ND OT..... wear them down.

Don't have Shaq dorson this year. Goid news he doesn't seem to like to post and back you down....more athletic so length and quickness will help. But he is definitely a man out there.

I’ve seen at least 5 different post moves from Williams, including backing his man down and then making one of a few spin moves or baby hooks. Dude’s gonna be a PROBLEM.

Only saw OT and last few of reg....not his first 25pts....sorry to hear that lol.
Need Douc. To start practicing now.

 

[Rutgers83]

Mi wins. Hoping for underdog Purdue. Oh well.

 

[RUJMM78]

84-78 Michigan in double OT.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

#2 on Purdue doesn’t dive in the floor for a loose ball and haphazard helps and leads to a 3 point play.

This is why we are winning.

 

[RUJMM78]

Michigan poor foul shooting gave Purdue chance to win game but a couple 3 pointers gave Michigan enough of a margin to win.

 

[Scangg]

Both these teams are beatable. We can beat anyone in the league. Having Young to match up with Simpson will be huge.

 

[YoucancallmeRay]

Trevion Williams is in BEAST MODE. Unguardable.

We'll double team him and force him to pass out. We've been doubling and recovering all year. It's one of the reasons our D has been so good.

 

[G- RUnit]

I guess its way too early but do we have a preference for some of theses games. PSU v Wiscy? Do we want Iowa and Purdue to lose to increase our chances? Michigan v Purdue game last night was a fun watch. We can play with these guys.

 

[RUtrumpet92_rivals498139]

I want is to finish top 7 at worst. I think the league deserves around 8 bids. I think Purdue is likely to finish below Michigan so I'm pleased with this result.

PSU/Wisconsin: I haven't looked at schedules to see who I think will be better but it is hard for me to root for PSU unleds it benefits RU. That said, I like how Stevens plays the game and carries himself on the court. He is a good clean hard-nosed player.

 

[bac2therac]

Some of these teams will pike up losses and moss the tourney. Most likely candiates are Purdue and Minnesota but maybe Iowa too

 

[ScarletDave]

At the beginning the parody was fun to get us to the position that we are in, but now it’s time to root for the middle bottom teams to lose to stay down there and give us some buffer (rather than root for the top dogs to keep losing - we can only stay up there for so long). Plus you want some strong teams in the league it will generally bode better for the tourney than EVERYONE being pretty even
