That was a terrible last play..not the first time
Brilliant half but RU should be up more
16-2 run but no fg in last 3 min
Purdue only has 2 fg in last 9:30 minutes..both by Edey who abused Reiber...alot if free throws but this really is stunning

Yes all our bigs suck besides Cliff who is really a D1 athlete just needs tons of work.
Look at that.
When your star players play like stars, good things happen.
RHJ need to be our "problem solver" not just another "not causing problems".

They would score on most bigs in the country. Who's going to defend a 7'4 guy?
So first half effort was significantly better, where has this been?
Well well, we have ourselves a game. RU up by one, 36-35 at halftime against the number one team in the country. Please, no sit-ins this time.
It is crushing our season. Cliff can't stay on the court and our backups shouldn't be on the court
Well, couple things stick out. But first good effort by the guys and great to see the RAC alive.
1. The offense post Lafayette continues to look a lot better overall
2. Boy we are going to have to watch our backup bugs struggle all year huh?
3. Ron is on fire tonight
4. Mag continue to show promise
5. The lineups have been horrible at times and cost us a lot this game.
The troubling part, we just shot 60% from 3 and are clinging to a 1pt lead. Gonna need to continue to shoot drastically over expectations in 2H as well to stay in this.

The thing is though that they haven’t. They score a lot but not every time. We don’t run any help at them either
Great 1st half effort. Ivey should have fouled out already. Really miss Myles in a game like this
Love the game plan guard the 3 they are only 2-11 from 3
The refs cost us at least 6 points that charge on Mulcahy was BS and a 5 point swing at the time plus his second foul

This is such a Jekyll and Hyde team! At least for the first half, they are playing like a Tourney team. Other games, like a team that can't compete. It clear it's going to be a very up and down season...
Our only hope is if Cliff can stay on the floor.
Is it possible PU will continue to shoot so poor from 3
Cliff back in will neutralize Edey but he cant pick up 3rd early
Ru desperately needs another player to start scoring

Mag and Harper, if we can get anything from Cliff or Jaden tonight will be a plus
Caleb is always open under the basket on the cut, they've missed a few passes for an easy bucket
Rutgers 12-23, 3pt 6-10
Purdue 13-33 39.4% , 3pt 2-11 18%
Defending them very well, like they've beaten this team 3 times in a row.

First three minutes of the second half are the most important of the game.
Our defense in the first half chose not to double the post and instead kept their shooters off the 3pt line.. that’s a big reason for their poor shooting effort thus far.
typical for the "experts" to attack RU even with this kind of effort ,so far, with a depleted bench--such wonderful fans ? that only like to *****
Pick your poison. I'd rather see Frankenstein need to hit free throws then see 3's coming raining down.
It is a great effort with a short handed team against the beat team in the country. Problem is why the f couldn’t we bring it against Lafayette and umass ? Not acceptable to only bring it at home against certain teams
