Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Purdue

[RW90]

Remember when we couldn't buy a three point shooter? Times they are a changin

 

[Scarlet Knut]

Here we go. Foul #1 on Myles.

I'd keep him out the rest of the half if possible.

 

[knight82]

I think Pike should take Myles out every time he gets called for a foul. Just for a minute for him to calm down

 

[itsRtime]

RHJ injury may end up being a blessing in disguise if it's just this game. Chance for younger guys to gain some confidence.

 

[RUsojo]

We’re shooting the 3 well because we are pulling up with good looks early in the shot clock - we passed those up nearly every time last season. Love the philosophical change.

 

[mildone_rivals]

good foul

 

[carmenst]

With Duke in, I’d like to see if we can do some more dribble drives to the hoop.

 

[rufeelinit]

Young at times looks like he is laboring a bit.

 

[RU848789]

Reiber with the nice turnaround!

 

[RUsojo]

Smooth from reiber

 

[biazza38]

Reiner with the screw it bucket

 

[RUPartisan]

Purdue must have a monopoly on insanely tall goofy looking centers. Year in year out.

 

[BillyC80]

Dean!

 

[RUsojo]

Nice pass from Geo

 

[RW90]

Reiber!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BillyC80]

Dean, Douc, and Oskar have all scored.

 

[PatrickRU92]

I might cry. how do you not love this team

 

[bac2therac]

really look good when the shots fall.

all the lesser plays are stepping up..all of made shots and plays..awesome to see

 

[ScarletteK80]

Can we keep this pace up?

 

[RUsojo]

Purdue can’t guard us

 

[BillyC80]

Young has a great stroke.

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

Really like the way the freshman have looked tonight. Duke as well

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Damn, we're disciplined. I cannot believe how poised and smart Jacob has become.

 

[rufancoe00]

Bench guys coming up big so far. Duke, Oscar, Dean all contributions g 1st half

 

[RUby RED]

Wow. Offense has come out blazing even with some unique lineups

 

[phlop87]

Should look inside to duc more. Let him pass it out Make Purdue worry about it. We are t even looking inside. ... of course being so hot fro outside is great

 

[rufeelinit]

Getting a lot of contributions to build confidence. Don't want Paul shooting too many 3's

 

[mildone_rivals]

The bench is playing pretty well. Which is huge ‘cause it builds confidence.

 

[RU848789]

Duke playing pretty well, as are the frosh and we needed them to do so...

 

[mildone_rivals]

Young!

 

[RW90]

I've never seen an RU team with more shooters than this squad. This is RU right?

 

[bac2therac]

31-12 run by RU

 

[BillyC80]

Oh man, we look good.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

I also like how guys like Reiber and Oskar came up and weren't shy. They've come in to contribute. Nice.

 

[RUPartisan]

Love Pike getting the bench involved early here keeping everyone fresh.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Those back spasms look to be acting up a little with JY.

 

[ru66]

he walked

 

[biazza38]

Blocking foul? Did I miss something. Didn’t the Purdue guy fall

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Come on, finish this half strong. Had 15 point lead. Don't let them whittle it away here.

 

[bac2therac]

need to keep the lead in double digits the last 3 minutes....and Myles cannot pick up a foul...they will go inside as they are doing now...RU has to be ready and careful
