Bumping this because it appears to be the official game thread.

Seems like the latest round of analysis has thrown a lot of cold water on the vibes right after the game that was had "clinched." Seems like we're still out in many brackets.

Still I'm not nervous compared to yesterday. I know we'll have at least a reason to watch selection Sunday.

Ah ok. Still a lot of Dayton being thrown around, which means we're a couple bid stealers away from heartache. Maybe we can make it all moot today.

RU has won 5 of 6 vs Purdue

 

[ScarletDave]

#1 Purdue? Great matchup

 

[mildone_rivals]

Meh. Nobody’s opinion on tournament selection matters but that of the selection committee. I ignore all the prognostications, especially those stated with certainty.

We’ll find out Sunday. Beating Purdue is what we control today.

 

[RUJMM78]

The key to the game is limiting Purdie 3 point scoring after passes from Edey who will be double teamed.

 

[Joey Bags]

Fletcher Loyer has a bond villain vibe about him

 

[leftoright]

2 wide open 3s for Purdue - hope that won't be the norm.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Nice Cliffy

 

[RUPartisan]

Omg Simpson needs to sit. Couldn't be worse right now.

 

[bac2therac]

[Saint Puppy]

LOVE that D on Purdue and Edey

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

[FrankZ_RU93]

Great effort. Boil them, please

 

[fatsam98]

Great start today

 

[RUby RED]

Man a confident Simpson changes this team’s offensive potential so much

 

[biazza38]

That was as physical as a first 3.5 minutes I’ve seen to start a game

 

[Saint Puppy]

Simpson can be a wild man - but him penetrating the D is exactly why we need him.

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

I can't stand hearing DJ Carstensen in games vs Iowa or Purdue.

 

[tfio]

Make them earn every effing basket

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Oh Cliffy

 

[bac2therac]

Whoa!
