[ScarletteK80]

TV-BTN 6:30.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Canty, Scaife, Hollivay, Parker, and Copper starting.

 

[RUCONN]

this is entirely unacceptable

this is entirely unacceptable

Then I suggest you can go back to the UConn board.

 

[andrewlobby]

No offense at all, and we got burned twice on an under the basket inbounds play (a recurring theme throughout the season.) The team looks sluggish, tired on offense. Not much inside, we should try for open looks at threes at this point.

 

[RUCONN]

Then I suggest you can go back to the UConn board.

rutgers class of 2004, from ct have 1000s of posts on here and been a paying member since 2004, dont appreciate ur dismissive attitude

this team looks like they cant be bothered to play with intensity...Purdue isn't that good matchup wise. RU just going through the motions on defense. We would mop this team up years ago. Its so disappointing..something is seriously wrong with this program, so much talent wasted.

yet the fans want to attack the posters and never want to address the problems

 

[bac2therac]

29-20..pathetic effort given whats at stake..they just don't care

 

[RUCONN]

team just literally shouldnt be this bad.

exactly. we are bad fans if we dont wave pom poms and love our under .500 record!

 

[andrewlobby]

Twenty points at halftime!! Nine points behind. I can't recall a RUWBB team who has underachieved as much as this one. We are lacking the firepower to come back.......what to do, coach?

 

[bac2therac]

the thing is that at most programs if they have a down year you can live it knowing there is a chance for better...at RU you know this is it. last year was the best they had and they blew it, tanking down the end of the season...yes Davis got hurt but there was more than enough this team...that's why they got stuck with 8 seed and Davis got hurt way after the team started sputtering. So this year we lose 3 players and next year will be ugly with a capital U. We are limping to irrelevancy under CVS so whoever gets the program will get it basically with nothing...almost the same as when Grentz left...following the same pattern as Teresa

shh you cant say that, how dare you...don't you know we cant have expectations

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers keeps challenging the notion that you can win in the B1G without scoring.Even if they hold Purdue to 50 points they probably will still lose because they will only scored 46 points.Purdue stinks which just shows how far Rutgers has fallen.

 

[bac2therac]

well it looks like they finally realized that they had to show up.

lets see if they can keep it up. Copper back in after getting pulled

 

[bac2therac]

oh mama 4 missed bunnies there

 

[RUJMM78]

How many layups is going Rutgers to miss in this game?The number must over 10 for the game so far.

 

[bac2therac]

36-34 keep it up, the press is really bothering them

 

[andrewlobby]

It's nice to see the press create chaos! Now if we can only make an inside shot. I don't like the way the refs are calling this half, though regarding non-calls on fouls.

 

[bac2therac]

Copper! Rutgers takes the lead.....39-36

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers takes the lead 43-38 on Copper,Hallivay and Scaife baskets.The fast break is working..

 

[bac2therac]

43-38....23-9 run this half...running on all cylinders...see this is why I get disappointed with this team...we know that they are capable of play like this but yet mentally they pull no shows

 

[Abro1975]

Nice job by Stringer at halftime . Team comes out playing hard And Smart ! Now with the lead. Take it home ladies !

 

[bac2therac]

Id rather the refs not call fouls, it will work to our advantage on the defensive end

pour it on now

 

[RUClassof67]

It's so great when they play with intensity like they are showing in the 3rd quarter. Must keep it up. This game is crucial.

 

[bac2therac]

45-42 end of 3rd....purdue press was bothering RU so have to watch that

 

[andrewlobby]

Keep it up!! Get the ball in Tyler's hands. Kaleah, no more stupid fouls, we need you!!

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers 47-46 with 8 minutes to go.

 

[bac2therac]

and the lead is gone

 

[bac2therac]

10-2 run...once again this team falling apart....PU up 52-49

 

[Turtle31]

52-49 Purdue, with 6 left

 

[andrewlobby]

Stop with the fouls already!!!

Losing our cool. Senior Copper standing with the ball as the shot clock expires. The press isn't working now but it leaves Rachel all alone under the basket to pick up fouls.

 

[wngarbarini]

The old 4th quarter RU swoon. Here is where we can't shoot, throw up air balls and lose by 11.

 

[RUJMM78]

Purdue 52-49.Rutgers committing stupid fouls which could decide the game in the last two minutes.

 

[RUClassof67]

4 bench points. Not good.

 

[bac2therac]

55-53 has to be done with d

 

[RUJMM78]

Purdue 57-53 2 minutes to go.

 

[RUJMM78]

Purdue 57-55 with 1minute to go

 

[RUClassof67]

No idea why we never get an call Copper got hit making the layup. Beautiful pass by Canty b

 

[bac2therac]

does this team think there is 10 minutes left....shoot
