We need more time on the clock. But no quit in us. Give us a shot with a 3 to tie.

Wow great effort boys. Unfortunately I’m not in to moral victories, but one day these will be W’s.

These types of games would be meaningful except you know it doesn’t translate to success against weaker teams - it’s just so Rutgers.

We belonged on the floor with the number three in the nation. Next year we will be better. Going in the right direction. This team is very inconsistent but with work all will improve. Go RU

Thank you all for sharing the game.

We have one or two more solid contributers and we win this game. RAC is an awesome environment. Recruits will love to play here. Build the practice facility, add in to the RAC and we have a budding NJ basketball powerhouse.

Purdue fan here. Good game Rutgers. We were lucky to pull out the win at the RAC. Future is turning in the right direction for you guys. Sanders and Baker is a hell of a backcourt. I like your coach and think he will turn things around. Just give it a little time.

Good luck the rest of the season. Can anyone send me a 'boli from Stuff Yer Face? I miss my time living in the area.

Turn on the game - Bullock heaves a 3, Baker fouls on a 3-pt bunny, Thiam travels. Purdue is a great team, but how can Rutgers consistently recruit players who are so clueless and just give points away?

Click. Better ways to spend the rest of the afternoon.

I'm glad you missed a great game. I hope you enjoyed your afternoon oof shopping...lol

I hope you did not DVR it...fans like you don't deserve to watch a great game.

I like what Bullock can bring to the table, especially on the offensive end around the glass. Looks like he has a nose to score.
He's always going to be a thick. Barkley was thick too. He just really needs to get into better shape. He's obviously a strong kid.

We're not in this game without the tremendous defensive gameplan by the staff. And if course Corey having his best game of the year.
And why can’t they game plan a
and why can’t Sanders play this way against Illinois - extremely frustrating and, I know you didn’t call it a moral victory, but I’m so tired of moral victories.

Hey where are all the Corey bashers????????? Chirp Chirp Chirp.... Lots of crickets. One of the best performances in RU history given the ranking of the opponent.

Don't let any posters tell you bad refs don't make a difference. Purdue shoots 29 fouls shots and hits 25? That was the proverbial ball game. Glad Pike was not Mr. Nice Guy with the refs.

This game is why we're hard on Corey sometimes... because we know has has THIS in him. His last four games he shot 3-12, 0-7, 6-17, and 3-10. Those are bad numbers. He was a LOT better tonight and we need to see it more from him.

Rutgers got high double digit scoring from Sanders,Freeman and Baker which kept Rutgers in the game.Purdue won the game because of foul shooting and four players scoring in double figures.The coaching staff and players should be commended for the outstanding effort in front of a sellout crowd.There were moments where the game could have gotten out of hand but Rutgers kept fighting and Sanders was outstanding with dribble drives and pull up jumpers.There were a number of in an out shots by Rutgers down the stretch that were difference makers while Purdue kept sinking foul shots.For a few moments this game had a similar feel to Seton Hall where Sanders seemed to will the team to victory but in this case Rutgers couldn't get the lead.

Hard to make up a 17 point FT deficit, but we were careless around the 10 minute mark of half 2. Purdue didnt have too many empty trips and play smarter than us. Makes a big difference.

Hope you really did turn it off at that point.
