No one on this team even knows what a jump stop is.
Young does multiple times every game

Tez must be at least +9. Young really flourished with Mulcahy off the floor. Mulcahy/McConnell pairing no bueno. Doucoure first half no bueno.

Could be up double digits with a few different rotations
Pretty spot on. Geo Young Mathis lineup should be our primary lineup that gets the most minutes. Is anyone tracking lineup combo +/- for the team? Would love to see what it is

Both teams needs this but Purdue REALLY needs the win. A loss and they will need to win the Big 10 tourney. Purdue can play their balls out or get tight. Rutgers can play with less pressure and with more confidence

LFG! Up at halftime... Now let's do what we always do in the second half

If our bigs don’t suck we win. The rest of our team is just better than Purdue’s. But Duke, Shaq, and Myles need to hold the fort on the boards and on D.

I’ve tracked it our called it in most game threads for the last 10 games lol

If we had more depth the whole rotation thing wouldn’t be that big of an issue but can’t blame lack of depth on Pike. If he can figure out the right rotations with 14-7 minutes to go in each half we’d be killing it most games now that he finally goes to the trio at the end of EACH HALF, which until today used to be just because the second half. That was a GREAT job by Pike there and nice adjustment.

Its been fine and they missed 1 if not 2 on Rutgers
in the realm of what we have seen from refs, yes, this ain't that bad. I would like to see the automatic calls even out. Like the screen calls.. Harms dribbles in the weave (ludicrous to allow this on D) and steps into the screen all the time.. then he rolls to the hoop. Watch him.

Given how well we shot the 3 in the first half, Myles should either have more room to operate down low or be prepared to find the open shooter. Need him out there.

8 turnovers Myles only playing 6 minutes I will take this. And we are a second half team!!

Up 3 at the half with Myles sitting out a good portion of it. Must play smart when he comes back in. Love this team. Let’s get this done!

Honestly our offense is stagnant with Myles in the game...but remember Purdue had their best 2 sitting too

Depends which one we get

Need a strong second half from Myles here

Aside from the around illegal screens I wouldn’t get too hard on Myles. Pikiell now plays him A LOT between 1st and 3rd TV timeout which is when we have some bad guard combos in there that pretty much render our half court offense non existent.

So many RU fans say, "We need Myles." We really don't. He provided nothing that half and we're leading. He's been pretty bad about 8, if not 9, of the last 10 games. He isn't a linchpin. He's a decent complimentary player.

Could be the most important 20 minutes of the season because of NCAA implications with a road win.

Just gotta survive 15-7. We hold serve in that 8 minute stretch we win easy. Give back a few points and still in a great spot. Get wrecked and we out Young Tez Geo Harper in a tough spot down the stretch
