Rutgers vs Purdue / Game Thread

[RUfromNJ]

Haarms must play extremely clean for a 7’3” big man

 

[leftoright]

tell Mulcahey he's allowed to shoot

 

[bac2therac]

Not valuing possessions while Purdue is struggling. Have to get some cushion

Defense solid but Purdue will make a living at the line soon

Pike needs the right lineups in..full stop

 

[RUJMM78]

This is the time of game where you need go to scorers .Both teams shooting bricks.

 

[leftoright]

Really Haarms isn't elbowing people constantly

 

[RU848789]

only 7 points from our bench...but we're up 45-43 with 12 left. Can I get a "one time?" (in no limit hold-em, if someone is all in and way behind with, say 2 cards that can win for him, they'll almost always ask for a one time miracle card on the river)

 

[BillyC80]

Keeping it tight. Gotta play smart and give ourselves a chance to win at the end.

 

[RUsince52]

It's amazing how we can't seem to hit a shot where we make a nice defensive stop and nothing going the other way. Some of our shots are wide open.

 

[RW90]

Our shooting starting to cool off.

 

[BOCA93]

How does Haarms not have 4 or 5 fouls by now. This guy is a foul machine on every possession, offense and defense. And since when can you smack the backboard to alter a shot ?

 

[gregkoko]

Awful possession.

 

[Rutgers25]

Bad possession..ugh

 

[RutgHoops]

12 great minutes

 

[richthedentist]

tell Mulcahey he's allowed to shoot

Get him out he just holds the ball for 5 seconds and we end up with a shot clock violation

 

[bac2therac]

Terrible offense...what the **** Young..you cant start running the offense 35 ft away with 5 on the shot clock

More missed opportunities

Practically strangled Mulcahy on that one play.

One time is used in MANY circumstances

like when I bet that 20-1 shot who is winning at the top of the stretch and need it to hang on

 

[richthedentist]

More missed opportunities

Because Mulcahy held the ball for 5 seconds

 

[rufeelinit]

Our half court sets are just brutal at times. Too much iso dribbling that is not at all productive. Pass the damn ball. We are just giving away too many possessions. Can't do that and expect to win.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Young-Mathis-Yeboah-Harper-Myles. Mix in Geo as well. We should ride those 6 + a little shaq this final stretch. Paul does nothing get him out

 

[bac2therac]

Someone has to say we are winning this..when Geo comes back in he has to take over

I think we are not playing the offensive side with confidence

 

[richthedentist]

We just never set any off the ball screens

 

[RU848789]

we were 5-6 from deep, now 7-14 for 2 of our last 8 - can't fall in love with treys - gotta go inside more, especially with Harper and MJ of dribble penetration, like JY did a few minutes ago leading to MJ's dunk.

 

[leftoright]

They discourage him from shooting.

 

[Shell21]

I agree . Roll with 7. Paul can’t be out there in this game . Shaq and young are the other 2.

 

[RutgersChow]

All the metrics say differently about our offense but ok

You just need the eye test when it comes to our offense. Maybe if we ran something that looked like an offense we would have two more wins. We have more talent than this team - with an offense we're up by 10.

 

[richthedentist]

Finally and that was aback court

 

[zebnatto]

Oh, my nerves.

 

[RUsince52]

A 50 year foul ?

 

[bac2therac]

3 chances to build lead blown

 

[richthedentist]

Get him out Mulcahy

 

[RU848789]

3:38 scoreless streak

 

[RU516]

We just never set any off the ball screens

We have no one who can curl off a screen and hit a jumper

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Pike come on man. Ask yourself what is paul doing to help this team

 

[bac2therac]

4 blown chances..stop gping to Myles..thats not we will win

Lineup is garbage now

 

[rufeelinit]

Don't like this five out there on the offensive end.

 

[RUJMM78]

Horrendous offense by both teams.

 

[Super tRUper]

Mathis gets mugged no call

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Yeboah is so tough man. Kid can guard anyone

 

[bac2therac]

Mathis!
