We win if….

[RUfanSinceAnderson]

We get a fair whistle

 

[mikebal9]

Stop it. We win if:

Ron plays and plays well.
Our 3s fall.
We contain their big men and keep Cliff out of foul trouble.

 

[Plum Street]

Stop it. We win if:

Ron plays and plays well.
Our 3s fall.
We contain their big men and keep Cliff out of foul trouble.

And a little luck

 

[Scangg]

Cliff foul trouble #1 priority.

Definitely a possible nightmare scenario where we see a quick home whistle and foul trouble on Cliff and Caleb

 

[L&IC]

We score more than they do

 

[rudad02]

If Ron plays & we get a square deal from the refs we can sure win.

We contain there 3 point shooting that’s how we won the first time as with Illinois let the bigs get there’s but keep the 3 pointers to a minimum

 

[spas89]

We beat them without Geo we can beat them without Ron if we have to. We win if we keep playing stong D, Cliff stays out out of foul trouble and we shot 45%

I kind of take this for granted. Our perimeter defense is never a concern for me.

It was early in the season and against Minnesota and Maryland so it should be can’t double down

 

[FireBugOBJC]

So if Purdue wins We're already blamimg the refs?!

 

[Loyal_2RU]

We win if our defense is clicking as it has been.

We have given up a lotttt of open 3's this year. I do like our perimeter matchups in this game though and don't think they have someone to matchup with new Paul

 

[rob kight]

Last game against PU Pike threw everyone against Edey. Cliff, Ralph, Dean and even Luke. Luke actually didn’t get pushed around as much as the others. Williams totally overwhelmed Ralph. More concerned about containing Williams who comes off the bench but plays 25+ minutes.

 

[RUJMM78]

We score more than they do

Always the case.

 

[Scangg]

Wouldn't mind seeing a couple minutes of Nathan on Edey if he's killing us

 

[Miggins]

Think we need to shoot over 40% from 3 and no worse than -3 on rebounding

 

[RURahh]

We match up ok everywhere except their 2 bigs...Cliff has done a great job of staying out of foul trouble - but now has to go against 2 Kofi's, not just one. Need to prevent passes into the middle and swarm if their big men put the ball on the floor. Edey is a very physical ( and dirty) player who likely gets all the hometown calls.

Agree. With respect to our perimeter D, our 3-point % is only average at best.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Yeah giving up 34% on threes. Not great.

We need to to choose spots to double the post, but not leave their shooters open.

Don't double off Sasha

We can win with adversity.

 

[ru66]

We need a lot to win including luck

 

[phlop87]

We win if Cliff plays 28+ mins and Paul goes for 15 +points and 6 asst

 

[RURahh]

@Scangg - thanks again for pointing me here - never would have thunk it

 

[RU-ROCS]

We get a fair whistle

It’s not why we lost, but we certainly did not get a fair whistle. How many times did Lavin say “that’s not a foul.”?
