Too pumped to get to sleep right now! Haters spoke too soon at halftime!! Bring on PSU
Nice win! Rutgers played very loose and made a ton of tough shots in front of the partisan crowd. It was nice to see the Boilers keep their composure and pull it out.
Vince looked like the old Vince tonight. 26 pts at 70% WOW!!
Well that should make these guys come ready to play from the beginning the next game. Really glad to have Vince back, needed him tonight. Haas better shoot some free throws before tomorrow.
that was a hero performance by Vincent. his ankle has to be killing him tomorrow with these consecutive games per day. I hope we're not making the situation worse for the NCAA.
Say it again.......Rutgers made some TOUGH shots tonight.........just about unstoppable.........just about
I’m glad that he’ll have a couple weeks to heal before the NCAA Tournament.
I was not happy with the lack of adjustments in what Baker and Sanders were doing tonight. Baker never took a shot to his right while Sanders took very few to his left.
Was just very frustrated that Baker kept doing the same move (dribble, fake right, crossover, step back jumper to the left) for probably 7 of his 10 shots.

I thought we were in their face most of the game....Shots sometimes go in anyway....
Those shots were contested. You don't foul a jump shooter. Rule 1
Rutgers goes as their guard's shots go. It is one on one basketball mostly with solid board work and tough D. They have a lot of length and guards that were on. If those same shots are taken and they are shooting just okay...Purdue wins between 15-20, but they have shown that when the stars align they can play with teams
me too. from personal experience tho, when those moderate to severe sprains aren't fully healed, it's real easy to re-injure it when playing on it too early, especially in these back-to-back games on consecutive games. to me BTT means nothing compared to being 100% and lay it on the line during NCAA.
I agree it was frustrating, but long 2s are exactly what you want the opponent to take. Baker & Sanders made a lot of shots, but they also missed 19 FGAs. Giving up 17 offensive rebounds leading to 18 more FGAs for Rutgers is what kept them in the game imo.
Despite the overall poor rebounding performance, Isaac deserves some credit for his 10 boards (1 off his season high).
Yep, from experience myself..............hell I can't walk along a curb with out turning my left ankle. Nothing left in that ankle.....
Edwards and Edwards money at the line! Mathias with great court awareness getting the ball where it needed to be! PJ with the defensive play of the game! I knew this game was going to be close Sanders and Baker were on a roll all tournament long so far. Glad we pulled out the win! Hopefully my adrenaline will calm down and I can get some sleep and be ready for tomorrow! Boiler Up!!
I know all about the weak ankles. I can almost feel the pain when I see someone hurt theirs...and have stepped on a rock and rolled it as well. Not sure they ever really heal...just get a bit stronger...

My left ankle has been "stretched" to the point where it doesn't even hurt to roll it anymore. It would have been better to break the darn thing........I know I tried LOL
Fully aware of the lack of pain and swelling. Mine hurts for a "few" and that is it...however it is the right that is worse for me...
At one point, it appeared that Rutgers was getting to shoot until they made one. Sanders played catch with himself on either side of the basket on one series when Rutgers collected three offensive boards.
Yes....that's when I had to suspend my "remote" rule......temporarily of course.
Need better results on the glass today.
