Or Gillis for muscle, or put Ivey for extra speed/pressure on him. Morton tried, but once he got in rythym down the stretch it was over. They stayed with that matchup too long. It was frustrating to watch.

Ivey had 15 points and 3 assists. Without him tonight, we lose going away.
OK I'm over it already. Knew we would lose at some point. It is what it is. Got the target off of our back now. Time to move on to the next.
I don;t remember seeing him in the 2nd half
Ivey played incredibly selfish. The late turnover was ridiculous, and the refs bailed him out time after time with simply being out of control. Love his talent, but he needs to focus on situational ball much, much more.
Yep, gotta be stronger or just as aggressive. When we attacked, we scored. We seemed timid on offense and then sometimes lost on defense.
I think we bounce back and go on a roll...
this game should never have been close. and how many times have we had a very small lead only to lose to a buzzer beating three pointer? it's as if, ok, we have the lead, and we dare them to shoot, and they always do, and they always make the shot. Wouldn't it have been smarter to foul the guy rather than allowing him to shoot? Losing games on last second three pointers is getting very old.
He does play out of control a lot.
and u live in NJ????Hahahahahha good game and have fun living in Indiana
People still think Morton suffering the effects of mono. He’s basically a white Eastern.
Are you kidding?? Without Ivey we lose this game by 20.
Selfish? He handed Sasha and Isaiah beautiful looks off of his penetration and they missed because of course they did. He basically had to play 3 on 5 down the stretch because Hunter/Morton are zeroes on offense. You saw it when Trevion was swarmed by 3 guys too. That lineup us not functional on offense.
On that shot up by 1 no way you foul, you take the chance that he’s not going to hit a mid court shot.
Exactly, dude hit a half court shot, got to hand it to him.
u really asking that question up 1 point???????? Find a basketball expert that agrees with that
Hunter was not good at all with the ball in his hands, but made a couple of clutch three pointers (when no one was making them). Morton made some great feeds into Tre, and a great offensive rebound that led to a Sasha three... so, they weren't completely without offensive positives.
Wha..? I'll take my chances on the 43 footer instead of free throws.
Exactly, do people realize that it took a half court shot. Jesus, don't let the IU trolls get everyone's panties in a bunch.
You have been granted the project. We are counting on you. It's December 9 and he must be here by the start of the 2nd semester. Time to stop wasting time harping and carping and whining and bring him in. We are watching. DON'T FAIL US!!!
I’m nicknaming Morton “White Eastern”.
Some people think he’s the PG of the future? Riiiiigght.
And you've just proven you're the idiot you don't think you are...
It’s on Painter for not getting someone in the portal.
But tell me Lil Andy, you still happy with our guard play?
He’s a 6’6 guard who is essentially now a defensive specialist, very little threat on offense.
He’s white Eastern.
Why not just go with Eastern 2.0? I would still disagree (they couldn't be more different), but at least you don't qualify someone with their skin color...?
I bet you were one hell of basketball player or coach? Are you sure you don't have another username as CoachGeez? Seriously...
Morton can still shoot a little bit. He’s been way better this year in that regard.
I think Purdue played too fast early trying to max possessions thinking Rutgers wanted fewer possession being short hand and maybe some sick. Purdue got away abitfrom going inside and rushing some shots and Rutgers was hot early. Purdue came out 2nd half with some effort, went inside early. Battled on the boards and made a run and now getting better looks.
First time many players were on visitor court and never had much poise. Towards the end Rutgers hits 1 ft and misses the next, but Harper has no Tre in his way and scores 2.
We know the ending , but with the ball and the lead with about 20 seconds and Matt subbedbrandon to get his ball handlers in and we throw it in the corner. Jaden got a couple of breaks with fouls and perhaps thought he would get another, but no whistle.
May need to see that inbound again
Rutgers shot 50% from 3. Purdue's 3-pt shot defense was one of the things identified early on as a weakness. Lots of things to work on, fellas. Fix any one of them and you win this game.
He wasn't selfish all the time, duh. But he certainly was at crucial points. The bull in a china shop mode doesn't work when pressed in the corner...common sense. And we don't automatically lose by 20 without him lol
If you aren't even going to try, then apparently we won't add another Ivey. So why will you even watch the rest of the season? Oh wait. Because harping and carping and whining is what makes you happy.
but you do have to at least pressure the ball and don't let catch it running toward the basket. we celebrated too soon.
You don’t throw the ball into the corner on an inbounds with the trap sitting there baiting you into that pass. That was dumb on Morton’s part
You see how IU did , getting guards in the portal, they are selfish and taking them down the tubes
