Purdue v. Rutgers Game Thread

[proudopete]

Hopefully this is how Vince will play for the remainder of his career.
I would love to see Ray follow his lead.
We need those two to be 10-20 points per game guys.

While Vince is definitely important in terms of keeping defense's on their toes, I think there's a few trends you can look at in our losses - turnovers being a glaring one as well.

Oh I agree about turnovers, was just curious how VE correlates in to that as well.

Received an email from Purdue for the Ohio State game this week.....highlighter yellow/green t-shirts. No thanks. Please tell me we don't have those gross neon uniforms like the football team. This will look great on national TV.

Can you not support cancer awareness with a normal color? Sigh.

Vince keeps it out of Caleb's hands............LOL, I jest

I think there's no doubt his involvement makes Purdue much more potent offensively. Tonight, let's be honest, he's got a tremendous match-up in his favor - but if it gets him involved and confident, all for it. He had pretty good games against Pitt, Wisconsin and Michigan. Not a good game vs. Vandy.

This team seems to go as Edwards goes. Anybody have his stats offhand in our losses out of curiousity?

Butler: 9, 3, and 2 with 1 TO (2-9 FG, 4-5 FT) 22 mins...2 fouls

TMHR: 7, 5, and 3 with 1 TO (2-3 FG, 1-1 FT) 20 mins....3 fouls

Illinois: 8, 4, and 1 with 1 TO (3-8 FG; 2-2 FT) 16 mins....4 fouls

Only complaint tonight so far is they've let the Rutgers guards penetrate and get easy baskets for their teams a few times. Not good help defense.

Shot selection has been pretty good (although I swear Swanigan shoots a 3 to start every game which can end any time).

 

[GemstateBoiler]

Hill gets the TO award. Bummer

 

[lbodel]

And Davis has forgotten how to make a layup.

Thanks. Interesting.

So did I see right we broke a first half scoring record set back in 75?

Not gonna be setting any offensive records this half...

 

[GemstateBoiler]

Kind of stinky butts so far in the 2nd

 

[GemstateBoiler]

Caleb double-double

Every game is correct.............smh

Nope. But with a 30 point lead I won't complain

Swanigan with blue shoes on..,. Don't think I've ever seen a Purdue player wear blue shoes in a game.

That's commonly referred to as the "Chally Syndrome."

And the usual 3 pt shooting woes....

If he stays till he's a senior, he'll start the game off with four 3-pointers

And Dakota responds to my gripe!

 

[PU pit bull]

travel no call.........like it matters now LOL

 

[GemstateBoiler]

I spit up my coors light-yuck

And Dakota responds to my gripe!

I think PJ did as well?

 

[02Boilermaker]

PGiT beat me to the Vince stats in losses. They aren't far off his season avg. Individual player trends I've seen in the losses:

-Biggie averages 4 ppg more in the losses, but offsets that with 1.7 to/g more.
-Isaac scored 4, 6, and 6 pts compared to a season avg of 11.0 ppg.
-Davis in the 3 losses is averaging 2 pts, 2 reb, 1 ast, 2 to vs season avgs of 9 pts, 3.4 reb, 2.1 ast, 1.6 to

 

[PU pit bull]

HELL YEAH.....................TAYLOR SCORES IMMEDIATELY

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

JT! Nice......and getting some love from Bardo.

 

[proudopete]

There's your JT.

 

[FirstDownB]

Every game is correct.............smh

Its like clockwork.. Almost to the point where I'm wondering if it's a strategy. Get him an early heat check and put the outside shot in the opposing 4's mind to pull him away from the basket? Is that a stretch??

 

[GemstateBoiler]

Taylor-a rebound

 

[BoilerBulldog]

I think PJ did as well?

And Cline. LOL

 

[PU pit bull]

ALL FRICKIN ABOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GemstateBoiler]

ALL FRICKIN ABOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Believe me, I know frickin...yeah!

 

[PU pit bull]

Did the net even move on Cline's three? Unreal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Bottle some of this "relaxed" shooting.

 

[PU pit bull]

No kidding Tex............they are having fun, and it shows in their movement, shooting, passing, etc. Of course it helps having this kind of lead........

 

[PU pit bull]

How many shots by Caleb inside the paint? Maybe he's learning..........bread and butter. and that's where the rebounds are too

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

ALL FRICKIN ABOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PU pit bull]

Damn, Taylor runs like a gazelle out there...............like this kid

 

[PU pit bull]

You get a response and a "like" for this one............beautiful
