At least Morton doesn’t take bad shots, Jenkins should never even be shooting it.
Rutgers v. Purdue Game Thread
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
So the whole game was blew on that one particular play? Interesting way to think about it.
That’s the thing. If they’re open, they HAVE to shoot it. Would rather have Jenkins keep shooting than black hole Morton.
We were never going unbeaten for the season...but we should not lose at home.
He doesn't realize his team are a bunch of hackers. Unfortunately, that can win a tough game and it worked
At that juncture, yes.
Obviously, other plays led up to that play, but that single play at that juncture just cannot happen, and cost Purdue the game.
and lost to temple LOL
refs helped you tremendously. Your entire identity is foul so much eventually the refs let them go. That's again what you did today.
lucky for you, you guys are always blessed when you play us, banked half court shots, triple bounces around the rim, awful out of bounds calls, us missing tons of FT's and open shots.
Whatever is needed, you get, when against us, but then lose to the Temple's of the world. So since this was your NCAA championship, again, you can have it.
You are new here clearly. Welcome to the Purdue board where the refs are blamed and not our game planning
You realize that Purdue is the second to last team in the country to lose their first game? Right? I saw a lot to like in the second half this game. They battled and they lost, but I feel very good about this team.
They surrounded him well.....Purdue got a good shot, and Newman had been making them.....you have to live with that, I guess. JMHO
Good game you will go nowhere in the turny fouling that much
Ugly ball
Ugly ball
No matter what, we will wake up in the morning. Prayers up in Cincinnati for Demar Hamlin.
Tough game tonight good job in fighting back. Gotta put this behind us and come ready for o$u because thats gonna be a fight as well
I get it but the refs called a foul on RU every possession. Purdue got every freaking call - it was absurd.
Definitely a nice comeback. Still tough to lose at home as the “number 1” team…and to Rutgers…again.
Time is a spiral.
Congrats on your newfound basketball success. I had low expectations from fans in your state and you didn't disappoint.
Definitely another challenge for the Boilers - that will be well done if they can get out of Columbus with a W.
His career numbers (large sample size) say otherwise. Need him to keep taking wide open threes, even though he’s definitely been disappointing.
Purdue can’t afford to have a guy on the floor who offers nothing offensively, which is what Morton is becoming.
Not so sure the Gonzaga and Duke wins look as good in 2023 as they did in 2022….exposed
As I said, history has repeated itself too many times. I would accept a loss. But this loss is so much like every single other loss from the past! How many times have our losses been to someone making a 3 against our last second defense? It happens way too many times. It’s not our last shot that was bad. But rather it was our defense that allowed them to take that shot. Foul the guy before the shot! Let them have 2 foul shots. The game is tied and we have 10 seconds and the ball.
The reason you got fouls called is because you fouled constantly multiple players. Ugly ball your team is better than that imo it is actually a bad game plan for such a good team
how simple is it to not help 20 feet off their ONLY 3 point shooter?
it is a simple game
In some ways this reminds me of the time that Duke came to Mackey when the Baby Boilers were sophomore and taught them a thing or two about playing with intensity. Rutgers isn’t Duke, but they played with that same type of intensity this game and I think it will be a good lesson for this young team. Purdue matched their intensity in the second half, but it wasn’t quite enough to overcome the first half deficit. I hope that they will be better for this experience.
Prayers for Damar Hamlin. Honestly, all this bantering is pointless.
C'mon Wole - you generally don't foul in that situation up two.....there was a breakdown, no doubt....will be interested to hear Painter's analysis/thoughts on that because I have to assume that's definitely not the shot they wanted to give up.
I was at the game, Purdue missed lots of FT’s and a ton of 3 pointers, Rutgers deserved to win. I’m a Purdue diehard, the Boilers benefitted from the home court tonight, in the Big Ten that happens, Rutgers guards are really good.
Does put things/life in perspective, unfortunately so - awful to hear of that, and I join in the prayers.
They can definitely learn from this even taking the first loss. Agree that they were much better in the second half.....just too many mistakes overall or not enough plays to overcome it. Rutgers looks like a tourney team to me, right now. Purdue won't face too many better defensive teams either.
On a positive note... We did score one more point than LSU!
On the bright side (which I realize is tough to see right now), they may have found some shooting return in the second half. Let's see how the rest of the week plays out.
