Prob cause they didn’t T up Loyer for screaming “bitch ass” after a timeout was called in McConnells face
Rutgers v. Purdue Game Thread
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
Rutgers will make the tournament but due to the difference in ref crews will have nobody to play in the second half of the first game because the entire team will be fouled out.
I like the Rutgers guards a lot. They will give that team a good shot come March
And when you add Omoruyi inside, they can be very disruptive. Their shooting can be suspect at times, but I haven't seen them as much this year as last. I thought they might make a run last year.
Also, Pikiell is a good coach.
A little perspective on the temple game. RU had both Mulcahy and McConnell out. Plus, at that time Reynolds had not gone down for Temple, and they were a much better team with him. (They were also shorthanded for Miami on the road, and received an apology for the officials stealing the Ohio State game - so the Rrésumé was not bad coming in.)
You are also not much of a historian. I assume you were talking about the Harper shot, which he did not bank.
And this team fouls less then it gets fouled. They use their length and good feet on defense. They doubled down this game a lot more than they usually do, but some of your fellow fans seem to acknowledge that you guys were getting the home court whistle on the strips in the post.
Well I was way wrong on the outcome of this game. Never ever thought we would lose @ home all year. Congrats to R. Tough bunch as advertised!!
BTW I predicted we would lose the next 2 road games due to our poor 3 pt shooting. Perhaps this loss flat out pisses them off enough where they win 1 of the next 2 or better yet, win both on the road. Hope so.

I was frustrated by many of the calls that went against Purdue, especially 2 out of 3 foul calls that went against Edey. I thought that it neutralized Edey to a large extent.
Mcconell and Mulcahy were both out with injuries in the Temple game, but go on champ RU 5 of 6
McConnell an Mulcahy (our two starting guards) we’re both injured early this season, so that’s how they lost to Temple and Miami. If RU had both, they could easily be undefeated. Either way, Purdue is a great team and Painter is a great coach. I have a lot of respect for your team. Rutgers just has their number right now. 🤷♂️
Other than some jerk fans here on this board (we have our fair share too) Purdue fans are some of my favorite fans in the league. Much better than the whoosier fans. Good luck the rest of the way except when you come to the RAC
We hoosier fans don't suffer this sort of cyber grab assery and neither should Boilers.
I once read a leaflet on Rutgers athletics/famous Rutgers sports legends on an airplane...
Refs haha, it must be painful being so butt hurt. Try not sucking and you might beat us.
Rutgers just might win the B1G this year (anyone but IU, Mich, or Wisconsin please). The metrics are elite defensively. When you factor in the 2 losses were without 2 starters and the OSU sham this could be a 13-1 team. They foul alot (get used to those road whistles Rutgers fans), but the turnovers/disruption the pressure and physicality creates is worth the trade off on most nights. Spencer is an upgrade over Baker.
As for Purdue, let's be honest they have not played well in a month since beating Marquette, WVU, Gonzaga, Duke in a row. The schedule since has been easy and this was the first true test since that stretch. Way too many missed open shots, FTs, turnovers, and defensive breakdowns tonight to win against a B1G contender, home or away. I have a feeling this team hates to lose and can't wait to see how they bounce back on Thursday. Edey should eat the 6'8 Key's breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Rutgers men's basketball owns the state of Indiana!
- RU has beaten Indiana six straight and 8 of last 9.
- RU has beaten Purdue 6 of last 7.
thank you and hope to see you again soon, your hospitality is appreciated...lol
Donovan Mitchell did better than that - hung 71 on da Bulls for a Cavaliers' franchise record.
Came to see how you guys handle losing to us compared to Indiana and was not disappointed 😂
nine missed free throws, especially the two by loyer were why we lost. yes, we played a terrible game but even with that if we hit our free throws we win.
I wouldn't doubt Fletcher Loyer's really upset with himself for those misses, although he came back to hit two after that and made what looked like the biggest shot of the game. These players go through a lot......we watch (and root as fans), but these kids live it and have to deal directly with the consequences. It's some humble pie and dose of reality for these younger players......but dealing with adversity and overcoming it is a bigger measure. Going to be a really good test of that coming up - two games away from home - both teams will look to play Purdue tough.

Pretty racist, huh? Most Italians from Jersey would kick your ass if you said to our face. Grow up
Congrats on your success. Maybe you'll get accustomed to it one day and forgo the post-game douchebaggery.
In the last three games our starting 1, 2 and 3 have played a combined 224 minutes and made 14 field goals.
Newman has played 58 minutes and made 14 field goals by himself. It's not often that your most efficient point producer at the 1,2 or 3 averages 7 less minutes than 3 other guards.

We were never going to stay undefeated. Plus they are one of the best defensive teams in college basketball. I'm OK with this loss. Make a few more free throws and we win easily.
I think Rutgers has exposed painter and Purdue in the fact that if the guy doesn’t have the largest humans ever down low he’s not all that great of a coach.
It’s much easier to draw up plays when you have. Guy who has to be doubled every time because he’s 7’2+
Never should lose at home when you are a top 5 team. Our house.
This loss surprised me greatly. I know R is tough but a top 5 team should hold home court all year.
The Hummel curse strikes again. Every game he calls we play terrible. He will be calling the PSU game too. I know it's just a coincidence but dang.
That’s how little you know about us. But it’s cool. We rise above your ignorance. Scoreboard.
Yep. Painter has been exposed! His team is not as good without his National Player of the Year front runner.
Very few teams can play defense like Rutgers.
If Purdue is hitting their 3's you are almost unbeatable. But the young guards have been inconsistent. That's the only thing holding this team back.
Lots of things. Omoruyi hit a 3. He now has 6 for his career. He also heeled a free throw and it dropped. Then they hit that crazy shot that hit the corner of the backboard AND the rim and went in.
We played like shit. Rutgers played great and hacked away as much as they could but still not foul anyone out. We lost by 1 point. Hopefully it's a wake-up call. But the truth is we're not as good as our record showed.
On to the next game. Wins in Columbus and Philly will make us forget about this one.
Top 5 Power 5 teams lose at home plenty. It's not even remotely close to being automatic.
The amazing shot block by Morton only to fall into the guys hands who hits a knock down three. Just some crazy breaks.
When Purdue has been good, like B1G Champion good, they lose zero or one home B1G game.
Don't look now but Texas is about to lose by double digits at home. Oh but they're only #6 so it must be different.
Edit: didn't realize there were still 10 minutes left. But still. Conference games are hard.
