Utah State v. Purdue - Game Thread (2024 NCAA Tournament, Midwest Region - round of 32)

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Jonesy??? C'mon, buddy.

TKR hanging tough, though.

 

[RDUBoiler]

TKR is playing tough. Just needs to hit his foul shots.

 

[Boilermaker427]

jones man, what the hell, get it together

TKR being our scorer isn’t a good thing

 

[nime6]

The “let’s just foul them everytime” strategy in full effect

Hopefully the refs make them pay

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Trey has come to play!

 

[dumpsterFyre]

TKR is not him

Comment withdrawn 😅

For now

 

[Schnelk]

TKR redeems himself with the and1.

 

[krazychicagod]

LETS GO TKR

 

[nime6]

TKR baby!

 

[RDUBoiler]

TKR is killing it.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Trey again!!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

TKR brought the lunch pail! another and one opportunity!

 

[Boilermaker427]

TKR man, one person came to play today

 

[nime6]

Nice rebound after a poor start

 

[Schnelk]

TKR is alive and kickin!

 

[Erock_94]

More tkr

 

[RDUBoiler]

Both their bigs have two fouls. Just a little early jitters, but I think we'll keep it rolling. Need to get the guards hitting shots.

 

[BoilerBiker]

Foul trouble puts them in trouble already
Stretch the lead now

 

[krazychicagod]

This was the main key I mentioned before the game. We got a huge advantage now and need to press it

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Would be nice if Jones could find his shooting stroke of December and January

 

[dumpsterFyre]

Triple teaming Zach. TKR has to eat today.

 

[BoilerBiker]

Glad Edey didn't get called for an early foul defending their transition basket

Braden’s been off, Jones missed a bunny. Edey hasn’t gotten touches. TKR crashing the glass is what’s keeping us in it. And even he is a liability at the line

The fouls are huge at this point tho. They most likely bring them back in early and they will be playing off

 

[spoilerdave]

The fouls are going to kill them. Both of their bigs with 2 fouls each in the first 4 minutes. Still 36 minutes to go, they are gonna ride the pine a lot or foul out early. Changes the game entirely. TKR and Edey both have huge scratches on their arms/shoulders. If our guards get going this could be a blowout. But that's an IF because I haven't seen it yet.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

They are doubling Smith. Need other guards to step up.

 

[spoilerdave]

Alley - OOOOOOOPPP!

Smitty looks like he's off balance taking those shots....some bad turnovers again early.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Oh great, Maryland cast off is making threes

 

[nime6]

Need the guards to get some shots

Smith with a much needed 3

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Smith for 3!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

There you go - BULLSEYE from Agent Smith!

 

[Erock_94]

Ghost foul

 

[RDUBoiler]

Ugly possession. Nice finish with Braden's three.

 

[nime6]

Terrible foul

 

[Schnelk]

Thank you Braden! Now get a stop!

 

[qazplm]

Turnovers. Again.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Cheap foul!

 

[Boilermaker427]

The ref called the foul before the contact. Wow

 

[Schnelk]

That's a terrible call against Braden. No way!

 

[Boilermaker427]

Edey has had terrible position on offensive glass. And Edey should have jammed that: what’s he doing
