This is entertaining stuff!

Rutgers offense = one of the guards shoot a pull-up jumper preferably from just inside the three point line. Hopefully get the offensive rebound and somehow throw it back in.

There’s a lot to like about C. Edward’s game, but my favorite part is that his shoes look like Timberlands

MGoTweeter · March 3, 2018, 3:46am

Haha. Noticed that earlier. I’m certainly not hip into the shoe game so I’m sure those are cool with the “kids” these days but I don’t get it. All those straps and they look like they are flesh colored.

I can just see Pikiell pleading “please, please, after the 4 crossovers, when you go to take a pull-up, fadeaway jumper, just do it behind the line where the shot is worth 50% more points.”

And Sanders just absently nods his head in low key defiance

Tremendous game, but I’m fighting so hard to stay awake.

@Mattski I’ve always hated that logo. I know that it represents every school, don’t care. It’s fugly. It’s an embarrassment.

Yep, after the Edwards lay in for 74-67 it was time for a timeout.

If Rutgers pulls this out, I think we know which of the four factors was key - offensive rebounding. Is PU not that great on the defensive glass or is RU just playing out of their minds?

BleedBlue · March 3, 2018, 3:55am

And if they lose, eFG%, as is tradition

MGoTweeter · March 3, 2018, 4:01am

Agh so many long twos by Rutgers. It’s driving me crazy

jemblue · March 3, 2018, 4:02am

Purdue finally remembered Haas was on the team.

MGoTweeter · March 3, 2018, 4:10am

Valiant effort by Rutgers. Pretty entertaining game which might be the first time I could say that about a Rutgers basketball game.

therealmirman · March 3, 2018, 4:12am

Rutgers, as a team, deserves some kind of all tournament thing. Not just a participation trophy - more like a holy hell, you made this tournament more exciting trophy. Great game, those two kids, wow. And Mike Williams may have been fouled and Haas should be ashamed of himself, getting out rebounded by a guy as small as Williams. Williams just took it right from him.

Exactly what my wife noticed!

jemblue · March 3, 2018, 4:13am

Well, I can’t say I wasn’t entertained.

Pretty interesting visual of the conference up to this point for the year.

I think it’s meant to represent the cluster-f*** of conference realignment.

He played 7 minutes and scored one point. He played a total of 22 minutes in 18 Big Ten games, and was not the difference between winning and losing in a single one of them.

There’s a difference between a serious contributor and a spot contributor. You should learn it, instead of obsessing over a personal crusade.

tarverine · March 3, 2018, 6:07pm

It’s amazing how stubborn some people remain in the face of contradiction. But hey, Michigan’s Big Ten wins ceiling is still 11 wins, right??

chazer · March 3, 2018, 6:17pm

Still like IBI’s potential. If JB has him on the court in the first half of a tournament game then he has confidence and faith in the young man. I will not be surprised to see him as a contributor over the next two years. The same can be said of Caris, Rahk, Spike and I’m sure many others. He’s a foundational player who knows the system…need seniors to win games!

Go Blue!
