Rutgers/PU
- Thread starter 78alum
- Start date
Just tuned in, 11-4 fouls proPU already smfh! Looks like more than half of Rutgers players already in foul trouble!
Totally ridiculous. Edey with 0 fouls, lol. Rutgers had the chance to pull away.
4 RU starters with 2 fouls...Edey with zero.
Not watching but following on EPSN website...looks like RU was up 20-10 then the whistles started blowing?

Ha. Per Purdue social media they are acting as if Rutgers hadn't been whistled for a foul. It's amazing how much they deflect blame towards officiating when their team isn't playing well. Still not sure Purdue has ever lost a game in their programs history without it being the officials fault. Whiny bunch of f****** they have.
Just saw a replay of Gillis getting into the space of the ballhandler of Rutgers, who tried to bring the ball thru and he hit Gillis who then flopped. No call until Painter starts complaining then the ref calls an offensive foul. Def should have been against Gillis
Watch for free on Fox Sports Live, homie! RU isn't great on offense and cooled off.

So many people focus only on the officiating and calls/non calls and not much else. It's basically, how is my team getting screwed?
They called RU for 4 fouls in one possession, including 2 on Cliff for nothing, lol.
I love watching the Mackay fans in their lower bowl (lower bowel??) all stand up and make the "traveling" call during a game. Arms spinning around everywhere in unison. I think they teach their kids that move before they can even walk or use a spork to eat their mashed peas.
I'm just watching text feeds..got too much to do at work, if I tune in live video, I might as well start the weekend early..which sounds good right about nowWatch for free on Fox Sports Live, homie! RU isn't great on offense and cooled off.

I think Painter has done a masterful job in interviews complaining about fouls. It's really amazing how few fouls Edey gets called for. When I checked, he was averaging fewer than 2 fouls per game, which is hard for a starting post player to do. He just doesn't get called for the normal "goon" stuff like over the back, offensive fouls, etc... Early on I thought working to get him in foul trouble would be a good strategy, but somehow he's gotten the "good kid" label in the refs' minds and doesn't get whistles.
I have no love for PU, but Rutgers is fouling them on just about every possession and no whistles
It defies logic that Edey only gets called for 2 fouls a game.
Total ref show in the second half.
Also it's comical how bad Purdue is at beating a press.

I still think MSU is coming out of this side of the bracket. Any maybe both sides when Sunday is over.
Looks like playground rules. No Autopsy or Chalk Body Outline, No Foul.
Luckily for them, no one they would ever face in the NCAA tournament is going to have modestly athletic guards that can pressure PU's guards in the backcourt.
Purdue played well but not great - good win and I like our chances next round so win and we will talk
RU had their chances: they just aren't very good on offense.
There is no over the back foul to begin with. It’s perfectly legal to hover a smaller player back and grab the ball. These teams just lean on you so much and make free movement impossible.
My money is on Coach March and the green machine from East Lansing
Jimbo you may not win this game - Maryland has some good guards and you have a guard who sometimes plays well and sometimes plays like dog shit
Sweep! JHS went for a career high at Mackey and torched PU's mediocre guards: I think he just hit another mid range jumper!
PU looked like dog shit today, especially their guards. Then again, it is March.
I didn't see much of the game, but here is what I noticed about Edey. He pushed off on a lob, hooks Omoruyi on a post move and elbows/fore-arms him in the face (same play), and goes over the back on a rebound.
As usual, he should have had more fouls.
Maybe but a win is a win and this tourney means nothing contrary to what a few posters have said. - stay healthy and move on
Careful...this kind of talk makes the Boilies pants turn yellow.
Our Buddy @pig1960 is trying to sell the narrative that pu avoids any sort of physical play as we speak.
Sweep! Enjoy the win: it could be PU's last! Watch out for those non-mediocre guards!
If they could have hit layups and free throws in the last 4 min, they'd have won.
Lol, you cry more than Paul Mulcahy, hahah, I love it Bitch!
