We had to win this, and we did. Therefore I'm happy. Not the prettiest, but games against Rutgers never will be.

Good lord, if we lose itll be due to Rutgers' offensive rebounding and this 8 minute scoring drought.

Please put Reneau back in!

Bruce Weber couldn't be happier Rutgers made a comeback. Such a tool.

Just raining 3s on us. Death by a thousand cuts. Hopefully we figure out a way to put pressure on the perimeter and stop leaving guys open in the 2nd half. Feels like we should be up by 10+.

I would be ecstatic with a 6:30 ET start time for all our weekday games. Very conducive for those of us who try going to bed by 9:30.

We gotta beat Rutgers. I'm tired of losing to freakin Rutgers. Protecting home court is so big in February, given that our remaining road games are very difficult.

Agreed. I watch Trey Kaufman and am left wondering what kind of player he's trying to be. I was bummed when we missed out on a top 50 guy from southern Indiana, but I'm definitely not anymore.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but against Rutgers and at NW will be huge for us in the B1G race.

Northwestern getting homered in Madison. I really hope NW pulls this out. I'm sick of UW winning home games like this.

I'm pretty sure the Thompson family has maintained a massive influence over the program even after JT III got fired. An article came out a while back that detailed specifics. It'll be interesting to see what direction they go now that John Thompson Sr has passed.

Forgot about Bates. He'd start for sure. I'm not getting my hopes up on Bidunga no matter how many times he visits. He has seen some pretty darn good games at AH though, maybe he can't help but compare it to UC and see how much better off he'd be here. We'll need at least 1, likely 2 new bigs for next year assuming Duncomb leaves. Hopefully through the portal and high school.

In my dream world we get Derik Queen to reclass to 2023, JHS comes back, and Connor Essegian transfers in from Wisconsin. That would be a pretty solid unit with Reneau, Geronimo, and Galloway.

Whenever Boeheim hangs it up, I can't imagine SU will be a very desirable job. Dreadful location, and fish out of water in a conference that only cares about Duke and UNC.

Did you storm the court? Neither did I. And I also couldn't give 2 sh1ts what college students do to celebrate as long as no one gets hurt.

I was so drunk I swear I watched a Mason Gillis commercial. Lol like that would ever happen, could you imagine?

HELL YES! Down goes #1 in front of so many blue chip recruits.

We're daring the refs to call a foul on Edey, but they WILL NOT. We need to come up with a different strategy any minute now.

If we win, someone will have had to step up in a big way. Maybe JHS? TJD? Last year it was Phinisee out of nowehere with 17 first half points, followed by a huge late 3 to seal it. People forget how little TJD played in the game last year due to foul trouble. PU had Edey, Ivey, and Williams, but still lost. I expect to win this game. Close, maybe by 2 points, but I expect us to win.

That's the Archie Effect still taking a toll on us.

It does not take a miracle to win against Purdue.

Really hope we get a big win today for our NCAAT seeding, move up in the B1G, and start this difficult stretch of games on a high note. But mostly because I just freaking hate Purdue.

Also from the release - For all Purdue fans attending Saturday's game, please be sure to wipe all chicken poop off your boots before entering the arena. Thank you.

Can't Edey technically return next year? I'm pretty sure no major contributor graduates after this season. I thought they'd take a huge step back after losing Williams and a lottery pick but apparently the basketball gods hate me.

It's almost 10 years old.
