Rutgers 70, Purdue 68 (12/9 Games)

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Regardless of what happens in our game against Arizona on Saturday, here are some games to keep an eye on if you are wanting to watch some hoops and you’re also a part of #TeamRankingsMatter and want that number next to our name again:

TODAY
• 5:30 pm, FS1: #7 Texas at #23 Seton Hall - Loss might knock SHU out and let us jump then, fair or not. Win definitely keeps them above us!

SATURDAY
• 11:00 am, FS1: #24 BYU at Creighton - Creighton is 7-2 this year and hung with #17 Iowa State in Ames. BYU loss definitely lets us jump them.

SUNDAY
• 3:30 pm, BTN: #20 Florida vs. Maryland in Brooklyn - UF likely drops out anyway with that stinker of a loss this week, but this would be the nail in the coffin.
• 6:30 pm, FS1: Rutgers at #23 Seton Hall - Another chance for an SHU loss, and it would make our win over RU mean more, as well.

Of course, if we can beat #11 and extend our winning streak to six games, we won’t need anyone else’s help!

Iowa is a 5 point favorite at undefeated, #17 Iowa State. An Iowa State loss would help.

If we beat arizona we’re ranked if we lose we’re not

Rutgers leads Purdue by 2 under 7 in the first half.

Edit: And a 3 by Harper makes it a 5 point Rutgers lead with 5:27 left in 1st half.

In spite of some glowing reviews....Purdue is not a juggernaut.

If we beat arizona we’re in if we lose we’re not

Rutgers leads Purdue by 2 under 7 in the first half.

Edit: And a 3 by Harper makes it a 5 point Rutgers lead with 5:27 left in 1st half.

Go Knights!

Simple extrapolation. Rutgers currently on the verge of winning by 10 over Purdue. And we beat Rutgers by 35.

Just sayin'..........

 

[lstewart53x3]

Rutgers up 5. 4 min to go in the first half.

College BB....You can never underestimate the craziness of the possibilities.............Home court means so much.........

purdont looks lost in space..................

this is why I put a lot of stock into my belief of the House of Paign on Saturday against the mildcats.............

 

[DICKnaggie]

Harper going off. CH totally locked him down last game.

 

[mainlabs]

Watching Harper 5 for 5 from the field. makes you really appreciate the job Hawkins did on him last Friday.

In spite of some glowing reviews....Purdue is not a juggernaut.

It's almost like winning basketball, especially on the road...is hard.

 

[lstewart53x3]

If Kofi got officiated like Edey from Purdue, he’d shoot 20 free throws a night

 

[CV Illini]

Is it possible for Rutgers to win and Mulcahy to lose?

 

[IlliniwekKDR]

Is it possible for Rutgers to win and Mulcahy to lose?

Rutgers wins and his girlfriend cheats on him tonight?

 

[Illini_1979]

Rutgers wins and his girlfriend cheats on him tonight?

So you think Mulcahy has a girlfriend?

 

[IlliniwekKDR]

So you think Mulcahy has a girlfriend?

Didn't say it had to be a good one

Purdue 7 point run...can we just see 1 Edey offensive foul please? He has an elbow that won't stop...but not called

 

[JLL48]

Mulcahy having about as good of a game as you would want him to have

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Purdue 7 point run...can we just see 1 Ekey offensive foul please? He has an elbow that won't stop...bot called

That's Edey. Ekey was our elbow.

 

[Chad Fleck]

Rutgers is wearing down.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Boilers on a 11-0 run. Rutgers starting to look like the Rutgers that played us on Friday.

 

[illinitiger]

That's Edey. Ekey was our elbow.

Fixed fat fingers...pulling for Rutgers and hope that Edey finally gets calls against him...he is annoying. Big/good, but annoying.

 

[LostinNebraska]

Not the best officiated game I've watched this year. Ivey getting the star treatment this half.
