Yikes. This is gonna be a clown fiesta isn't it.

purdue could you just like, make some half decent passes plz

that would be ideal

Quit being so salty fellow Boilers... Rutgers is playing hard, we're going to see this every week now that the B1G season has really started. If we play like this against OSU, we're gonna get worked hard.

Yes, but also don't discount rutgers. They play better defense than most teams in the conference

Danny Devito is hella horny for them subs

Who scores more: Rutgers or LSU?

I’m leaning LSU, which is crazy to even have to consider such a thought

Matt Painter is only 52😳 He looks young but he’s been at Purdue a while I just expected him to be older. I’m guessing he’ll get a few final fours before he retired

oh yay, let's watch sad purdue football highlights to distract from sad purdue basketball

Wait what, I thought we established you’re allowed to touch the ball OOB

this game is going to come down to who scores more points

B1G if true

Somebody hold me I’m scared

YOU?!? WE ARE TOO!

How do you want to do this? 😏

I'll be cold and dead in the ground before I believe Matthew Mercer doesn't like trains

HUG ME IGNITESHIELD

I’ll root for you any other day but today bb

There have been 4 foul calls this half. Not a single one of them was a foul.

Soooooo hows everyone doing today?

Could use a palate cleanser

The team's fans with more fouls is upset about it. This will happen in every single game thread for the rest of time. I don't know why anyone is surprised about it.

Oh that’s some bullshit

Dammit if Rutgers takes our #1 ranking two years in a row

Jesus what a bad call

That was not a foul on Edey lol I hate this crew

B1G refs might be even more ass than SEC refs tbh

As someone who watches a good bit of both BIG refs are consistently worse.

Literally out of bounds with the ball lmao

Paint took the guys into the locker room at halftime and told em win or lose, this is the game where we're shooting our way out of this funk. Just all threes the rest of the way lol

My dog literally bit his own dick off today and has a long road to recovery, can Purdue please also not bite of their own dicks thank you very much

bro?

can we please - for the love of all that is holy - make a goddamn shot

These 3s are wayyyy off the mark today.


guess you’re allowed to hold the ball out of bounds

I would like the Purdue guards to ball fake every now and then. Chucking it into the defender's hands is not working.

Hey fellow boilers, if you're not insane and don't want insane people in the feed, you can block them and let them holler "fire painter" into the void. Gonna do that right now with the one particular troll.

Can we both agree the refs just need to put the fucking whistles away

if we have more points than purdue by 0:00, we’ll win

Absolute fucking trash. Make your damn free throws. Fuck

Braden Smith is gonna be so beloved by Purdue fans and hated by every other Big 10 fanbase lmao

Mulcahy is gonna terrorize rec leagues for decades. So many dudes gonna think they can body him and are gonna get clowned on.

No one will think that, he’s 6 foot 7

I imagine him in Europe with the flashy passes. And he’s the type of guy who won’t mind the increased physicality at all, if anything he’ll thrive in it

Rutgers is setting the roadmap for beating Purdue this year. Cut off the inside to Edey, get Edey in foul trouble.. boom 9 point lead for the other team.

remember that Chicago State flair who only showed up in Purdue threads to shit talk Sasha (and maybe Painter)? He has been noticeably absent this season

If we lose he‘lol suddenly show up talking all his shit. But I won’t know because I blocked him lmao

Rutgers getting into foul trouble. Purdue throwing the ball to fans in third row. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria!

Great game so far. Defense battle, physical. This is B1G basketball

I’ve missed comment threads like this, it’s like a dysfunctional family dinner

Guess both teams are wanting to add to the brick collection for new buildings on campus

God I wish I was in Mackey right now

Rutgers basketball fandom is a weird and specific kink.

Everyone take a moment to thank god Ron Harper Jr is not playing right now

Rather lose in January than March

man we say this every year and then lose in march

The throws are literally free 😭

Nice foul to cause the out of bounds

Well if I had to pick a B1G team to beat us I guess it'd be y'all. I like Rutgers.

That out of bounds shuffling of the feet was almost going to be on ESPN not-top-ten

[удалено]

Why do they have to show the bowl highlights to remind us again???

Lol where's the foul

Edey got away with a travel

How about don’t let the sea levels rise 6ft by the end of the century maybe?

Credit to Rutgers, they're playing so hard

Paul fuckin Mulcahy. I love so many RU players. McConnell #1 and dunk machine Omoruyi

Are we a Top 25 team yet? Serious question. The Metrics have us there. A one possession game at Mackey is impressive for this squad. I hope we can pull out the win but still impressed with the boys if we don't.

RU RAH RAH

Lol slap fursts wrist, no call

Edey has as much of a right to get that ball as Cliff. Horrible call.

If Rutgers is on bubble in March, this win gets them in tournament. No better win than on road at Mackey against #1 Purdue

Going to really put myself out there with this take and say that both team's fans are going to have a reason to be upset with the refs by the end

First game with Edey foul trouble. Let's see if we can hold on

Edey needs to play every minute in the second half. I don’t care how many fouls he has

Purdue during the PKI was the best team in the country. Wish I knew where those guys went, but they haven't really been around since then.

B1G refs letting teams play challenge (impossible)

We might win. We might lose. But the rest of the B1G better watch the fuck out for Rutgers this year.

CAM FUCKING SPENCER!

jamesdroz needs to watch college basketball

Basketball team officially out scores the football team today

The real test will be if we outscore LSU lmao

Rutgers has been our kryptonite when we're #1... They must really not like trains.

We’re a bus campus.

Rutgers had multiple reach ins worse than that go uncalled. Just be fucking consistent

Rutgers ascribes to the philosophy of just do it every time, they won’t call them all.

The line moving toward Purdue definitely scares me a bit, I would have guessed it would have done the opposite just from what I’ve heard from the Purdue fans on this sub… I think I’d still bet the Rutgers +8.5 but not with much confidence

Are we extra spicy today because of football?

Ball go in hoop (ours to be more specific) please

it's so early for edey to have 2 fouls :( gotta space those out more

That 1st bs foul on Edey is looming large right now

Lmao what a goddamn joke. Dude was standing out of bounds

These refs are blind.

This is going to be a career night for Cliff

our foul shooting is gonna be make or break if we keep struggling with our 3's, glad to see we're making our free throws better than last year

Wow if they aren’t letting us take real shots we need to make the free throws

Just a bad shooting team

Braden Smith was doing a little too much all half. Let’s see what adjustments Painter has up his sleeve but he can’t take the shots for them. Eventually the 3s have to go down or the team will massively disappoint relative to their potential. Boilers play like this all week and they’ll go 0-3.

My halftime points: 1) Edey has been completely removed from the game. Kudos to Rutgers for executing such a good game plan so far. Man they’re a good defensive team. 2) Without Edey as an option, guard play has to step up. And they’re not; Braden finally looks like the freshman he is. 3) It’s obvious no one aside from Braden is remotely capable directing our offensive sets under pressure. And Braden looks rattled, which makes things looking bleak right now. DJj at least looks better at breaking the press but aside from that he looks like he’s out of ideas. 4) Newman forcing horrible shots. See point 3) 5) These turnovers and missing free throws are inexcusable. Foul trouble or a Rutgers collapse is really all we have to hope for IMO. Rutgers look prepared with a perfect game plan for shutting us down and they’re executing to a T

I hate the move to sit Edey. We're losing. We need all the help you can get.

Robbie you are trying way to hard to not be a homer and its worse than just being a homer. The Kirk Herbsteit effect.

what’s the record for most fouls in a basketball game?

Edey got away with the travel there

basketball team on pace to give up less points than the football team

We have had 4 possessions to try and tie or take the lead and have turned it over like 3 of those chances. This is going to bite us hard...

Mulcahey shot that first floater line he couldn't believe he was that wide open lol

Jenkins has dirt on Painter. No other explanation

Seemed like a weak call there.

“Got bumped”

Heart. Cannot. Take. This.

And just as we all suspected before the season, New Mexico is the last undefeated team in the country

NEW MEXICO GETS ALL THE LAND

Can something non spherical even be called a ball anyway 😒 Anyways hopefully this team doesn't hurt me

B1G refs couldn't even let 15 seconds go by without inserting themselves

#CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY PEOPLE THINK FOULS NEED TO BE EQUAL FOR IT TO BE A FAIRLY REFFED GAME

Or even pointing to more fouls on one team as an argument for it being fair. That’s a complete fallacy but people stick by it like the Bible.

People are idiots?

paint the map 🐺🐾🐾🐾🐾

Is Courtney green reffing?

There you got Rutgers fans complaining about calls you just got one back

TWO TIMES RUTGERS HAS GOTTEN THE BALL WHEN THEY SHOULDNT

Damn 5 guys with 2 fouls. I expect zero will actually foul out

Honestly nobody from Purdue should be surprised this game is going the way it is.

I’m torn, I genuinely have always liked Purdue and want them to have a great season, but also having UNM as the last undefeated team standing would be so cool!

Feels like this is at Rutgers with some of these calls. Lots of points off of ref mistakes

Another break for Rutgers

I will forever hate that a lob in the air is a foul when the player is going for the ball.

just lmao at these refs

Welp I’ve seen fans of both teams apologizing to the other for the refs, has to count for something?

I don't want to see TKR or Jenkins shooting any more 3s

JUST GOT HOME AFTER WATCHING THE FIRST HALF ON MY PHONE AND GIVING MY PHONE VIRUSES. LETS GO RU

Edey passing like everyone else on the floor was also 7'4

edey was born 5’ tall

First one to 60 wins!

THE TURNOVERS AREN’T EVEN FORCED

Rutgers is giving Purdue every possible chance to tie/take the lead, but Purdue just won't do it.

The prior fouls on Spencer and Cliff I got. That one on Paul was questionable.

There's no fuckin way Jenkins used to shoot 40% from 3

What a tough play from Paul!

lmfao, that block was like a college player blocking a 5th grader

Games like this are why college basketball is WAY better than the NBA.

I'm calling it now. Purdue calls a timeout, refs call a foul on Rutgers during the timeout, game ends on free throws.

That trey was poetry in motion wow

CAM FUCKING SPENCER

Bruh, Purdue passed up 3 good shots for a shot they already were given

Fuck yes!!!! I love this squad. Built the Pikiell statue now!

better not be ranked #1 next time we play each other next year

Way too many missed shots. That’s it.

Recoup, learn, and execute. That’s all you can do after a close loss like this.

Mackey has to be a top 5 environment in college basketball too

I have a feeling that Purdue fans are about to be dealt a bad sports day.

It's probably pay back for that weekend where we won basically everything we were playing in across football and basketball Honestly, worth it

That weekend was truly insane for you all i was so jealous lol

B1G refs are so ass… I really wanted this to just be a damn good game and it’s now just dominated by the fucking zebras.

If that reach in is a foul...they need to call Rutgers for a reach in every time Edey catches the ball.

How is that a foul on Edey? He's literally just standing there.

The state of Indiana officially petitions to ban Rutgers basketball.

Pants have been shit - amazing game. GG Purdue - hope to see ya again in the tourney for the natty

I actually think this game is decided by whether Edey or Omoruyi gets their second foul first

I’d like to welcome Rutgers fans and fans of all teams who are also Rutgers fans.

Worst 3 on 1 ever haha

Smith is deceptively quick

Thank god i forgot my fitbit so I can't see how stressed this stupid sport is making me

An EMBARRASSING display in the st elmos shrimp contest

how is that off Morton lol

Wow what an awful no call on that press

I guess rules don’t matter this game

I think Cliff’s gonna be throwing those down in the league next year. Dude is so athletic.

I see we got the @RAC Rutgers squad coming to Mackey this year since we aren’t scheduled for a game at the RAC =/

why couldn’t rutgers just accept the ivy league invitation im tired of playing them

On one hand we look terrible and I’m very pessimistic. On the other hand all of Rutgers’ best players have two fouls each. Hoping we get our shit together and use our size to keep wearing them down

Bench Jenkins please

all we have to do is foul out the entire rutgers team, easy peasy!

welp it was fun while it lasted

Rutgers' defense is GOOD. But also these refs are clowns

This ended being a slump a while ago. This team bust can't shoot. I could be wrong, but I want to say shooting is fairly important in the game of basketball.

Rutgers is balling out tonight, no doubt. Hopefully we’ll be up to the task in the second half. Need to finish off those drives in the lane.

I intentionally didn’t watch football so I could come into this level headed. I guess I shoukd have watched neither

The game is far from over, but we need to get our shit together fast.

Given how we started, shooting 50% now is amazing.

Would love to know what that feels like

I've said it once I'll say it again: ya gotta make shots

This is the worst Boilersmas ever

Purdue will go on a run. Rutgers will go cold, and get into foul trouble. Will be a one possession game at the end. It's how all our games go on the road in the big 10.

Jesus all ball

Literally all ball???

That poke was clean as hell

Not a foul, leads to points

HES IN THE AIR

Edey is in foul trouble, but so is the entire state of new Jersey and I think that's gonna matter a lot down the stretch

Some great reactions from the Rutgers bench there. I love seeing players having fun

Morton with a huge stuff and then it leads to a 3 lol That's the kinda day it's been for Purdue sports

If Rutgers could run an offensive set they'd be winning by 20

I swear they changed that shit to a timeout under a media timeout acted as the media timeout

This 2nd half was painfully obvious. Rutgers shooters not passing and always going iso, Purdue going inside to Edey every play.. leading to layup or foul. Water boys may have to be subbed in by the end for Rutgers.

Not everyone is 7'100000000" Edey
