I thought the crowd was pretty dead a lot of the night. Just when it wanted to get going, Rutgers answered and took them out of it. We need the red zone back. My section was full of guys throwing back beers and talking loudly about the cheerleaders they wanted and weren’t paying any attention to the game. I think our lack of foot speed got exposed a bit tonight. Rutgers bigs were faster and more athletic. We had more size, but didn’t use that to our advantage. Why hit the transfer portal hard and bring in three big men who are big bodied, only to double team the post every. Single. Possession??? Doubling Martini down low only to leave the projected 2nd or 3rd pick of the draft wide open to shoot? Makes zero sense.

Saddened to hear about Jack. Hope he’s reunited with his dad. Heartbroken for Jack’s mom, who also lost her husband. Life isn’t easy, but this seems egregiously unfair…

How fast things have changed. After the UCLA game, we all were talking about being worthy of being ranked, making sure we didn’t let Loesner go anywhere because he was our defensive mastermind. A few guys need to take a long look in the mirror. Ok, a lot of guys. I get it, it sucks to be blown out but have some pride. We showed no fight. Purdue made Nebraska look like what we did to Southern.

Why are we risking Brice, down 34+ points and still in????

Didn’t think I’d say this this - we don’t look like we belong on the same court as Purdue

Hate to overstate it, but Rutgers on Thursday just became a much more important win. Need to get our Ju Ju back. Throw this game away.

Rollie and Uhlis have effectively been benched. Brice didn’t come back so he could play PG. Part of the pitch from Fred was that he’d be the featured off guard and they would bring in a PG from the portal. Was really hoping Rollie would’ve been better.

Keeping it within 20 in the first half is a very small baby step

That’s that dudes game. I’ve watched them this season a bit, he loves the one arm push shot within 16’

Who took the dawg out of Juwan?? He seemed way off vs Iowa and it’s carried into today’s game. Rollie, Gary, Uhlis, all seniors and all look disinterested. Hate to sound negative, but they have to come out better than today.

So who would we start at PG instead?? Have to remember fouls and rotations. Maybe we tweak it a bit but I don’t see it being at PG

Yeah, the AG isn’t spending any time on that. They can’t govern how many methods of payout and what type of payouts a private business offers. That’s extreme overreach.

That was rough. Terrible officiating. Terrible free throw shooting. we went up 52-37 with a Williams dunk with 13 minutes left and it’s like we took our foot completely off the gas. I love Juwan but he can’t turn into a foul merchant. He was just throwing things up at the hoop at times. Just a rough game. There was also a time in OT that Brice poked it free and Juwa. Didn’t even run back- just kind of watched. That’s not the dawg I’m used to. Have to recognize on defense much better. Sandfort basically Keisei’d us in the second half. On to Purdue

Has a top 25 team ever not made the big dance? Like, ranked in the top 25 the week of selection Sunday? My guess is no…so I’d like to be ranked by then. Just sayin

Nice. I usually listen to it on the way back home but this time I stopped for some mulberry bbq, and it made me quite happy
