They suck. We better destroy them.

Halftime right now at Rutgers:

Purdue 59
Rutgers 26

Funny how both Iowa and Purdue get to play warm up games before playing each other.

Would be great to jump on them early and let guys like Ellingson and Wagner get some big minutes so Fran can rest the starters a bit.

This will be the game I hope we get to see more of Williams and Wagner. Williams in his limited minutes during Gessel's foul trouble looked athletic! Excited to see some more.

Good god Rutgers is bad! Lose by 50 at home?!?

 

[PCHawk]

Purdue out rebounded Rutgers 63-23. Wow.

 

[Seth53]

Don't know which University/sports program is in more dire straits.....Rutgers or Illinois. Both are a mess.

Terrible addition to the B1G ...all about TV sets

Seriously. Surely we could have found someone better (which would be basically anyone).

 

[bcl20]

Rutgers hasn't beaten anyone with an RPI higher than 200. That said, this is the stupid game that Iowa would struggle with in the past so while we should win by lots road games in college basketball can be weird.

 

[bcl20]

Purdue was favored by 20. I wonder if we'll be 30 point road favorites.

 

[SpecialKHawk]

They are bad but keep in mind due to 4 injuries they suited up a grand total of 6 scholarship guys tonight.

 

[judzeehawk]

I felt bad for them and couldn't watch Purdue keep their big in and just keep making fun of them.

like to see what Flemming can do as well! Should be a fun good game for us to see what the future will look like!

 

[jjh4hawks01]

They have completely embarrassed themselves in the B1G.

Ah didn't realize that. Will that be the case on Thursday as well?

Starting to feel better about the future with Uhl, Wagner and Baer already stepped up and Christian kinda went unnoticed against Sparty and that is about as high of a compliment that you can give to a true freshman playing in the biggest game of his life thus far at the Breslin center.

Three of the four guys are out for the year with their injuries. There's a chance they get the 4th guy back and if they do they will then have 7 scholarship guys to suit up otherwise 6 like they did against Purdue.

Purdue plays Ohio St on Thursday before coming to IC. I guess this could also be considered a warm up game as well.
