His other offers were Texas A&M, Wake, UAB & Virginia.

He'd look good in red & white.

Wow..so Virginia was the only decent program to recruit him? Purdue is an easy 2nd in those offers. He would've been a ridiculous red-shirt this year for tutelage in Bo's system, and with Frank teaching him the ways of big men? We'd probably have one of our most dominant C's in program history.

Yeah was he from indiana and committed to Purdue early? That's the only reason I see him going to purdue

He's from Alabama.

Wonder how dumb he feels right about now. Nice effort Terps.

Started developing symptoms on Thursday, believed to be from a hit he took in the Purdue game.

Koenig starting

Also, Rutgers' head coach Eddie Jordan seems like a dick. Or a nice-hearted fellow. I can't tell which, especially considering I don't know if he has any sort of relationship with Bo Ryan.

"Great coach in Bo Ryan. He's from (the northeast) so I'm hoping he goes out and has too many beers (Saturday night) and he won't call the plays the right way."

At least give Wisconsin the respect for usually having one too many brewskis on a Saturday night :dontknow:

Rutgers is out of their minds right now. Feed the **** ball to Nigel on the block please.

This team knows they are really good and I think sometimes they play like that's going to be enough to win by default. Rutgers is playing harder and with way more energy.

What a garbage half.

GB_Packers · Post #272 » by **GB_Packers** » Mon Jan 12, 2015 12:45 am

Terrible free throw shooting. And I think this announcer just had an orgasm.

Turk Nowitzki · Post #273 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Mon Jan 12, 2015 12:46 am

This is going to be a really gross loss. Blowing a 12 point halftime lead to Rutgers? Rutgers?!?

GB_Packers · Post #274 » by **GB_Packers** » Mon Jan 12, 2015 12:51 am

Clutch ass Koenig! Wow. No rebound the damn ball on any missed free throws.

Turk Nowitzki · Post #275 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Mon Jan 12, 2015 12:51 am

It's going to be fun when Hayes gets to be the go to guy the next two years. He already should get way more touches on the block.

Turk Nowitzki · Post #276 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Mon Jan 12, 2015 12:52 am

This is also a scary preview of what next year might look like if we don't get Diamond Stone.

GB_Packers · Post #277 » by **GB_Packers** » Mon Jan 12, 2015 12:53 am

Thought that was a three for Koenig. Still a nice shot.

GB_Packers · Post #278 » by **GB_Packers** » Mon Jan 12, 2015 12:54 am

59% free throw shooter. Makes both. Figures

Turk Nowitzki · Post #279 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Mon Jan 12, 2015 12:55 am

**** 59% FT shooter buries two no problem and it looks like everyone on our team is terrified to shoot. What a **** of a performance

GB_Packers · Post #280 » by **GB_Packers** » Mon Jan 12, 2015 12:55 am

Oh well. It'll matter little as soon as the next game. Destroying these guys in the Big Ten tournament will be fun, assuming they even get that far.
