My thoughts are below, but here’s a link to Aaron’s recap too.
They weren’t out-hustled, they were out talented: Purdue has the kind of squad that can go to the Final Four and they were on tonight. They have two very good big men, who are both over 7 feet tall and mobile. They draw fouls, the can score and they can defend. Plus everyone of their guards makes threes. Rutgers came out playing hard, but Purdue was making all their shots. Rutgers isn’t offensively talented enough to keep up.
They almost got back in it but youthful emotions took over.
