GAME 30 MINNESOTA: AS OF NOW RU STILL IN BUT NCAA TOURNAMENT BID IN JEOPARDY

Token pressure to make them pick the ball up.
This. All you have to do is fake coming to the ball and make them pick it up

That said, Caleb played excellent defense stuffing penetration and making his man pick up his dribble. Cam has no business leaving his man when only a 3 can beat us, especially since it was the one person we didn't want shooting

Against our 20 opponents in the barttorvik Top 100...

RU has averaged:
62.7 pts, .409 FG, .307 3P, .706 FT

Opponents have averaged:
62.1 pts, .402 FG, .336 3P, .700 FT

About as razor thin a margin as you can get.

I was never comfortable that Rutgers would win.Every time Rutgers got a double digit lead Minnesota would make a couple 3 pointers to narrow the lead.All season long against league rivals Rutgers has experienced great difficulty sustaining and expanding leads.The end result has been so many games decided by five or less points.In this game Rutgers had a eight point lead with a minute remaining .Minnesota won because they made three pointers while Rutgers committed turnovers, missed foul shots and put no pressure on the last play in bound pass.Such a woeful performance at crunch time with experienced players on the court.Rutgers has been a over achieving team with minimal talent on offense.In hindsight a 10-9 B1G Ten record should have been expected or maybe even worse.
