Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Illinois

[fluoxetine]

Man, I can't wait to get into a packed RAC next year. Our players had a hell of a year despite everything going on. Kudos to them and our coaches.

If this shit happened at the RAC I hope that ref wouldn’t make it out of the parking lot

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Interesting that Jaden Jones is in.

 

[motorb54]

Put the reserves in Coach!

 

[RUby RED]

If Myles leaves, Cliff needs to make a MASSIVE jump next year or we’re in serious trouble. Bigs in this league will swallow us alive

 

[FrankZ]

Ayo can fly around the court like that while the play isn’t even over yet egging on the fans, but Paul gets a T? OK.

R not on his chest so nothing to see here

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Put in the Jersey Mike's Subs now please.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Myles can't foul 30 seconds into the game. Think on the court.

yes.. he did commit a stupid foul.. but, really, the refs were gonna call him quickly and often regardless

 

[RobotHunter]

Ilinois really need there starters in still?

 

[Rutgers1010]

Take Montez out, no effort, gave up.

Take Montez out, no effort, gave up.

What?? Pikiel never gave him a chance to try. How was he going to block that dunk? Take a seat

 

[RUJMM78]

Sadly,Illinois will score more than 90 points.

 

[RUBlackout]

I think some of our fans should take a timeout.

 

[MadRU]

Jaden and Mag

 

[bac2therac]

yes.. he did commit a stupid foul.. but, really, the refs were gonna call him quickly and often regardless

All of Myles fouls were fouls tonight

 

[RC80]

please take RHJ out - that's it already SP

 

[shields]

Think Ron just went over 1000 points. Needed 19 points. That is why I think he was still in the game.

 

[RUBlackout]

What?? Pikiel never gave him a chance to try. How was he going to block that dunk? Take a seat

Completely agree...our fans suck and attack our own for no reason.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Pretty sure we won't be a 7-seed.

This is the silver lining. I think we’re going to be a 10 seed instead of 8/9.

 

[greenknight]

JY why are you standing there jumping up and down on an out of control chuck shot watching illinois run down the court WTF

 

[FrankZ]

Only 4 foul differential. Probably will tighten by 2

 

[motorb54]

Myles can't foul 30 seconds into the game. Think on the court.

That foul was Harper's fault.

 

[RUTRINI]

Sadly,Illinois will score more than 90 points.

With a huge assist from the refs 😳

 

[MadRU]

All of Myles fouls were fouls tonight

Yes but Kofi should have been sitting on the bench more also

 

[RU848789]

yes.. he did commit a stupid foul.. but, really, the refs were gonna call him quickly and often regardless

4 of his 5 fouls were legit - that's on him - he played horribly tonight.

 

[Knightmoves]

Thats the spirit!

 

[jtung230]

We lost because we got dominated on the boards. We used to rebound as a team. Now, everyone stands around.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

If Myles leaves, Cliff needs to make a MASSIVE jump next year or we’re in serious trouble. Bigs in this league will swallow us alive

Unless he pulls in a transfer or two we R in big trouble next year.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Thats the spirit!

That’s some straight jersey talk there.

 

[RU848789]

This is the silver lining. I think we’re going to be a 10 seed instead of 8/9.

Sorry, no silver lining after a beatdown like this. Worst game of the year, given the stage. We just sucked in every way tonight.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

39-16 on rebounds. WOW.

 

[shields]

Montez was fine, Geo did nothing and Jacob with too many turnovers.

 

[IL Lusciato]

LoL why do they act like every play is going to be on a poster?

Bunch of hyper little girls. I hope they get smacked tomorrow.

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

Myles has to play smarter, sorry

🤦‍♂️

 

[FrankZ]

This is the silver lining. I think we’re going to be a 10 seed instead of 8/9.

Please

 

[MadRU]

Like Cliff hitting a mid-range jumper

 

[RU Mike73]

If this shit happened at the RAC I hope that ref wouldn’t make it out of the parking lot

Seriously???

 

[ClassOf02]

This might be the longest game ever. Lotta whistles will do that.

 

[robjknight]

That was a travel.

Seems like no matter how many on this Board say that Myles shouldn’t be chasing guards 30 feet from the basket, the coaches don’t listen to us. And now we have Cliff doing the same leaving the other team’s big open under the basket

 

[koleszar]

I think some of our fans should take a timeout.

I think the team needs a long time out. We're bad, but 23 points bad? Eddie Jordan time.

 

[greenknight]

If RU just attacked the basket the whole game they'd have at least 80 on the board. Illinois defense sucks

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Well now I don't have to miss any of the Players CHAMPIONSHIP
