Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. No. 3 Michigan

[RU848789]

Damn, if he doesn't hit that trey, it's now a 6 point game

 

[richthedentist]

Point is we can be better than we are on offense. We look like we don't practice it. Of course we are going to suck if the majority of time and talk is aobut how you are a defensive team focused on rebounding. Which btw, we are getting horribly outrebounded.

We need an assistant who knows offense. This is untenable.

All our assistants are point guards including our head coach and we just have no offense

 

[NickKnight 1]

Here we go, look out.

 

[richthedentist]

Damn, if he doesn't hit that trey, it's now a 6 point game

If we make any 3 pointers its a tie game lol

 

[Pancho1939]

If we’re being really Michigan checked out pretty early this game was never close

I love it. We go through a scoring drought we suck. Michigan goes through a scoring drought they checked out.

 

[bac2therac]

Can’t get too upset with a good team checking out 9pm on a Thursday meaningless game that was never really close. Happens as a season ebbs and flows. Something tells me he won’t get on his guys at all

meaningless? lol the big boys are coming, its not a good habit to have...no this one was never in doubt that kind of play will bite them down the line

 

[Joey Bags]

We're gonna give a huge 3 here

Called it

 

[koleszar]

Cliff was outplaying him

Yea ok what does he have 4 whole points 3 rebounds and 3 tips to the other team

 

[PiscatawayMike]

If we could only shoot.. sigh

We did everything we needed to do to win this game except hit shots

 

[fluoxetine]

is it under 25% the last 6 games

Okay? What do you think that means? Why do you think the above average games are flukes and the below average ones are “who we are”?

 

[bac2therac]

get it under 10 please

 

[richthedentist]

JY needs to shoot more 3 pointers

 

[sport2231]

If we could only shoot.. sigh

We did everything we needed to do to win this game except hit shots

When it comes to basketball that’s a pretty big part of the game

 

[bac2therac]

Okay? What do you think that means? Why do you think the above average games are flukes and the below average ones are “who we are”?

I think we moving toward a 25% three point shooting team

 

[Salvi's Headband]

WHY TF foul there. Let them run out the clock and take the 8 point moral victory.

Lol

 

[RUsojo]

8 of 26 from geo and Caleb smfh Pike gives these two the longest leash I’ve ever seen it’s bull sh*t to be honest and why our offense us dropped off significantly as the year has gone on

 

[tfio]

get it under 10 please

Does keeping it under 10 help us for anything? Net ranking?

 

[bac2therac]

sigh..why is Young fouling

 

[mugrat86]

Yes Caleb is bad playing most of his minutes with best players. Montez has been not as bad as McConnell on the year playing the first half of year with those players and the second half of the year without them in a bad slump - and yet still better numbers than Caleb. Geo is right there too.

you know nothing about basketball. His defense and rebounding have been great. It’s not a coincidence that the winning started when they put Caleb in starting lineup

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Ugh that ft barely hit the front of the rim

 

[ScarletKid2008]

Jacob is a freaking baller. Get him more minutes

 

[Salvi's Headband]

oh my god stop fouling.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

People who bet this game just had a heart attack... RU covers the 9-point spread

 

[fluoxetine]

I think we moving toward a 25% three point shooting team

this is absolutely ****ing ridiculous. Why in the world would you cherry pick the last six games instead of just averaging the whole season? Do you have any idea how much variance there is in a sample of 6 ****ing games?

 

[Pancho1939]

All our assistants are point guards including our head coach and we just have no offense

And Mark few didn’t play any position.

 

[richthedentist]

WHY TF foul there. Let them run out the clock and take the 8 point moral victory.

You have money on the game

 

[Rokodesh]

LOL backdoor cover

We don’t exactly have a Bird wasting away on the pine.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

If there’s a silver lining I think JY is starting to get his mojo back. If we have any serious ambitions we can’t do it without major contributions from him.

 

[RUJMM78]

Wagner with a 3 pointer and 20 points for the game.71-64 final score.

 

[fluoxetine]

We made our last two threes. Moving towards being a 100% three point shooting team!

 

[richthedentist]

Well our 3 point shooting went up exponentially with those 2 3 pointers by JY at the end

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Cash in your RU +11 tickets

 

[zebnatto]

Don’t know if this’ll be an easy one for bac to evaluate—a lot to consider.

 

[motorb54]

If we could only shoot.. sigh

We did everything we needed to do to win this game except hit shots

Think of all those first half bunnies we missed. At least three were layups with no defender within reach

 

[RUsojo]

We don’t exactly have a Bird wasting away on the pine.

We hge five players in our rotation who hge a better eff% than Geo and 7 who have a better efg% better than McConnell. Just give up man.

 

[shields]

Beat Maryland. Only thing that counts.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Damn. Hit a few threes and do better at the line, this would have been very different. Oh well. Last 4 games are very winnable. Let's get all 4.

 

[RUBlackout]

Young deserves to start. He should be starting over PM right now. He brings a completely different element to this team.

I also think it would break up the trio of Cliff Mathis and JY where we usually go quiet on offense.

I also think Pike needs to look at Jones or Mag to mix in over the next 4 games and see if they bring anything ahead of NCAAs
