Basketball LIVE GAME THREAD: No. 24/25 Rutgers vs. No. 19 Iowa

[RUsojo]

we’re gonna have a long list of questions when we submit post game report to the conference

 

[ScarletteK80]

Sigh.

 

[soundcrib]

Refs have swallowed the whistle (and Garza) on our end.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Garza is f-ing killing us.

 

[richthedentist]

Also sorry BAC this one is on the refs we are getting mauled and nothing called they are going to shoot 30 foul shots before this game is over

 

[RUby RED]

Want someone to punch Garza square in the face so I can live vicariously through them

 

[Mr Magoo]

People blaming the refs but we are making some really stupid plays out there.

 

[RUsince52]

Garza is sure smooth with an array of shots.

 

[RUsojo]

did the refs cause Young to travel...see things like that screw RU up..now a 5 pt swing as they get a 3 from Garza

got to get composure on offense

That wasn’t a travel lol

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

Doesn’t look good here folks.

 

[FrankZ]

Why watch if that’s how they are going to officiate

On mute now. Close to a channel change.

 

[RUScrew85]

That Garza guy is a dick.

 

[Rutgers25]

Have to admit, Garza is big time. Makes everything.

 

[RUChoppin]

Willful blindness from some of our posters about the impact of the massive officiating changes since halftime.

 

[richthedentist]

Young having poor game.

and so is Mulcahy and Geo with 0 also

 

[BOCA93]

Guess Fran’s temper tantrum was worth it. 9 fouls in 7 mins. 15 pt swing

 

[Machiavelli23]

I am really hating that Garza guy

 

[bac2therac]

24-18 rebounding...big

RU 5-9 at line
Iowa 7-11 at line

 

[RUz91]

garza is their entire team. without him they are absolute trash

 

[richthedentist]

Have to admit, Garza is big time. Makes everything.

Gets every call also

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

On mute now. Close to a channel change.

We are failing this test. May recover and pass. Disappointing because we were up at the half.

 

[BillyC80]

We need to slow it down. Giving Iowa too many possessions and they have the best player who’s having the game of his life. They might pin a hundy on us.

 

[JayRU09]

I swear when Harper got the ball on that break away that he got straight up slapped in the face and no foul was called. What is wrong with these refs.

 

[ScarletDave]

Teams went tick-for-tat and we found a way to push it up, RU up 8 - the refs stepped in - Iowa up 8 and now it’s over as well go tick-for-tat again

 

[QD43]

People blaming the refs but we are making some really stupid plays out there.

"Stupid plays" are a result of repeatedly getting mugged and not getting a single call. It changes the way you play the game because it's not basketball anymore.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

We don’t win games like this.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Game getting away from us. Refs overzealous in Iowa s favor. Second unit not bringing it. Kwasi has cooled off.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

We are failing this test. May recover and pass. Disappointing because we were up at the half.

We were up 8 in the second half. Dammit.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

RU needs Geo in the game right now. Young is no factor with the way the game is being played and Mulcahy is no factor period.

 

[bac2therac]

we definitely miss Geo this game, without question..that he is not playing is a concern to me....because it looks like we rushed him back

 

[RocktheRac]

Fing refs won't let us win the rebounds

 

[brad1218]

First game of the year that the refs have cost us the game. I mean even the announcer said it. Harper got mugged on the last drive. They are calling everything on us.

 

[BOCA93]

It’s insane how much better Garza is from last year. This kid doesn’t miss. He’s a matchup nightmare. Inside outside

 

[RU848789]

Yes, a couple of questionable calls, but Iowa is just playing better than us right now. Need to right the ship, especially defensively.

 

[koleszar]

People blaming the refs but we are making some really stupid plays out there.

Pretty tough to stay focused when everything you did in the 1st half wasn't a foul now all of a sudden it is in the 2nd. Get's pretty frustrating.

 

[Mr Magoo]

garza is their entire team. without him they are absolute trash

Weiskamp is very good

 

[RocktheRac]

We are missing our free throws...fin refs

 

[RUJMM78]

Garza now has 28 points.Yeboah hasn't scored in second half.Iowa leads 67-59

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

Game getting away from us. Refs overzealous in Iowa s favor. Second unit not bringing it. Kwasi has cooled off.

Yep. Knew we couldn’t sustain the offensive pace.

 

[greenknight]

Getting our asses kicked 1st 10 minutes
