Basketball LIVE THREAD: Rutgers vs. Michigan from MSG

[Plum Street]

Baker-Harper stinkfest

 

[hbbsm713]

So frustrated

 

[BOCA93]

Brick city from geo and Harper

 

[ru-baby]

Why why all behind nba 3 pt line!! Use college line

 

[greenknight]

TERRIBLE if you cannot shoot and have shot for shit look for someone that can make a ****ing shot

 

[FrankZ]

Two of the worst looking 3s you will ever see. I mean horrible

 

[RUboston]

Bad shot selection last two possessions. No need for a three at those points.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

is Harper drunk?

I cannot believe the "fans" here wanting to blame Mulcahy.. or Pike.. with the shooting we are seeing today from everyone

 

[RobotHunter]

Got nothing from Geo and Harper...

 

[Scangg]

Fitting end with Geo and Harper chucking up bad 3's after a no show from them all night. Not sure why Harper was on the floor there in the first place

 

[greenknight]

Game over

 

[rucoe89]

Wow, we couldn't buy a bucket at all. The lack of any real shooting threat finally did us in. This game was winnable. Michigan shooting at 48%. Not sure what we are, but seems like 25%.

 

[bac2therac]

Michigan was handing them the game....they have 3 points in 9 minutes and that a busted 3, they missed a one and one. RU all out of sorts in the end game on offense. Just disappointing

 

[JFK20]

We’ve taken 32 more shots than Michigan. 32. And we’ve only made 3 more than Michigan.

Just unreal. Makes me sad.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

HOOK AND HOLD.. ha! that's the old ball in lieu of a foulc all

 

[RUsince52]

Can't shoot yet, til the bitter end. Unbelievable how many we can miss.

 

[djrc89]

They panicked. Did you see how Purdue managed the last few minutes against us. Quick 2. Quick 2. We’re chucking up ridiculous 3s

 

[mikebal9]

The last 2 minutes look like some Eddie Jordan bullshit. You get behind so you just jack up 3s. Ridiculous. The 2 is there every damn possession.

 

[bac2therac]

Young....63-60

still time...Zavier has to miss one and one

 

[King of S]

Wow, bad reply but we’ll take it.

 

[RutgHoops]

26-81.

We’ve taken 81 shots in a 40 minute game thus far

 

[FrankZ]

Finally geo

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Wow, bad reply but we’ll take it.

orignal ref decision was clearly the ball in lieu of a foul call

 

[motorb54]

How would you like that last second first half rebound?

 

[hbbsm713]

Welcome to the game Geo...

 

[bac2therac]

finally Geo arrives...65-63

now 80% shooter at line...miss you goon

 

[RUsince52]

Our big names came up small, so far. Too bad !

 

[sunsetregret]

I don't want to pretend like I know about this team because I really don't ... but at some point the coach has to take the team aside and say, "Stop shooting 3s. You're shooting yourself right out of this game because you can't make any."

 

[bac2therac]

wow awful there...come on caleb take the shot

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers was out played by a more talented opponent that has shooters that Rutgers lacks.So many shots and so few baskets while Michigan has 12 three pointers.To their credit Rutgers kept fighting right to the end .After 22 games, Rutgers still doesn't have one consistent go to scorer which is essential playing away from the RAC.A game that got away .

 

[RuBird]

Ummmm why the hell did we pass up so many shots!

 

[RUTrack94]

Well ... as we say so many times ... RU didn’t quit, played hard, but lost in the end.

 

[King of S]

Good game but need to win these close ones to be top half team.

 

[bac2therac]

THIS TEAM WILL BE KICKING THEMSELVES FOR LOSING THIS GAME.

 

[hbbsm713]

This game was critical. We play @maryland next. Sigh

 

[ballgame4u]

didn't deserve the w. i love pike but he got out coached today. the lack of defense of adjustment was sicking

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

too little.. too late.. too cute

 

[tfio]

And we don't even give ourselves a chance. Shocker

 

[Goku]

Let’s get revenge on them next game

 

[rucoe89]

Fun game to watch, but we Michigan played more intelligent basketball and make shots and free throws. They were the better team. We likely drop out of the Top 25. I see that as a plus. This team needs to play hungrier.
