Big 10 Tourney 2nd round game thread: RU-Northwestern

Sweet 16 ... Make it Elite 8 ...

 

[RU Mike73]

We are likely going to lose but at least there are now 20 people in the seats behind our bench. [roll]

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[BillyC80]

Serious comment: I think Corey may need glasses. I notice he often misjudges the position of defenders and passes it to them erroneously.

 

[Scangg]

I wonder if Sanders is actually playing through some sort of injury

 

[RUsince52]

Northwestern seems to dribble faster than we can switch and that's without passing it.

 

[MV9000]

To add insult to injury a lot of our "fouls" have been pretty ticky tacky. I know were getting blown out but really does kill any shot at momentum swings

 

[bac2therac]

we are winning the game in one point increments each tv timeout...down 18, down 17 now down 16

extremely well coached team, it took them the last 3 years to get that way

 

[RUClassof67]

Dadika = fresh legs

That's not why he was put in the game.

I was actually thinking the same thing when he missed the three, as well as watching him try to focus when he's at the line. But my next thought is always, he has access to free eyesore, including contacts, so he'd probably avail himself of that rather than miss shots.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

NW 56% from field, 88% from line. Bad.

 

[RocktheRac]

Sanders game plan with his grandmother was 2 years at Rutgers. IE. Body language.

 

[RUBand]

We miss the shots we can't afford to miss.

Where is he going?

I ended up finding out I needed glasses between sophmore and junior year of HS. Made a HUGE difference in seeing the rim so clearly with contacts in. Ended up hitting 93 3's senior year

We just miss a lot of shots in general. 35% today about par for the course. When the other team's shooting 56% and you're getting out rebounded. Hard to compete.

 

[RUsince52]

Plus everyone handles the ball really well and can create shots when needed.

 

[RU Mike73]

Queue up Dandy Don.

 

[RUinOhio]

announcers are horrible . NW is playing and shooting lights out

 

[Abro1975]

 

[BillyC80]

RaRa, exactly. He seems to have a depth perception problem, which is affecting his outside shooting as well as his passing. Just a hunch that his vision is somehow impaired, but I hope he gets an eye exam in the off-season.

 

[MV9000]

very happy with Thiams progress. Add 15-20 pounds to that kid and we have a gem.

11 min without scoring is not par for the course

do you have any eligiblity left?

You are one strange dude.. Your last 10 posts were about Sanders.. Did he take your girlfriend? Get off his jock already

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Kinda is. Except in other games we do a better job of defending and rebounding to keep it close.

 

[bac2therac]

Is Mister Television at this game?

 

[zbullek21]

I know there are a list of reasons for this result but Gettys does not match up well against this team. He's just too slow to play these athletic bigs. It happened the other games we played against them as well. He can't cover the switch, they're getting wide open under the basket every play. I know we have nobody else and everyone loves the kid, but he's been getting played out defensively all game.

 

[RocktheRac]

Now we have a bunch of eye doctors on the board.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

His form on his free throws needs a lot of work, which is also true of his jumper. He brings his elbow across his body, which is wasted motion and easier to block. Not everyone can shoot with their elbow to their side, especially if they developed wrongly when they were younger, but a free throw is a pretty easy thing to get the right form on. A jumper is a different issue. Then there are some nights when he is dead on, banks shots over guys, so that doesn't suggest it's his eyes.

 

[RU Mike73]

Another 0fer trip to line for Corey

 

[Scangg]

do you have any eligiblity left?

Hahaha I wish but when you see them go on these massive scoring droughts it hurts inside as a shooter

 

[RU Mike73]

Now we have a bunch of eye doctors on the board.

And seat monitors.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

I am convinced that you are bac. You both jump to conclusions and say dickish things from your basement.

 

[BillyC80]

Roc, that's a good idea! Is there an eye doctor in the house?

 

[ColonelRutgers]

First attempt by Williams with 7 minutes left.

 

[Night Man]

Sanders is a "really good looking kid" per Dakich. Don't want to mess that up with glasses, even stylish ones.

 

[bac2therac]

Now we have a bunch of eye doctors on the board.

haha there is always SOME excuseo_O

 

[greenknight]

The only thing holding back Corey Saunders is HIMSELF. He has great talent but his mental immaturity is killing him. His temperament affects his game so much one if the reasons why he is underwhelming at the foul line. If he can get that under control and stay even keeled he will flourish if he doesn't this is what he will be for the rest of his career
