Need this one. Have to get momentum back

 

[RUisB1Gtime]

No moral victories today....as Pat Riley said, there's winning and misery.

 

[bac2therac]

Shock the world!

 

[koleszar]

Jay Young needs to never leave again his work with Ogbole is amazing.

 

[bac2therac]

EO EO EO

 

[BillyC80]

Ace, nice

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers having to work very hard on offense there..amazing shot by J Will

 

[BillyC80]

Derk!

 

[koleszar]

What a horrible shot by Harper.

 

[bac2therac]

JD arrives

10-6

 

[zappaa]

Still no D

 

[koleszar]

Ogbole and Derkack so far doing the scoring. We are going to have to outscore them because Pike still has not gotten them to play D.

 

[scarletknight077]

Atleast staying away from foul
Trouble

 

[bac2therac]

That was pathetic there

Open 3 and just letting them board

 

[BillyC80]

Most of their points have come against Derkack. Luckily he’s hitting treys for us

 

[Mr Magoo]

They were leaving Derkack wide open on the first few possessions and now they can’t. Should make a difference

 

[bac2therac]

Game on pace for 90s or more

 

[Scangg]

Ogbole dishing off the dribble!

 

[bac2therac]

Wont see many fouls called today

 

[BOCA93]

Apparently neither team wants to play defense today

 

[superfan01]

We play no D and have no one inside.

 

[RAC93]

Wont see many fouls called today

I welcome that after the A&M debacle

 

[bmtRUgrad]

Derkack twice already got switched and ended up guarding a big under the basket. Have to clean that up

 

[BillyC80]

Dylan needs to take it inside as soon as he has a slight opening. He seems hesitant so far, and he totally settled on that horrible 3-point try.

 

[80RU]

Wont see many fouls called today

Don’t forget our history playing at Ohio State. We’ll see some BS calls pretty soon.

 

[BigEastPhil]

The answer is “ Alex, what is defending the paint?

 

[RAC93]

Need something on the interior out of Martini today

 

[winfield102]

2 long 2's, 2 bad shot (1 by ace, 1 by Harper), 2 empty possessions trying to go to EO (blocked, TO by Ace).

I don't understand why we're trying to get EO the ball three times in the first 5 minutes.

 

[80RU]

Same mix of impressive play and freshman mistakes we’ve seen this year. I’m betting they will pull it all together today.

 

[BillyC80]

Thornton is tough

 

[Mr Magoo]

Should yank Sommerville for that selfish shot

 

[BillyC80]

Martini!

 

[Mr Magoo]

We can’t keep shooting like this. Need some D

 

[bac2therac]

Z man and D lookin better than our nba stars

 

[scarletknight077]

We’ve got fouls to give at this rate. Why there’s no physicality?

 

[BillyC80]

Damn that bailout foul

 

[Mr Magoo]

Layups on OOB plays are inexcusable

 

[Loyal_2RU]

Should yank Sommerville for that selfish shot

I didn't ever see him pass out

 

[BillyC80]

Finally a move from Dylan
