Rutgers & NJ @ Heart
Just read box score.

Give me a break. We played 8 guys for 3 freaking OT's / T H R E E (3) of them didn't score (if it wasn't for fouling, Goode wouldn't have shown up at all). What happened to DJ tonight was he hurt? Lewis's Rebourds= HEART....must have played like a beast. Only 5 players scored.....amazing. How tired were they, how much does it hurt to come this close and

These guys deserve our support: THEY'VE GOT MINE!

I'm going to watch this one. I'm going to agonize over what could have been BUT CELEBRATE what the team accomplished.

EJ will be coming back. So will Doorson. So will Diallo. So will Freeman.

There is some talent coming in....put that on the court with Corey/ let him do his thing. 12 assists, 39 points, close to a triple double.

This IS a moral victory for RU, Eddie / team (they didn't give up).

Prediction: we WIN a game or two this season.

Games like this really should calm down the pitchfork crowd. Many problems and questions remain, and EJ may indeed be replaced, but at least the building is no longer on fire. That is something, I guess.
 
Just got home, gut wrenching loss. Corey was great and Laurent can play too. Missed one or two too many foul shots.
 
These guys are doing an admirable job of keeping their heads up during a very trying season. There's certainly something to be said for that.
 
Your whole goal is to pick a fight, you freaking crazy codger.

Tremendous effort, lot of guts but end result is the same. We have three realistic chances for wins and squandered one. Should we be happy?
Negatoid number one present and accounted for.
 
obviously would have loved a win, but good to see an entertaining game at the RAC again and see the place come alive
 
Corey needed to make foul shot but was tremendous. And once it went to overtime thought we would lose.
 
Corey and Jonathan Laurent were outstanding and both are freshman. Foreman and Daniels both played poor games. Foreman made 3 nice drives and each time didn't finish. Daniels also didn't score and had a couple terrible passes that resulted in layups on the other end. I feel very bad for our kids getting nothing to show for their effort again. They are still fighting hard. I hope they can pull out a win or two yet.
 
Agree with the OP. Some things moving in the right direction. But lets also keep in mind who the other team was. We still need to fix the big man issues against those big giant other top 10 Big Teams and not sure we have that figured out yet. BUT I very much enjoy what we have in the 2 frosh and where Williams is going!

So no..I was giving up but there is a flicker in the fireplace. Or better yet since this is Jersey..'just when you think you are out they pull you back in" lol

Does that include supporting Justin Goode who you ripped apart in a previous post?

Yes...I support his leaving the team immediately after the season ends.

Seriously, I've got nothing against the kid, but he can't play at this level. We'd be better off with the equipment manager...
and I didn't rip HIM.

I stated what I saw : what game R U watching?

did a Illinois player call for a timeout near the end of regulation in front of the RU bench when they had none left. It looked like it to me.

I never said anything about his ability. I just found it odd that you asked for unconditional support immediately after doing the opposite. And you're right it's obvious to anyone who watches that he can't contribute now, just don't think it's right to publicly encourage a kid to leave the University.

Swain, hate to say this, but you're part right...and part wrong. I am asking for RU fans / alums to SUPPORT THIS TEAM so I see your point.

However, I just don't consider Goode as part of the team. He's a place holder.
He tries...I watched the game list night / thought he was a related to Claude Rains: he's invisible.

Sorry to be saying this...but he doesn't belong.

If we can't find a 4 year candidate, then give to a big grad transfer...or hold it till it becomes worthwhile.

Not sure but he clearly walked. Refs missed 4-5 Illinois walks and called us for a number.
