GAME THREAD: RU MBB v NORTHWESTERN, 9p RAC, ESPNU, story :

Well, I love the way we're playing right now and a few free throws and a couple breaks, we should be up 10-12. I'd say we win this one but I don't want to jinx. Too early...
 
Ive never seen someone get more layups blocked than nigel johnson. That dude just continues to get his drives swatted. Its frustrating to watch

Sanders fouls the NW guy as half expiring, lol, NW goes to the line w 0 time on the clock. Last 2 min of the half Sanders has 4 turnovers, 2 air balls and 2 fouls.
 
Defense great and northwestern cold but adjustments will be made by Collins and our offense has been too freewheeling. ...lead down to 28-25
 
Love rooting for RU. But this is infuriating. Piss away a 9 point lead with absolutely sh!tty out of control play. Unreal. Johnson and Sanders must be disciplined or SIT.

The problem is there are few other options at guard other than Williams.

Corey drives me crazy trying to "run to the endzone" with 5 guys under the basket and force a horrible shot. He'd make a great wide receiver

love Steve but why he continues to let these two go wild and ruin the flow end of halves just baffles me. Not even a stern look or in your face moment. THAT's how you continue to lose games you can win.

these two give us the best chance to win. who do you think should replace them? we lose because we can't score and these two (and williams) are really the only people that can create their own shot
 
no half court offense, no 44 on NW is a cheap player throwin elbows just below the ribs and flopping guess Duke passed on him
 
Still feel we could win this game, I felt we had a horrible half so far except for the effort, maybe second half we get a little hot
 
McIntosh has done absolutely nothing which is bad news only up three .

CJ missed his two token chippies early

Nigel out of control ,Sanders with bad stretch but when he came out offense had few terrible possessions in a row.

Williams with just one attempt .Have to get him in the corner. They came back playing zone last five mins of half.

if creating your own shot is doing what they did last 3 mins..anyone can do that. I want the guard play from the first 17mins. Under control and in the flow of the game. Nobody is saying they shouldn't be the focus of the Offense.
 
Am I watching ESPNU or "The Northwestern Channel"?

Is it me? Seems the entire broadcast is all about what Northwestern is doing.

Someone posted above that Rutgers is winning 28-25. But according to the ESPNU halftime report, Northwestern is trailing 25-28. If you just turned on the T.V., you wouldn't even know who Northwestern was playing
 
Must be weird for teams that haven't played at the Rac before. Our opponents have shiney facilities and we have a glorified high school court. It can be an advantage.
 
Bigs missed chip pies early and Little's out of control late. Yet we still have 3 point lead. Let's go boys. We win this !!!!
