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

[RU848789]

Really thought we were going to win this one. The gang that couldn't shoot straight.

 

[BobRC72]

Team has no one to turn to who can lead a comeback.

It will be a miracle if we win 1 B1G game. Our offense is unwatchable

 

[G- RUnit]

Rutgers Scarlet Knights in bold letters looks very cool... like the Birthplace of College Football used to look until Julie ruined the one thing that made us unique.

 

[RuWishBone]

game over towel on ring

 

[Caliknight]

Johnson has no basketball IQ.

The whole team is basketball retarded.

 

[rutgers333]

They really have no talent on this team

 

[Mr Magoo]

Our shooting percentage would be the same if we played blindfolded.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

This team is B-A-D

 

[Degaz-RU]

I can't even watch this anymore. It's too painful.

 

[rucoe89]

We are a solid lower rung MEAC team.

 

[Caliknight]

Dreadful second half. This team is almost as bad on offense as the football team

Throw in our women's team and it is an RU thing.

Go see our men's lax squad to cleanse the soul. They put up serious offensive numbers. It's very refreshing.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Our guys don't even look pissed off when things go wrong or when we're getting our asses kicked. I would love to see someone go off or just yell FVCK or some outburst. I fvcking HATED losing so much and I don't understand not using your hatred of losing to cause you to get mad once in a while. When we turn the ball over with a horrible pass we just turn up court and get back on D. Someone has to get fvcking pissed to inspire the team to play with intensity.

 

[bac2therac]

Northwestern gave a C- effort and Rutgers played great D and still is down 10...the offense is bad..the same thing will play out all the time

 

[RU848789]

36-16 since we were up 28-19.

 

[Rutgers25]

It's all about being brick layers...it makes them play dumber because everybody is scared to shoot that they all look for the perfect shot

 

[Caliknight]

I can't even watch this anymore. It's too painful.

I guess we have to watch, but I have no idea why I do.

 

[G- RUnit]

Hey Williams scored!! Woo hoo!

 

[Mr Magoo]

2-3 players have to transfer out and we need to replace them with real players.

 

[bac2therac]

Really thought we were going to win this one. The gang that couldn't shoot straight.

..signs were there in the firat haf that it was fools gold

 

[rucoe89]

How is a Rivals 4 star guard a 4 star if they can't shoot the basketball from outside the paint? Isn't being able to shoot a fundamental skill to get a star?

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Hey Williams scored!! Woo hoo!

He's been sick all week so I give him slack.

 

[biazza38]

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.

I love posts like this. Who should we sub in? Do you honestly believe that coach doesn't say anything to them at the half

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers needs 12 new players....we are not close..reality check optimists

 

[biazza38]

This team is B-A-D

So, you're going back on the possibility of us making the tourney?

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Rutgers needs 12 new players....we are not close..reality check optimists

We need four new players.

 

[G- RUnit]

He's been sick all week so I give him slack.

Last week? Last two years. Recruited to be a shooter and We get dozens of posts ripping CJ.

 

[bigmatt718]

Can we recruit over some players on this team and convince them to transfer out after the season is over?

 

[RU848789]

As challenged as we are, I love our effort most of the time...

 

[bac2therac]

We need four new players.

Only 1 player would start or even play significantl minutes on another league team..we have complimentary players all around

 

[RUonBrain]

Another Corey clank from the FT line

 

[RUonBrain]

Williams, way to foul with 11 on the shot clock up near the scorer's table

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

So, you're going back on the possibility of us making the tourney?

Never said that. I layed out a path, guy.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Last week? Last two years. Recruited to be a shooter and We get dozens of posts ripping CJ.

I don't rip anyone no matter what, and I'm just saying that he has been sick this week. Our team is terrible, but we need players and let's hope that the post-Rice Jordan disaster will be turned around with Pikiell's recruiting and coaching.

 

[RUonBrain]

Nigel - brick from 3, and make no effort to get the long rebound.
Would have cut it to 4

 

[Mr Magoo]

The stars are really going to have to line up for us to win another game.

 

[Caliknight]

It's amazing how poorl our athletic talent is across the board.

 

[biazza38]

Never said that. I layed out a path, guy.

Laying out a path is basically insinuating there's a possibility. How is laying out a path not to same as saying there's a possibility? Just admit it was a stupid post.

 

[RUonBrain]

At least they didn't totally give up.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Nigel - brick from 3, and make no effort to get the long rebound.

The miss didn't bother me as much as not following it up. Fvck.

 

[RuWishBone]

we need a gimmick
