GAME THREAD - RU MBB v Penn ST , 2:30p, ESPNU, story :

[Abro1975]

44-29, Crowd will start leaving now.

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

Unwatchable

 

[Rutgers25]

Freeman is MAAC

MUST.....RECRUIT....BIGGER....GUARDS

Our guards are plenty big. They can't shoot!!! they also play with no composure or savyness

 

[RUfromNJ]

Thought football season was over. Humiliating.

 

[rucoe89]

Wow - back to Eddie Jordan basketball. Lazy, uninspired and mental stupidity.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

If Sanders is hurting, he needs to sit. He's a mess right now.

Most teams in this conference have 6'3+ guards on their roster. We don't. No matter how athletic Corey is, and regardless of his injury, this is a B1G issue and will continue to be so until it changes.

 

[FrankZ]

Well alrighty then. Back to counting days until Mets baseball.

 

[Pritz99]

FWIW -- when PSU got by Freeman, CJ did nothing (except tap him on the head.) Should have blocked way to basket.

 

[chrisru99]

Laying an egg at home. Temper your expectations please.

 

[bac2therac]

Jordanesque......the schedule fooled everyone. ..pathetic performance thus far with a crowd who gave up their new years for this non effort

 

[biazza38]

:(

 

[Abro1975]

47-29 lol

 

[soundcrib]

Sanders refuses to shoot a jump shot

 

[greenknight]

Ok it's official they suck. Nobody can score in the blocks, nobody can shoot, their defense is terrible and they pass the ball worse than my daughters 5th grade travel team.....They SUCK

 

[PatrickRU92]

 

[Caliknight]

Sanders in the NBA is lol material.

 

[tico brown]

Jeezus. Went from a 5 point deficit to 18 in less than 5 minutes.

 

[SirPerceval]

Blown opportunity to generate some excitement - hope we get at least two conference wins this year.

 

[greenknight]

The only thing they can do right us rebound but have zero chance of making a put back so even that is squandered

 

[richthedentist]

Why is Doorson in and not Diallo he brings nothing!!

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Freeman is MAAC


Our guards are plenty big. They can't shoot!!! they also play with no composure or savyness

lol NO, they're not...especially for B1G play

 

[bac2therac]

And yeah the game was lost in the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half...a continuation and non chalant of the first

Its a big stinky egg with no effort and thats the most disappointing

 

[RUinSC]

Gotta say I'm confused. Not playing the style that has made us competitive this year.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Neither of these teams is good enough to put the other away. We are capable of going on a 12-0 run, just as we are capable of letting PSU do the same.

Well I got half of this right.

 

[Abro1975]

At least the lady knighs beat psu

 

[pmvon]

They look like 5 guys who just met today to.play basketball. They look hungover

 

[RutgersJoe]

And this is without PSU's leading scorer???

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

This team could go 0-18

And this was supposed to be a favorable matchup

 

[Rutgers25]

Sanders in the NBA is lol material.

He's not D league material. Our supposed best player is a guard who doesn't shoot from outside 8ft

 

[Pritz99]

Size of guards have nothing to do with it. Thye just aren't prepared to play. Here's our first WTF loss. Guess they just expected to win by walking out there.

Can't hit an open shot. How many bricks? And now they don't even want to play defense. It may be time to watch Star Trek repeats.

 

[Abro1975]

psu played the 23 hardest schedule so far,
RU the 323

 

[hoochie302]

We don't have anybody who can drive.... Or shoot....... Or rebound

 

[RuWishBone]

new year same story no toughness we get puked on again

 

[RutgersRaRa]

And this is without PSU's leading scorer???

And without their starting center.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

I can't figure out why we were favored by 3.

 

[Mr Magoo]

I can't figure out why we were favored by 3.

We've see the last of the games we will favored.

I didn't say we're playing like shit because of the size of our guards, however, it IS one of the problems.

A "WTF" loss? Nope, not from my standpoint, couldn't understand why many here were calling this a "must win" either.

 

[RUsince52]

And this was supposed to be a favorable matchup

It ended up that way, for them. Next !

DING DING DING!!!!

 

[scarlet night]

Dear God....this is not helping my hangover, painful
