Upstream Red Team!

 

[ScarletDave]

Let's go! I want to see the DeShawn Freeman we know from earlier in the season - effort and rebounding, no dribble drive & turnover. And CJ makes some hook shots and fights for rebounds ... do that and I'll be happy.

 

[Rutgers Rah]

College basketball is a funny game man

 

[Upstream]

1.5 minutes in, but great start.

 

[Caliknight]

Ummm, who are these guys in the red uniforms?

 

[RU848789]

Nix the shutout...

 

[RUsojo]

No dribble hand-offs to start this one....

 

[SpartanJD]

Students still on break for MSU not going to be hostile crowd

 

[soundcrib]

Take care of the ball!

 

[Caliknight]

How is that a foul on CJ? He is just standing their and the guy pushes off.

 

[RU848789]

Gotta get into better defensive position after a made FT

 

[Rutgers Rah]

COREY MADE A THREE LETS GO

was clearly a foul on CJ on the shot

 

[soundcrib]

3 pointers. The great equalizer.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Eugene!?!

 

[RUsojo]

Literally doing everything Ive said to do the first 5 minutes of this one. Not to brag. Lets go boys

 

[RUJMM78]

13-11 Rutgers after 5 minutes.Sanders with 7 points and Johnson 4 points.

 

[Upstream]

Is it me, or does Izzo look like an angry leprechaun

 

[SJScarlet]

I think sanders is still tentative on his ankle, but he is gutting it out. He got beat to a loose ball which wouldn't normally happen

 

[RU848789]

If Sanders could get back to last year's 32% from downtown (vs. this year's 13% before this game), we'd be much more competitive.

 

[ScarletDave]

Difference: we're making shots. MSU 3? Threes already.

 

[Caliknight]

was clearly a foul on CJ on the shot

Watched it again and didn't see it. CJ goes up straight, their guy pushes off with his free hand. Bad call. Was a foul on the offensive player.

 

[soundcrib]

Freeman is a terrible defender

 

[RU848789]

Gettys bricks two, then Doorson bricks 2 - just can't do that.

 

[soundcrib]

Please take freeman out

 

[RU848789]

Sorry, you're wrong - ref agrees with me too

 

[Rutgers Rah]

We're going to be in the bonus soon, too bad we can't make free throws

 

[Caliknight]

Sorry, you're wrong - ref agrees with me too

Cause you know, refs are always right.

 

[Caliknight]

Watching other teams with shooters makes me so envious.

 

[RU848789]

Need a TO here

 

[mikemarc1]

Our big men are so unathletic....ugh.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Just once, I'd like to see Sa not put the ball on the floor in the paint.

 

[Caliknight]

Our bigs anywhere near the rim outside of Getty's are so spastic.

 

[shields]

Sa get into the game please!

 

[soundcrib]

Sa should've went straight up as soon as he caught that ball.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Holy ****, how many wide open 3's can we give a team. This one might get ugly if we dont learn how to defend the 3 ball. Weve given up open 3's all year its just the shit teams we played early couldnt hit them. That is something that hasnt changed from the previous staff

 

[Abro1975]

20-15 MSU w 12 min left in half

 

[Unionst]

Laurent looks lost, no D.

 

[RU Mike73]

You would think just based on statistics we could get shot to drop occasionally. Guess it would help if it was close to rim or cylinder.
