Game Thread RU vs Michigan St, 6:30, BTN TV , story :

[Greene Rice FIG]

Laurent may not see many more minutes with that effort....and Corey that defense in transition :weary:

 

[Rutgers Rah]

At least we're in the bonus! And we are scoring points with a good team, they won't shoot that well from three the entire game. Hopefully we make around 65% from the line to finish the game

 

[ScarletDave]

4-straight missed FTs, and we're down 5. Playing pretty well right now but have to get the free ones on the road. HAVE TO. Nothing else will overcome that. Especially when the other team is a 3-or power.

 

[SpartanJD]

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

I was actually thinking that. Nice dish by guard and instead of going up he dribbles around for a more contested shot

 

[bac2therac]

Pace of the game will be death of Rutgers. ..no way they can outscore theminRon

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers initial scoring spurt has now taken a downward turn with the inside players missing foul shots and shots around the basket.Michigan State 20-15 with 11 minutes to go in the first half.

 

[RU848789]

2-7 from the line

 

[soundcrib]

Take freeman out again

 

[80RU]

Six points we did not get at the foul line in a row. (Including the one and one)

 

[Rutgers Rah]

Take freeman out again

Seriously, kid just can't handle the size in conference. He turns the ball over every time he touches it

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Freeman is beyond useless on offense. He is killing us again.

 

[RU848789]

Is Freeman playing center, lol? Announcers nailed how different it is for him against serious competition vs. cupcakes...

 

[soundcrib]

Please

 

[RUsojo]

Freeman has no offensive game. Like I've said before it won't improve any time soon. Cant even beat a mismatch bigger or smaller.

 

[RU Mike73]

Freeman is a disaster

 

[Rutgers Rah]

GET FREEMAN OUT

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Freeman is a HUGE liability out there

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Freeman: 2 charges, 3 other turnovers, and missed front end of 1 and 1. God awful.

 

[shields]

Get Freeman out.

 

[80RU]

Six points we did not get at the foul line in a row. (Including the one and one)

Make that eight

 

[Unionst]

Freeman stops the ball like he's Carmelo.

 

[bac2therac]

2-8 free throws. ...embarrassment

 

[Caliknight]

Foul shooting is worse than Freeman's play.

 

[RU848789]

2-8 from the line is inexcusable - should be up 2-3

 

[80RU]

2-8 free throws. ...embarrassment

Considering the front ends it's like two of 10.

 

[BillyC80]

We're losing this game at the foul line so far.

 

[RUJMM78]

Atrocious foul shooting by Rutgers inside post players.Michigan State 23-17.

 

[BillyC80]

Michigan State has mastered the art of the flop.

 

[bac2therac]

We need bigger guards and bigs 50lbs heavier

 

[Abro1975]

25-17 MSU, 8 min left in half

 

[shields]

Make foul shots.

 

[bac2therac]

18-4 run...27-17

 

[mikemarc1]

Too tough to watch, again. Playing hard, Just need better players.

 

[MusicFreaks]

Just hit your f-Ing free throws

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Diallo needs to take Doorson's minutes. Much better.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Six straight misses from the free-throw line including two front ends of one-and-ones...ugh

 

[MusicFreaks]

Bigs have no clue what to do once they get the ball inside. Have size but no moves to create shot

 

[Rutgers Rah]

Great play by Corey to hit the first part of the and 1. Please for the love of god make the foul shot after this under eight timeout. 30-21 Michigan State.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Corey's D tonight is downright embarrassing. I think I can take him off the dribble.....with my off hand!

 

[SJScarlet]

We are playing very well, but MSU are just playing great and making foul shots while we are missing.
