Game Thread: RU vs Minn 6pm BTN TV, story :

It’s like you all are watching your first college basketball game. Fouls - and bad calls - are a part of it EVERY game. Working through it is what good teams learn to do. We need to get there.

 

[RU-ROCS]

Refs are horrible. We weren’t winning this game anyway, but we’re certainly not getting a fair whistle!

 

[BillyC80]

The bad calls are going both ways. These refs must have blown about 15 fouls (called and not called) so far.

Please let me know when was the last time RU got a favorable whistle in the Big10. Hint: (the answer rhymes with lever)

 

[RU848789]

two of the worst passes ever, christ...

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

everytime we start getting any momentum we have some bonehead turnover

You earn your luck. It’s tiresome to bitch about it every game. I like this team and how hard they fight.

 

[BillyC80]

What's with the unforced turnovers? Corey has to be beyond that by now.

 

[bac2therac]

ugh the turnovers have killed us

this is the difference between playing Bumblebee State at home and playing a top 20 team on the road. The increased pace is something we need to adjust to...turnovers and fouls until we do

You must be kidding. Quite a few, including the phantom call on the UM steal on Souf.

 

[Caliknight]

This team plays hard, plays together, and cares. They are getting the most out of what they have. At the end of the day, they just can't shoot well or score the ball. Like always, until they can, they are going to have trouble beating teams with as much or more talent.

Gotta respect their effort though. It's a fantastic thing to have instilled in a program.

 

[bac2therac]

Murphy of Minnesota is a b****. As I said earlier in the thread he over acts and he sells it so well to the officials. They fall for it every time.

and thats what makes him such a good player...this is what you want to do

 

[RU848789]

Playing some better D, down 8 with the ball, c'mon...

 

[BillyC80]

Wow, great defense, especially Geo!

 

[BillyC80]

No charge there? How about a make-up call ref?

Triple ditto.

 

[RU-ROCS]

Pike needs to get a TO and tell Corey and the team that they can’t run and gun with MN. These quick shots are not a recipe for victory.

 

[bac2therac]

RU is 7-12 this half I think

 

[nealbo1]

Good looks last couple times down the floor - have to sink a few of those to give ourselves a chance. Remarkable this is still a fairly close game . . .

 

[RU-ROCS]

You must be kidding. Quite a few, including the phantom call on the UM steal on Souf.

Of course we get calls. I’m talking about on balance for an entire game.

 

[mikemarc1]

Team plays so hard and tough. That’s coaching!

We just need better offensively players and this team is tourney bound.

 

[BillyC80]

Gotta take better care of the ball.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

And a half court game would be better? Don't think so.

 

[newell138]

At least they are watchable, it’s been a long time since I was able to say that

 

[bac2therac]

Sa hasnt played?

 

[RUJMM78]

Both teams are shooting bricks. Minnesota 58 Rutgers 48.

 

[bac2therac]

And a half court game would be better? Don't think so.

no but against a team that likes to run, when we miss quick shots, we pay for it big time

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Can't believe Mensah's still in there after the timeout. We don't score with him in the game.

 

[newell138]

Lots of missed layups

 

[Abro1975]

sanders 4-14
Baker 1-6

Need better players. Bottom line. Some are coming.

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

corey more worried about getting a whistle than finishing the drive everytime

 

[BillyC80]

Doucore with a nice game tonight.

 

[RUJMM78]

Decoure Rutgers best player tonight.

 

[nealbo1]

Decoure Rutgers best player tonight.

Omoruyi without a doubt

 

[BillyC80]

Mamadou!

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Doucoure is not afraid.

 

[bac2therac]

the crowd has been a total non factor. Doucore great shot there...keep chopping and who knows

 

[RU-ROCS]

Decoure is the real deal!

 

[BillyC80]

Back down to 8.
