Arella with 12 pts, and Cryor with 9 assists.

CC also has 5 TO’s - sometime she needs to slow down a bit and let the game come to her.

 

[RUTrack94]

You make it sound line they were up 15 the whole game. It was 1 at the half and pretty close most of the game. Big lead for any RU BBall team is 15+ lol.

Go women!! Great Knight for RU basketball .

 

[RUTrack94]

The ranking ... is in RU’s grasp!!!!

I don’t care much about rankings, but I like the idea of staying undefeated in conference.

 

[ScarletDave]

Girls are disinterested this quarter, can't hardly blame them. Get it together and win it and get outta there.

 

[ScarletDave]

I don’t care much about rankings, but I like the idea of staying undefeated in conference.

Agree with this. Rankings are nice and all but RU is always shafted by media /coaches/committees so let's just keep winning. I don't care if by 1 or 20 just get the W

 

[Abro1975]

RU survives a sloppy turnover filled 4th qtr and holds on to win
70-60

 

[ScarletteK80]

They looked like they were taking naps on and off. CC had 12 assists and 2 pts

 

[MADHAT1]

RU 71-Illi 60
1st quarter 28-11 was a major factor.
4th had Illinois scoring 19 to Rutgers 13.
But great win

23-0 run certainly helped. Glad the ladies bounced back after a couple lousy possessions to start. This is a good team. Announcers said we had at least 8 scorers tonight

 

[APKnight]

A 10 point win on the road in the Big 10? I’ll gladly take it. Congrats ladies.

 

[Colerr]

Anyone know where Calhoun is?

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Nice to see the team continue to roll!

 

[RU MAN]

Keep winning ladies and rankings and seedings will take care of themselves. Nice road win.
