Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers 🏀 vs. Indiana

[mildone]

I know he’s missed some, but if Harper gets into rhythm, I like our chances. The last couple 3s weren’t pretty, with a miss and a rim job. But he shot them in rhythm and with confidence. A really good sign.

Let's see how Young and Mathis react

 

[RUby RED]

Pike pressed the right buttons today

 

[rubjk]

Wonder where the Pike sucks, we have no offense and we don’t have the talent crowd is?

Let's see how Young and Mathis react

Yup, these next few minutes for them will tell us a lot.

 

[zebnatto]

IU four for five from three and we’re up six.

He looks smooth and is just slightly off. Lot of time that's arc or snap

 

[Mr Magoo]

This is the most I’ve enjoyed watching them since the first half vs Iowa. Let’s keep it up.

 

[bac2therac]

The key is what happens when the subs come in. Can Mathis and Jacob buy in to teamball

 

[phlop87]

Like the longer runs for the starters. Gives everyone a chance to get in the flow. Can’t wait to see you gout on the floor as a spark plug of the bench.

 

[RUBlackout]

Let’s ****ing go!!!! I feel the energy today

switching up our defenses...moving the ball around...going inside...taking it to the basket

This is the basketball I watched the first 8 games

 

[RUsojo]

Running the floor and Taking early open looks biggest difference so far. Interior D very good. Perimeter not so much.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

9-14 shooting 2-5 from 3, 7-9 from 2 is a good start.

 

[zebnatto]

He has to keep t@king those shots.

Too much rotation has been the issue.

young at least gets assists. Jury is out on Mathis

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Up 6 before Young and Mathis came in

 

[Night Man]

Mathis looks engaged on defense, good. Good foul by Cliff

 

[RUJMM78]

Defending the 3 point shot will be key along with getting points inside on dunks.

 

[Mr Magoo]

The old Baker

 

[phlop87]

Nice drive by geo.

 

[RUsojo]

Wow Paul looking good on O.

Tez D’ing up

 

[Night Man]

Did Geo just use his left?

 

[RuBird]

Ummmm was that Shades of last year Geo. Great move!

 

[RU Mike73]

Wonder where the Pike sucks, we have no offense and we don’t have the talent crowd is?

They're here, just waiting to pounce.

 

[zebnatto]

Can only use Cliff in short spurts.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Cliff is struggling guarding Davis

 

[B0ski]

Refs call automatic fouls on our bigs

 

[RUsojo]

Up 6 before Young and Mathis came in

Back Myles back.

LOVE how Harper hasn’t come out of the game

 

[Mr Magoo]

Don’t know why they leave Davis

 

[shields]

mathis first turnover.

 

[RUsojo]

Tez had the lane god damn

 

[mildone]

Moving pick should’ve been called. But RU needs to step out more on picks.

 

[rtabachk]

Omoruyi need to be a little more spatially aware but otherwise the swag is back. McConnell instead of Mathis was a big difference.

 

[RUsojo]

Paul c’mon get out on him

 

[Mr Magoo]

Different team with young and Mathis right now

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Phantom call on myles

 

[BOCA93]

Jackson Davis gets away with that moving screen way too often. And then MJ does the same thing and gets called

 

[RU Mike73]

Bardo thoughts on MJ foul, "I'm just going to swallow the mic on that one."

 

[RUBlackout]

Just go 2-3 zone when Cliff is in...

also watching their pick and roll and most teams have so much success against us..let’s limit that
