Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops versus Ohio State

[Scangg]

Caleb and Mulcahy bringing intensity and good body language this game

 

[richthedentist]

Its now 14-5 in fouls against us come on already

 

[Rokodesh]

Lets hope Baker doesnt come back next year

Let's hope you don't come back next game

 

[RU#1fan]

If we were a stock we'd be Enron.

we’ll be lucky to be in the Top 50.

 

[RocktheRac]

Reiber should go back to the 1980s band where he came from. Doesn;t belong on the court

 

[richthedentist]

I guess Pikell gave up on Myles at least let him foul out we have absolutely no big man on the court

Caleb and Mulcahy bringing intensity and good body language this game

I’d leave them in till the end. Two most energetic players for us.

We foul too much.

Someone needs to start a fight.

You really need to give up this crusade. We are slow, a step behind, and playing with no rhythm. We’re fouling them a lot because we’re in lousy position all the time. OSU is not.

 

[RU848789]

Liked the comment that Cliff finally ran around some, even if non contact yet - good sign.

 

[ScarletDave]

Time for Luke Nathan, Nick Brooks. Send a message. Geo and Ron and Myles should not be in there under any circumstances

 

[richthedentist]

How do you play with no center

 

[Scangg]

Lets hope Baker doesnt come back next year

Thats one of those things you can think but aren't supposed to say lol

 

[RocktheRac]

Geo Paul McConnell Palmquist Reiber....

giving up with 11 minutes left eh? I don’t get it. Second variation of this lineup he also used similar in 1H was a mess..

Maybe going for the higher draft pick

 

[richthedentist]

Cliff is the only one showing any emotion on the bench

 

[zebnatto]

Men against boys look.

 

[RUissy]

Well our defense sucks, we can't rebound and we have no ball movement on offense. Other than that, we are a top 25 team. 🙄

 

[mildone]

Mulcahy and Caleb playing like it’s a tie score. Heads up. Energy high. Just playing to win each possession.

 

[biazza38]

Just checked the score and I quit... because they have as wel

 

[Roy_Faulker]

Hopefully no game scheduled next week - Pike needs to give the guys time off to get their heads right.

Something is very wrong - and it can be health but still.

what’s amazing to me is the shots that the opponents are making. They are shooting over the defense and our guys just seem to shoot into hands.

 

[jordkap]

It took us 11.5 minutes in the second half to eclipse their 1st half output

 

[RU848789]

17-7 fouls. C'mon.

 

[richthedentist]

jWhile is it a foul on MYles every time

 

[Scangg]

Mulcahy and Caleb playing like it’s a tie score. Heads up. Energy high. Just playing to win each possession.

I would start them both next game. Send a message. Shake things up

 

[KevH]

If we were a stock we'd be Enron.

As much as I wish I could, I can't argue with that.

 

[richthedentist]

17-7 fouls. C'mon.

Just an effin joke every game we have such a disparity when is Pikell going to say something

 

[ClassOf02]

17-7 fouls. C'mon.

These are fouls though. We‘re either out of position or a step too slow. And we’re not doing much on offense to draw fouls.

 

[NickKnight 1]

How do you play with no center

Poorly

 

[Captain Hogleg]

Let’s see if Myles can even hit the rim on his FT

 

[gigantor1024]

That pass right there from McConnell to Johnson is what we’ve been missing the last 5 games

 

[BOCA93]

The foul discrepancy is obscene but it’s not why OSU has hit 11 threes and why RU doesn’t rebound or run an offense

 

[Captain Hogleg]

I would start them both next game. Send a message. Shake things up

Same

 

[iMigz]

Jacob Young is not this team's problem

Geo not being Geo is a problem for this team and this could lend to it. Maybe it’s his injury but the way he’s being used in this offense is completely different.

 

[koleszar]

Now we're getting the whistle. It ain't over till it's over, Myles hit's his free throw and 18-0 run coming.

 

[RU848789]

These are fouls though. We‘re either out of position or a step too slow. And we’re not doing much on offense to draw fouls.

I agree we've fouled more than they have, but 17-7 is insane.

 

[ScarletDave]

Hit 3 threes in a row and it’s a ballgame

 

[RW90]

Still time if they could get a pulse.

 

[RU848789]

The foul discrepancy is obscene but it’s not why OSU has hit 11 threes and why RU doesn’t rebound or run an offense

Agreed. 28-19 on the boards and they're 10-20 from deep, while we're 4-15.

 

[Captain Hogleg]

That pass right there from McConnell to Johnson is what we’ve been missing the last 5 games

Exactly - but apparently Montez Mathis would rather eat the ball on a rejection than ever look to dish. Same with Geo
