Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops versus Ohio State

[ClassOf02]

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

In this game, I just don’t agree. We’re being outplayed so badly that the fouls are a result of that. I’ve agreed plenty of times that we‘ve gotten an uneven whistle, but I don’t think so today.

 

[koleszar]

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

That's the spirit. A couple fouls on those 3 pointers and here we go.

 

[RW90]

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.

Agreed, but the "toughest" B1G team only has 7 total???

18 free throws to 4

 

[Mr Magoo]

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.


I don’t think they play enough..the pansy OOC schedule can’t prepare you for this.

 

[koleszar]

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

I said it earlier he has not passed the ball out once this game. If he's not scoring, he's going to try and get his.

 

[iMigz]

We went from 15 to 37 in the Net Rankings. Will the AP match?

 

[RU#1fan]

Pike gotta go.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

The one good thing we can take away from this game is that Caleb is back.

We have not fouled more.. they are very physical. The whistles are not the same. But as people here often say.. even if the fouls were even.. we are not playing well enough.

Like this foul on Mulcahy's breakaway.. osu #14 felt okay just bumping him because they have gotten away with it and none of them are in foul trouble

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers offense is inept because of the lack of front court size,players inability to make shots around the basket or get fouled and the disappearance of the go to scorers Baker and Harper.The rest of the squad are complementary type players except for Young who probably hasn't recovered from the hip/back injury.Math is having problem with drives to the basket because he is only 6' 4''.and shots are blocked.

 

[koleszar]

It wouldn't be a Rutgers game if Myles Johnson didn't miss a dunk.

 

[Rokodesh]

Targeting on OSU

 

[RUby RED]

7 footer has how many missed dunks this year?

 

[zebnatto]

As limited as Paul May be I’d rather him in than Montez. Oh, for csakes , finish Myles!

 

[richthedentist]

Myles has missed more dunks this year than he has made foul shots!!

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

It wouldn't be a Rutgers game if Myles Johnson didn't miss a dunk.

LOL I was just going to post same thing

 

[Captain Hogleg]

Mulcahy is the only one hustling.

 

[RU848789]

Dirty play by that OSU guy with the very hard hack...

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

JY is really good.

 

[Rokodesh]

we need a whole team of Jacob youngs

 

[RW90]

When did we annex Bayonne?

 

[Rokodesh]

Harper needs to sit. Not doing shit and not hustling

 

[RU848789]

How was that not a pushoff?

 

[Mr Magoo]

we need a whole team of Jacob youngs

that would be hysterical to watch.

 

[richthedentist]

Jeus effin christ how many offensive rebounds are we going to give up

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

First Harper than 3 players just standing around in the paint as the rebounds fly by. Embarrassing

 

[zebnatto]

Whose box out was that?

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

we don't get any rebounds

 

[Captain Hogleg]

Good job Caleb. Only other guy besides Mulcahy and Young showing heart

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Ron just looks like he doesnt care.

the more i watch JY the more i think he actually has a legit shot of being in an nba camp. He has some skills that just cant be taught

 

[ClassOf02]

We should start teaching the concept of boxouts.

 

[richthedentist]

How was that not a pushoff?

What a joke

 

[koleszar]

I'm very disappointed in Harper he's just so lazy lately. If things don't go his way he gives up. He's just standing around.

 

[Scangg]

Mulcahy is the only one hustling.

Caleb too and Young is a given

 

[Scangg]

I'm very disappointed in Harper he's just so lazy lately. If things don't go his way he gives up. He's just standing around.

Harper intensity level zero right now. It can't just be the ankle. Pike needs to light a fire under his ass

 

[Rokodesh]

Nice job PM

 

[Captain Hogleg]

Good job Paul - be a leader. No one else wants to

 

[mildone]

It’s the mulcahy and McConnell show.

 

[Rokodesh]

Harper intensity level zero right now. It can't just be the ankle. Pike needs to light a fire under his ass

His name is Ron "Business Decision" Harper until further notice
