Michigan State turnovers keeping Rutgers in the game.11-8 Michigan State.

 

[biazza38]

What a stupid shot by Harper

 

[RU205]

Run a set

 

[BillyC80]

Settling down now, playing our game.

 

[RUsojo]

Solid regroup out of the timeout. When we sat Geo..

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

This is the type of performance on the road that Rutgers has shown in previous years.Shooting bricks and no semblance of organization.

It will get better Just an awful start. Same as Georgia election results lol. Ooops. Sorry. My bad.

 

[bac2therac]

okay some signs of life in the last few minutes

just settle down and play defense, you dont have to go at 150 mph. we can score in the half court

 

[rtabachk]

We better hit these FTs

 

[RUsojo]

91% of the money was on the under.

 

[greenknight]

They have NOBODY that can cover MJ and we are not looking to pound him. You want open outside shots give him the dam ball and let him go to work

 

[Shell21]

Think we settled down. We are now locking them up on d until we can hit some shots

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

You think Pike is overrated? You don’t know Rutgers basketball then

I personally dont let 30 years of futility cloud my view. By rutgers standards hes great, overall hes rather average

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Caleb looks weak at the hoop.

His D looks like it hasn't missed a beat. Way off offensively.

 

[BigEastPhil]

It’s like we re playing at 78 rpm. Relax. Settle down. Hopefully we withstood the onslaught by Sparty.

 

[bac2therac]

key stat....getting killed on the boards thus far 11-6

 

[BOCA93]

MSU is sloppier than I thought they’d be. RU just needs to settle in

 

[bac2therac]

They have NOBODY that can cover MJ and we are not looking to pound him. You want open outside shots give him the dam ball and let him go to work

he has to do better than last time, where he hit the front of rim

 

[rtabachk]

I personally dont let 30 years of futility cloud my view. By rutgers standards hes great, overall hes rather average

To be fair he's done more with less since Gary Watters.

 

[biazza38]

You have no idea the uphill climb he was facing. It’s quit obvious. To be where we are now in the best conference is incredible

 

[shields]

And if Johnson gets the ball and fouled he is going to miss.

 

[rtabachk]

I'm sorry do they not practice FTs

 

[RU848789]

0-3 FTs...

 

[Caliknight]

Free throws are now in our heads. I am not sure how we get out of that.

 

[bac2therac]

free throws 0-4..shameful

 

[koleszar]

Absolutely horrendous Mathis he's back into me mode.

 

[RocktheRac]

4 and counting

 

[RUJMM78]

This is madness missing 4 straight foul shots.

 

[biazza38]

Ugh

 

[rtabachk]

Take Mathis out

 

[zebnatto]

Get Mm out.

 

[RUsince52]

Can't go multiple trips down the court without at least drawing fouls. Good team avoid those mistakes.

 

[bac2therac]

Mathis..awful move

Caleb taking ridiculous 3.

smfh

 

[RU Mike73]

WTF Montez??

 

[Mr Magoo]

I'm sorry do they not practice FTs

its form, repetition, and confidence. I’m sure they have the repetition part. It’s mostly mental with us.

 

[rtabachk]

Awful offensive set. How is Johnson not being fed the ball?

 

[rufancoe00]

0-4 from the stripe ?? Wtf

 

[SCNJ]

Pike should Iock the players in the gym until each player hits 1000 free throws

And Mathis should not be allowed to drive to the basket for a contested layup

 

[RW90]

Fugly

 

[Rokodesh]

never seen a ranked team take as many ugly shots that have no chance as we do. Jesus christ.
Every time Montez or Ron try to drive on 3 defenders I cringe.

 

[bac2therac]

what happened to Young
