Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Indiana

[zgoru]

Amazing what a few made baskets can do. This board goes from “fire pike” to euphoria. People on this board can be ridiculous.

If you read this thread from the beginning it's just hilarious really, first nine pages are filled with such vitriol for the team, Pike, the families of the team, the refs, random commercials, the announcers. Anything and everything is fair game for some $#it slinging. 😆

I really dont want to see Mathis, Cliff or Caleb except for maybe a minute each

Amen
In a nutshell

 

[bac2therac]

Welcome to the official game thread ethos. Has always been very bipolar. 😀

I guess, when people‘s parents taught them “when you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all“, a few of our fans might not have been fully paying attention.

better than breaking our tvs

 

[FrankZ]

Only 1 FT in first half?

And of course it had to be missed. Hat throw just on principle.

 

[RU848789]

Mulcahy started the run, with an in rhythm, no hesitating, let it rip 3 pointer and closed the half with a big, big basket.....if he plays well, RU plays well. That 3 starting the run was the game changer....

Yeah, whenever Paul scores we seem to do well - someone go research that...

THIS ^^^ And that is how he and all of them should be playing.. they are all Big Ten basketball players.. they can hit threes shooting in rythm .. take them when appropriate. And EXPECT to get the board on a missed 3. Missing a three is not the end of the world if you own the boards.

To be fair the lineup was horrible early on and lead to tons of turnovers

I'm on my 3rd TV tonight, lol (not really, but I did fling the remote twice...at the couch)

 

[Pancho1939]

Just so everyone knows we will come back to earth and have to grind out this win. These guys will need a break here and there. Stay calm dont panic

 

[bac2therac]

its not over folks, Archie will adjust, we need to play our game....if we break their spirit, this doesnt have to go to the end. Big 5 minutes upcoming.

it's because everyone here is a passionate fan who probably cares a little too much. So when things are going bad, the $#it flies

Not much to argue.

 

[runner3283]

Family in the stands and a bit of emotion from them got us going. I don’t think there is another team in the country that plays better off the atmosphere, crowd and emotion.

Which one blew the whistle?

If Cliff decides to actually CATCH the basketball I'm good
with him playing a few

Oh I know

 

[RUsojo]

This lineup is essentially Geo Young Mathis Ron Myles but we have Paul in for Mathis which is fine because he is playing mostly off ball

 

[RU848789]

Nice drive by JY

 

[Usbcbowler]

Need to go on a run and get this to 6 at the half

Just missed we got it to 4

 

[RU848789]

RHJ on fire!!

 

[koleszar]

He's back.

 

[Pancho1939]

How pissed is Indiana that Ron decided to wake up

 

[FrankZ]

I love it when Ron makes shots. A lot

 

[tfio]

Ron is back baby!!!

 

[Shell21]

Ronny!!!

 

[bac2therac]

Shoot the arrows

Be my baby ronnie

 

[RUsojo]

Paul is clearing a lot of space for Ron very different than McConnell just standing next to him.

 

[FrankZ]

He's back. Pheww!!

Knew it was dropping pure to boot. That my friends is not a bad thing,

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Yes!!!! Pike is riding the right guys. Lets gooooooo

 

[bac2therac]

Archie panicking already

 

[ClassOf02]

Step on their MF’ing throats!

 

[RU Mike73]

Kick ass Seniors.

 

[gef21]

I turned off the TV and walked away and we immediately began to play well. Everyone you are welcome.

 

[rufeelinit]

Mulcahy started the run, with an in rhythm, no hesitating, let it rip 3 pointer and closed the half with a big, big basket.....if he plays well, RU plays well. That 3 starting the run was the game changer....

Gotta give you credit for emphasizing his need to shoot the ball so that we are not playing 4 on 5 in the last game recap thread.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I think Ron and Geo have hit 6 straight from 3

 

[bac2therac]

Rebound rebound rebound

Dont turn it over

Win

 

[FrankZ]

Somehow get this to double digits. Soon.

 

[Shell21]

No subs please

 

[knight82]

@zappaa you were right. We go as far as RHJ takes us.

 

[mildone]

Remember when you first rode a bike without training wheels or other assistance? How all you wanted to do was ride forever?

That’s what it must feel like to the players as they keep sinking 3s. They just want the ball and want to shoot now.

In sports, confidence is huge.
