GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Minn.

[bac2therac]

Make all of these

 

[BillyC80]

Caleb having a day!

 

[FrankZ]

Caleb so huge

 

[koleszar]

Mulcahy just cleaning up all the junk today and turning it into points.

 

[bac2therac]

Halftime

RUTGERS 34 MINNESOTA 25

Wow

 

[PatrickRU92]

OK I'm happy to be up 9.

 

[DHajekRC84]

I guess Johnson not scoring for oturo not scoring is good trade

But if Johnson would just go towards the rim vs. Backwards...more aggressive. Think he's really concerned about fouls and wanting to get back on D.

 

[RU205]

34-25 RU at half

 

[jordkap]

Really after the 10-2 start, Rutgers completely dominated the half, wasn’t even close either.

 

[FrankZ]

Really after the 10-2 start, Rutgers completely dominated the half, wasn’t even close either.

Can’t ask for much more after that tear-jerking start

 

[KingOfTheEast]

What a way to bounce back after a sluggish start! Great job by Pike amd the leadership group to right the ship

 

[Degaz-RU]

Gotta clean up the 3-pt defense in the 2nd half, but gotta be happy being up 9 at half.

 

[kcg88]

Harper 2
Baker 2
Yeboah 0

And we're up 9

 

[kcg88]

It feels worse but they're only 5-15. We can live with 33%.

 

[Tango Two]

Minnesota was up 11-2

Since then it’s Rutgers 32-13

 

[Degaz-RU]

Really after the 10-2 start, Rutgers completely dominated the half, wasn’t even close either.

Yeah, closing out on a 32-15 run in the last 16:30 of the half, including a 17-2 run to get it started.

If we win, Tez gets a ton of credit for jump starting us with that 11 point flourish.

 

[BOCA93]

Agreed. feels like lead should a lot more considering how bad RU imposed it’s will on the boards. Kalscheur and the other guard keeping them in it

 

[kcg88]

Young and Mathis have done such a good job on Carr. Need to keep it up for another 20 though, that guy can go off in a hurry.

 

[Arizona Knight]

Tez saved us early. So big for us when we needed someone to stop the bleeding.

 

[RUsince52]

Dude he had a bad shot, he’s one of our most valuable players...

He might be, but I think he might be leading the team in air balls too. Other teams might miss open shots, but they hit something.
Just saying......

 

[bac2therac]

Rebounding and not turning it over

27-17 boards..only 3 turnovers..2 for Young palming

Otoru 0-6 2 pts

Carr 0 pts

 

[read option]

Once Mulcahy becomes a bit more of a scorer, he’s a triple double waiting to happen. Great ball handler, very smart player, and an excellent rebounding G.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Oturu 20.3----> 2 on 2 FTs
Carr 16.5----> 0

Myles is an amazing defender.
15 3pt attempts only 12 2pt FG attempts.
Teams can't attempt 2pt FGs because we are so good defensively.

 

[BillyC80]

8 guys have scored for RU, only 4 have scored for MN. Wow.

 

[RU205]

Harper 2
Baker 2
Yeboah 0

And we're up 9

This is a team.

 

[PatrickRU92]

“Palms” Haven’t because I like that shit before Iverson was at Georgetown!!! WTF??!!

Lets put this one up there with the "in the cylinder" foul. Won't be called again all year

 

[Degaz-RU]

Young and Mathis have done such a good job on Carr. Need to keep it up for another 20 though, that guy can go off in a hurry.

Yeah this is huuuuuuugggeee. Carr has 0 points because Tez and JY have been playing “in your shorts” defense on him.

 

[ancienthooper]

27-17 on the boards. That’s just absurd. Caleb 7, Paul 6.

 

[Mr Magoo]

We are a way deeper team than Minny and it shows right now.

 

[RuBird]

Hmmm doesn't sound like it on TV also don't see many standing.

Sitting in 201s crowd is in fire

 

[Arizona Knight]

Myles 0 fouls is a very good thing going ito second half.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Young and Mathis have done such a good job on Carr. Need to keep it up for another 20 though, that guy can go off in a hurry.

Yes, you have to expect studs to have a better 2H. Just keep getting after it,. Thus is the Mike Rice "comfortable in chaos" ala Steve Pikel!

 

[Ole Cabbagehead]

It feels worse but they're only 5-15. We can live with 33%.

True, but two of those missed got flushed for 2

need to do better closing out on #0

 

[RUsince52]

Mulcahy just cleaning up all the junk today and turning it into points.

He is capable of scoring inside and exhibits good shot control to create his shot.

 

[RutgHoops]

Yeah, closing out on a 32-15 run in the last 16:30 of the half, including a 17-2 run to get it started.

If we win, Tez gets a ton of credit for jump starting us with that 11 point flourish.

Glad Coach P didn’t cut Tez this week

 

[BOCA93]

Refs are def keying on Young for carrying. Pitino probably whining for the calls. IMO the carry is just like the moving screen. Happens constantly every game and rarely gets called. Maybe we can get a few 3 seconds calls in the 2nd half.

 

[Arizona Knight]

How about that drive by Tez, throws a bullet to RHJ on the baseline who somehow catches it and goes reverse for the layup.

Skill.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Just want to see Little Ricky cry today lol.

 

[richthedentist]

27-17 on the boards. That’s just absurd. Caleb 7, Paul 6.

Paul 7

 

[kcg88]

True, but two of those missed got flushed for 2

Agree on point 1, have to box out.

With Willis though the problem is he's their fourth option and you kind of have to live with him beating you. Lock down Carr Oturu and Kalscheur and we win.
