Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Minnesota on Thursday night

[RU848789]

Up 7 at the half. Better than being down, but nowhere near what it could've been with better D. Love Cliff's 10/6 (but not the 2 fouls, which could've been more) and Cam's 14 on 6-7 FGs, plus it's nice to see Paul with 6 points. Not much from the bench tonight though. Simpson needs more time out there.

Ru wins easy if Cliff can stay on the floor which won't be easy. They will go after him immediately

20-9 boards but when Cliff went out they cut it to 20-14

 

[ScarletDave]

Minnesota shooting lights out almost 50% and we’re still up 7, mostly thanks to Cam Spencer .. but also two and-1s by Paul, needed him go show up and he did. 40 points at half, great

 

[mugrat86]

40-33

Not our best

But in control

Not giving up today?

 

[fluoxetine]

Horrible shooting team 4-8 from 3

Lol

WTF Reiber? Why is he shooting and a 3 at that?

Why is Reiber shooting that three early in the clock?

And Dean shoots that crap 1/2 way into the clock geez

Why the f is he shooting in that situation

Dean is wide open. He is supposed to be a stretch 5. That's a shot he should be taking

What @Scangg said. It’s a wide open three for a guy who can supposedly shoot. He should obviously be taking that or otherwise he should be nailed to the bench.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Minny got away with 2 walks. SB only 29.

 

[Scangg]

Bench 1-4 with 1 rebound 1 steal and 5 fouls

 

[Bayonnebomber79]

Don’t let this team hang around. Come out in the second half and kick some gopher a$$

 

[FrankZ]

Love me some stellar Cam games 👌

 

[Scangg]

Lol

Exactly. Classic case of evaluating decisions based on the outcome

 

[Joey Bags]

We’re gonna have to lay that iron coming out of the locker room

 

[RU848789]

I'll admit I get a chuckle out of the "rockstar" ad...

 

[RutgersMO]

Refs are Courtney Greene / Paul Szelc and Earl Walton. Horrid trio with each having a history of screwing us. Greene and Szelc call ticky tack fouls and change their style each half.

How could a guy named Courtney Greene ever call a foul on RU?

Mo

 

[RU Mike73]

Just knew it. Pike should have known it too and yanked

Frank replying to Frank. Gotta love it. 🤦‍♂️

But supposedly is so 2021-2022 lol.
I don't have a problem with the shot. Just the miss ha.

 

[tfio]

Just play a smart half and get the hell out of there with a W

 

[BigEastPhil]

Minny got away with 2 walks. SB only 29.

Henley took like 5 steps.

 

[rufeelinit]

The good:

40 points
Cam
Cliff getting the ball in better post position
Caleb D on Battle
Active on the offensive boards

Not so good
Post defense. I thought Cliff could have been called for another foul a couple of times
Woof very foul prone.
Paul if you are going to foul make sure it is hard enough so no and 1
Derek let the game come to you.

 

[RuBird]

Still up 7 with Cliff sitting again with 2 fouls.

 

[scarletrat]

Minnesota fridge players walking…I mean playing over their heads…

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Solid half... need to push the lead to double digits... let them hang around and it'll be a barnburner

 

[jtung230]

Why is Paul getting so many minutes?

 

[RU848789]

Nice start

 

[koleszar]

The entire team should watch tape of Spencer doing layups.

 

[FrankZ]

Here we go. Beautiful

 

[RU848789]

Nice start

Really nice start, lol...

 

[jkernpop]

Way to start. Inside seems open whenever we keep rotating it’s just a matter of time for an opening

 

[DaveSNJ]

Like seeing Cam slash to the basket

 

[Degaz-RU]

Now THAT’S how you come out after halftime!!

 

[bac2therac]

Awesome start great ball movement and specific adjustments with cliff

 

[tm_nj]

That's it. Play inside the paint in this game

 

[RU848789]

The entire team should watch tape of Spencer doing layups.

He uses his body better than anyone, as well as releases the ball from the furthest point away from the defender from either side, i.e., using either hand - those things make a big difference...

 

[FrankZ]

Frank replying to Frank. Gotta love it. 🤦‍♂️

✌️

 

[Scangg]

Cliff good pass from the post!

 

[PiscatawayMike]

I want a 15-point lead at the 16:00 media timeout... not a 6-point lead

 

[RU Mike73]

Stomp

 

[RUTRINI]

Don’t let this team hang around. Come out in the second half and kick some gopher a$$

Ok they heard you bomber...

 

[tfio]

Great start boys. Now time to step on their throats

 

[koleszar]

Good job coaching staff on seeing it and drawing from the well twice.
