Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Minnesota

[mildone]

We’ve been so streaky with outside shooting. I hope our we sustain the good shooting for the entire second half. Also the rebounding.

 

[bac2therac]

They are all stepping up

You need to make plays to win games

The first 10 minutes half the team was still in la land

This team builds off energy. They made their own but still 20 minutes to go

 

[FrankZ]

14-29, 5-10. Good

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

That is how you close out a half!! Hopefully the geo bashing will stop

Now that he decided to show up...of course it will.

 

[shields]

On the bench with two fouls. Harper played okay.

 

[jtung230]

Good way to close out the half. Just keep grinding.

 

[bac2therac]

Best close to a half this year. Beyond shocking. Thought Caleb was gonna break his funk today but looks like it might be Tez instead.

Also RHJ needs to get his s*** together instead of pouting on the bench.

2 fouls..thought he played solid when he was in

 

[NickKnight 1]

That is how you close out a half!! Hopefully the geo bashing will stop

If the Geo bashing stops, then the bashing would
just go to another player then another.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

put them away early in the half plz

 

[Shell21]

Ron not bringing the energy so take a seat. Got to respect it

 

[Degaz-RU]

Ron not bringing the energy so take a seat. Got to respect it

he had 2 fouls

2 fouls delivered the pine

 

[bac2therac]

Ron not bringing the energy so take a seat. Got to respect it

2 fouls..it had nothing to do with energy

 

[Joey Bags]

2 fouls..thought he played solid when he was in

They cut to him on the bench shaking his head when we were in the middle of that run to close the half.

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

Pike is definitely starting to give JY the keys. That’s priority one for this team to get going again.

Step 2 is Mathis minutes over McConnell and Mulcahy. Or at least get more of them.

Step 3 is Geo in this role a willing and confident rhythm shooter

On step 2 I’d love to see that but Tez has been invisible lately. But if he can get hot and regain his early season form watch out

 

[Shell21]

Whoops , forgot he had 2 fouls

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Hold MN under 60 and this game is ours

 

[Knightmoves]

Do we control Carr in 2nd half? No points, 3 fouls.

 

[FrankZ]

30 years down to 20 minutes. Finish this.

 

[PatrickRU92]

2nd half outlook

Ball go in win
Ball not go in bust out prilosec

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

Do we control Carr in 2nd half? No points, 3 fouls.

Players like Carr can get hot fast

 

[bac2therac]

RU turned it over 3 times in first 5 minutes and only 3 times in next 15...very important

also winning the boards...19-13

rebound and protect the rock

 

[FrankZ]

2nd half outlook

Ball go in win
Ball not go in bust out prilosec

Me prefer the former

 

[bac2therac]

Mashburn has taken 7 shots for Minny...1-7, if that is what they are going to go with, its going to be tough for Minny

also things changed when Curry got his 2nd foul...we need to get more on him, without him they cannot rebound at all


Carr only 5 shots, does he refocus or just become sloppy

 

[knights1212]

I am not counting on anything until the game is over. I am still a bit nervous. We just cannot let up and keep playing good defense and hitting shots. Nothing ever comes easy for Rutgers. GO RU.

Need to go at Care offensively quickly so he can gets his fourth. If he heats up the gap will narrow

 

[RUPartisan]

They cut to him on the bench shaking his head when we were in the middle of that run to close the half.

Stop trying to jump to conclusions and imply $hit.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Very balanced effort today

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

JY brining 100% 100% of the time.........

love it.......

20 more!

 

[Night Man]

1st half summary:

We shot over 25% from 3

 

[FIJI'83]

PM 0-1 with 1 assist. ugh.

 

[FrankZ]

Loathe TOs

 

[bac2therac]

Paul!

 

[RUsojo]

Transition 3! Damn 2. Ron pushing the ball though

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Great pass

 

[FrankZ]

PM omg that was big

 

[Night Man]

Carr has zero which is the difference.

We should be able to keep him in check in the 2nd half as well. Without Robbins we can use our bigs on him.

 

[bac2therac]

Come on Myles..weakfish

 

[FrankZ]

Cmon Myles. Strong

 

[bac2therac]

Oh Jacob!
