Shock the World!

Shock the World!

you can say that again

 

[SBP]

If they bring that same defense from Michigan and JWill can help the offense this will be be a battle. I don’t see Ace have 2 bad games in a row

 

[Miggins]

Harper is questionable on injury report just released maybe he will play?

 

[Joey Bags]

This one feels like blowout city, we’ll see. Can’t shoot at the RAC.

Won’t be blowout. No way Ace has 2 bad games in arow

 

[RU_UniWatch]

Good news: I will be in attendance tonight and I havent been to a home game we have lost since Maryland last season.

6-0 this season when im in the house!

Geez I hope he’s close to 100 percent

We have actually had only one of those players for a bunch of games, if we had both our record would be better and and it would be a dry noodle sticking straight up...

Harper’s level of excellence was on display in Vegas.
Who you saw was who he is, that Harper coupled with the strides Bailey has made would have resulted in a completely different season.

Last time Ace had a bad game he followed it up with 37

Agreed. Early season Ace was so much worse

Hoping we make strides and get invited to the new Vegas post season tournament. The Thanksgiving one was so much fun

 

[RAC93]

Fonseca says no walking boot for Harper, that he is out for warmups looking like a guy who will play.

But the board experts said he was done or would be out for a couple more weeks minimum 🤷‍♂️

Bored Ex-Spurts……we’ll see if he plays but seems like he may give it a go

I would still prefer he sit out if he’s in “try and give it a go” mode

Guessing he feels pretty close to 100 percent if he’s playing

We’ll find out, if he just stands in the corner and isn’t involved very much that will be a sign he’s not near 100%. I am thinking if he plays that they finally waited until he’s 100% or at least close to it. Agree with you though that if we’re going to get “stand in the corner Dylan” then would prefer he sit out.

Agreed 100%

Are we pretending we'd make the tournament if both Harper and ace were playing now? I could've sworn they were playing when they were losing to the cupcakes like Kennesaw State and princeton

 

[Scangg]

Even if he doesn't play tonight it means he's close and not shutting it down for the season like some were predicting

Yup. Once the game is on, he’ll forget his limitations and set himself back.

No sign of a limp or any pain as he warms up.

 

[koleszar]

Just came out to warm up and Harper looks OK. We’ll see how it goes

 

[GotEmmm]

 

[RUfanSinceAnderson]

Daniel Larussa is gonna fight!!!!!

 

[bac2therac]

I don't want stand in corner in Dylan

 

[rubjk]

I don't want stand in corner in Dylan

He had more energy and hop than I’ve seen from him in warm ups all year.

If he’s truly back, I hope he’s in the starting lineup.
I know I’m old, but i hope his ankle is wrapped.

 

[bwrlaw]

Only Rutgers could have a blackout game and give out white towels. And I am told the team is wearing red.

So upsets don’t happen to the best teams? So we arent rebounding and playing better D at this point in the season? So Ace has developed since those games? Shoe in for tourney maybe not but a few more wins than we currently have now and legit battling for the bubble hell yes!

 

[Scangg]

No reason to assume he's going to be hurt and can't move. Give Harper a chance

Geez did you look under a rock to bitch

 

[bac2therac]

I don't think it will be a full RAC

No but you did you old crab

White will actually look perfect against a black backdrop

That's awesome let's go!

And the place is mostly black including students. So the curmudgeons and negative Nancie’s can unbunch their britches.

The tweets and text and gameday email worked. Not everyone requires a months notice to grab a black shirt.
