Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Basketball versus Maryland

[Saint Puppy]

Love it!....put Queen in foul trouble.

 

[RU848789]

huge getting a 3rd on Queen

 

[Scangg]

3 on queen! Nice drive by Grant and recognition to step through

 

[koleszar]

Whistle being called even now.

 

[greenknight]

Why did it take 3 fouls to finally call the foul

 

[BillyC80]

Big play for Grant to draw that foul!

 

[RocktheRac]

Queenie

 

[RU848789]

What was it Pike didn't see in Grant again?

Nobody will ever know - it's the biggest criticism of Pike this year, by far, IMO.

 

[Rokodesh]

keep it up boys!

 

[FIJI'83]

General Grant today

 

[robjknight]

The Queen has 3 fouls!!

 

[Mholinko]

Pike halftime adjustment to go into this pseudo pressure into a zone working so far Maryland little confused on offense and settling for shots that suddenly not falling

 

[RUFan20231]

Grant looks solid. Clearly a BIG player.

If you can play against Reece/Queen, you belong..

 

[bac2therac]

Terps flustered by zone and RU 8-0 run

 

[tm_nj]

smart play by DG

 

[Scangg]

Great energy to start the half

The energy you said they didn't have 🤣

The zone somehow working... for now at least..seems like it hasn't worked all season

 

[RUisB1Gtime]

If we rebound we can win.. like I said they will cool off....Have to keep them off the glass and we can steal this

 

[chase_NJ]

Law of averages says they wouldn't be able to sustain that shooting from the first half. Keep it up.

 

[shields]

Keep it up they should cool off.

 

[robjknight]

Foul out Queen and Reese and we win

 

[RAC93]

The Others have more than done their job - Grant, Lathan and Martini have combined for 28 points to go with Harper’s 12 points. Time for Ace to join the party and do his part.

 

[Simce91]

Big play for Grant to draw that foul!

Pike better not sub him out for Martini

 

[bac2therac]

Whistle being called even now.

It usually evens out

 

[RocktheRac]

Queenie

 

[Fat Koko]

Two minute broadcast delay on WFAN

 

[Saint Puppy]

What was it Pike didn't see in Grant again?

That's our season right there IMO.....you mean he improved that much over the season when in the beginning he couldn't sniff the floor?? Pike was way too conservative with him, and that is why we will be sitting home in March.

 

[greenknight]

I think we can win this game unless Pike goes back to sitting inside ARC. We do that we get dusted fast

 

[RAC93]

JWill with the kick!

We get a break for once, it was an obvious kick, but they missed obvious fouls by Maryland in 1st half

Have to give props @greenknight called it, if he didn't do it, it was coaching malpractice.

 

[robjknight]

Why did it take 3 fouls to finally call the foul

Because they had no choice after the third mugging

 

[RocktheRac]

I hope Pike doesn't substitute after the time out

 

[BillyC80]

MD was thinking they couldn’t miss, started this half chucking up quick shots.

 

[80RU]

I can’t believe these Maryland fans. They did the ref you suck chant in the first half when Bardo was saying they could’ve called five fouls on the play. Now Queen didn’t just touch Grant, he grabbed him by the upper arm, yet you have the ref you suck chant

 

[FIJI'83]

Playing zone betting Terps cannot keep hitting 3s at 7/12 first half clip. Pike is picking his poison. It was a decision that had to be made.

 

[Mholinko]

Nobody will ever know - it's the biggest criticism of Pike this year, by far, IMO.

It’s a fair criticism but we are 5-7 in games he’d appeared in heading into today

How many games did we lose that we would’ve won simply by playing him… the answer is probably 0 or 1

 

[Scangg]

And maybe martini doesn't hit his two threes after it. Pointless argument

He missed that 3 🤣🤣 you can't be serious

An open 3 for Ace should not be passed up period. End of story.

If Ace was covered, sure of course.. not when he is open

 

[RAC93]

JWill’s thing is no longer falling, it’s kicking!!!

 

[koleszar]

Grant is piling up the fouls on these two centers.

 

[greenknight]

They are right these officials are garbage. 2 kicks by JW and an MD guy kicked to 1/2 court rocket in 1st half no call

 

[FIJI'83]

A bullshit call. Will take it.
