Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Basketball versus Maryland

[greenknight]

Such a STUPID foul there JW

 

[koleszar]

Need an on Bailey as others are contributing and he's completely disappeared.

 

[Rokodesh]

Have to convert at the basket, thought grant was fouled on the dunk attempt.

 

[BillyC80]

Oh man, Ace. We needed that one. So close.

 

[RU848789]

Missed FTs and missed opportunity for an easy basket in those last 2 possessions by Grant, but otherwise he's having a very good game.

 

[robjknight]

Replay showed it should have been number 4 on Reese block

 

[motorb54]

How was that not a foul? Yes, had the ball but hit his arm and body on body.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Three separate chances to cut the lead to 3 or 4, all failed.

 

[Scarlet Bri]

That was Reece’s 4th! Where was the call!!

 

[Scangg]

Replay showed it should have been number 4 on Reese block

Huge not getting that call. 4 on reese, 3 on Queen and Willard has a really tough decision to make

 

[RocktheRac]

These refs are as bad as sweet peas joke of the day

 

[RU848789]

Have to convert at the basket, thought grant was fouled on the dunk attempt.

Looked clean to me

 

[greenknight]

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

Freshman they all dont develop the same

 

[FIJI'83]

That needless foul from Williams reaching from behind is not smart. The risk/reward is not there. He should no better.

 

[Mholinko]

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.

The games we lost that he didn’t play in were Kennesaw, Alabama, Indiana and Princeton

the kennesaw and Princeton losses are egregious and embarrassing well beyond Dylan grant playing or not

Indiana we played without Harper was the bigger issue

 

[bac2therac]

All the stats are starting to close in...ru actually getting to line more and rebounding even..only 3 pt shooting is the big difference

Critical time here to see if Terps respond

 

[80RU]

Replay showed it should have been number 4 on Reese block

Yes – – and consider that if it weren’t for that BS call on Martini where Queen should’ve had the offensive foul in the first half, they would both have four.

 

[BillyC80]

Need stops, keep it to 2 possessions as long as possible.

 

[greenknight]

Looked clean to me

Didnt need a dunk there switches to right hand uses rim to protect it's an easy layup

 

[ScarletDave]

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

When there were only 2 fouls called in the first 20 minutes against Maryland, the normal whistle now seems like blasphemy to them. Maryland probably the most physical team in the Big Ten

 

[RAC93]

Can we make a three point basket? I think we only shot 1 thus far this half, miss by Ace.

 

[RUBlackout]

That was a foul on Grant both live and on replay. That’s a tough one.

Needed Ace to hit that shot to get some confidence

 

[RUChoppin]

Was watching on delay, and finally caught up. This game has been a brawl, and half a dozen guys should have 4 fouls. Refs are letting a lot go, and I feel like we've been on the short end of the stick a bit so far

Maryland hot from three, unfortunately, several on deep deep attempts.

Somerville pretty good offensively, but got badly abused for a stretch on defense.

Need to get some threes and some calls

 

[Rutgers25]

How are we not making a concerted effort to get Ace the ball.

 

[Rokodesh]

Williams omg

2 of the dumbest fouls evrr

 

[koleszar]

JWill taketh away part.

 

[The RUT]

Damn jwil

 

[RUinOhio]

Williams. Every damn game

 

[RAC93]

JWill just checked the box off for his requisite fouling of a 3 point shooter

 

[Degaz-RU]

WTF is JWill doing?! This isn’t football.

 

[Mholinko]

Williams quickly countering two great hustle plays with two insanely bad plays

 

[robjknight]

Stupid foul by Jwill

 

[BillyC80]

JWill with another horrible foul on a 3-point shooter

 

[bac2therac]

How many times do J Will do that

 

[winfield102]

The replay showed the blatant foul by Reese. With where Reese was positioned, he had no chance at just getting ball. He completely raked the right hand of Grant.

 

[Scangg]

5/13 from dylan and ace and in it still somehow

Please step up one if not both pleaseee

 

[RUChoppin]

Ugh. JW late and too aggressive on that shot

 

[RU848789]

Derkack and Martini together?

 

[tm_nj]

C’mon JW on the foul

 

[FIJI'83]

Constant low basketball IQ plays by Williams
