Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Hoops versus Northwestern

Great team win.Shout out to Oskar for the nine points in the first half while his teammates were shooting bricks.The second half showed far better defense on Buie while the offense started to make some shots .Hyatt,Simpson,Williams and Davis made big shots and Cliff was outstanding blocking shots.On the last shot of the game I don't know why Rutgers didn't foul right away before the shot by Buie.They had a three point lead with four seconds remaining.There were some nervous moments with J Williams and Cliff laying on the floor from apparent injuries.They were warriors and came back into the game after a brief rest on the bench.Mag not playing impacted the defense especially in the first half.It was great seeing Caleb McConnell at the game,
announcers said something about fouling, clock stopping and on inbound Rutgers getting fouled and having to take foul shots. Given those choices they think Pikiell chose to play defense. 🤷‍♂️
 
Replay from under the basket is the best angle and it looked like a foul
kind of rule of thumb if you are out of control and same goes for an out of control layup you are not going to get a foul call unless it is blatant

Replay from behind the play didn't look like JMike made contact, but at worst it was inconclusive. Front angle replay was also inconclusive imo because Cliff and BaBa Buie mostly blocked seeing if JMike made any contact from behind. In any event, NW got at least 5 pts off of obvious Buie fouls not called, so they still came out ahead with that.
