Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers versus No. 25 Ohio State

[Randal7]

Cliff isn't the only one playing bad

He’s not. You’re right. It’s just exaggerated because Tim Duncan apparently is playing for Ohio state

 

[FrankZ]

despite being badly outplayed and not matching intensity if RU can get this down to 4 or 5 by halftime its still anyones game with halftime adjustment....THESE 3 MINUTES ARE HUGE

Big possession here.

 

[Corycord1]

One team has been allowed to play physical while the other hasn’t. With that being said, we are shooting relatively well. Difference in the game is second chance points, they are killing us on the glass. Complete 180 from Indiana. Someone needs to put Key on his back. Get him out of his rhythm and make him uncomfortable

 

[Jersey07712]

Only down 8 and playing like crap. Keep it within 10 going to the half and I think we still have a shot

 

[SBP]

I think we can all stop worrying about Cliff leaving next year! He needs at least one more year to get it together.

 

[bac2therac]

getting crushed on the boards 16-10 and OSU has taken 9 more shots...RU has turned it over 9 times

 

[FrankZ]

8-4 joker meter

 

[miketd1]

Cliff just doesn't look like he's putting 100% effort out there. He's really slow and his handle once he gets the entry pass looks like a 2nd grader's.

Is he hurt or something?

 

[80RU]

Their primary ball handler blatantly fends off with that left forearm.

 

[njxchange]

Well, one thing for sure -- we will have him back next year

unless he develops his offense and defense to an another level, he will def. be back.

They get away with murder on the offensive glass. That's the difference in the game

 

[zebnatto]

Let’s get to the half within five. We’ve been poor on O or D.

 

[bac2therac]

Cam is 4-4 but the wrong people are handling the ball...Paul has 3 turnovers so cant excuse him, Cliff 4

 

[Rokodesh]

Nice Caleb

 

[FrankZ]

Look at Wolf. Inexcusable not being in sooner

 

[cm_13]

It feels like we’re down 15 and it’s a 6 point game

 

[Caliknight]

Finish this half strong!

 

[koleszar]

We're better with Cliff on the bench. Who would have ever thought that? Now 4 pt. game.

 

[Rokodesh]

Hell yeah great defense

 

[FrankZ]

Should have been in 30-40 minutes ago.

 

[BOCA93]

Remarkable to be down 4 after those first 17 mins

 

[cm_13]

Closed the gap. Don’t give it away in the last 1:30

 

[Rokodesh]

Niceeee

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Wow.. ass call went our way.. makeup I think for osu point grabbing McConnell on inbound

 

[FrankZ]

Down 2 and all driven by Wolf energy

 

[Rokodesh]

Over the back on them, what a joke that it's on us.

**** you ref

 

[zappaa]

Not a foul

 

[FrankZ]

Joker step in. Was getting too close

 

[koleszar]

What was that foul?

 

[njxchange]

this ref loves his whistle

 

[Randal7]

Character building stretch here !!!! Hell of a job by Wolf

 

[cm_13]

They are calling all the ticky tack bullshit here but I’ll take that.

 

[Rokodesh]

Fantastic end to the half. Way to fight through it

 

[tfio]

This team man. What a close to the half

 

[KingOfTheEast]

Great end to the half boys!

 

[miketd1]

Strong finish to a horrific start. Good adjustments Pike.

Stick with what's working plz.

 

[socaldave]

We played much better with wolf on the floor

 

[trsmith03]

Down 2? I'll take it.

 

[gigantor1024]

So is there no sort of call for a OSU fan shoving the **** out of an opposing player? Pretty sure that’s not allowed No?

 

[Caliknight]

Good finish to the half.
