Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers versus Ohio State

[bac2therac]

Rutgers too cheap to splurge for Red Panda this year

 

[Degaz-RU]

OSU has 9 TOs on 31 possessions. Need to keep up this excellent defense.

We started 0-11 from the field, but then went 9-18 after that.

From reading this thread and not watching the game I assumed we were down at least 12 -15 points...down 2 at the half - no wonder Mag doesn't want to play

The RAC couldn't be any more supportive of this team, including today. Being annoyed that we played like crap the first ten minutes is allowed

 

[socaldave]

win or lose today I am much more optimistic
For next year.
Some of the players leaving are really bad to mediocre at best.
Huge upgrade in personnel vs the guys leaving.
22 and GG are going to contribute big time next year.
I think Cliff is a nice guy, imo we are better without him next year.
I know a lot believe otherwise, I think it allows for more complementary basketball and a better opportunity to play 5 man basketball on both ends.
W/O being specific, Sometime I think Cliff misses the point.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

0-11, 0-5 the first 6:35
9-18, 2-5 the final 13:25

Or she didn’t want any part of this team — our disgusting offense could have caused some bad juju for the woman on the 6 foot tall unicycle.

Yea it's a tough call. But I would be shocked if he returns after his brother flying in from Sweden for first time ever to watch him play. I think Cliff goes and plays abroad. Earns good money. Nothing wrong with that.

If so I wish him well, I am rooting for that!

LaPhonso Ellis needs to say middle ball screen more.

 

[ClassOf02]

Oh Cliff.

 

[shields]

BB Iq is poor for Cliff.

 

[RU Mike73]

Oh Cliff. SMH

 

[BillyC80]

Even without Mag, our defense is solid. We were one banked 3 from actually leading in the first half, despite our shooting woes.

 

[RuBird]

If and it’s a big if Cliff comes back next year need to treat him like we did Myles when he was getting into foul trouble. Bring him off the bench. Early fouls to star both halves….again

 

[LotusAggressor]

They're turning #34 into Bill Russell.

 

[socaldave]

#1 missing GG open cuts to the basket
More vision coming next year

 

[RU Mike73]

6 shots blocked today so far.

 

[socaldave]

GG showing good vision

 

[socaldave]

Needs to make those shots

All signs point to him finishing this year.

nice play JMike!

 

[Mr Magoo]

We seem to be trying real hard to look for positives with Gavin today but he is not playing well at all

I hope we hear Mag has transferred as soon as portal opens.

 

[Degaz-RU]

He’s PLAYING well, but he’s just not hitting his shots.

Definitely overrated as recruit. I think he'll be here next year though. Playing unlimited minutes down stretch. JMike will definitely be here too playing a bench role.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

I am a jmac fan. Kid plays hard and has definitely been a frosh contribution this season.

 

[socaldave]

0=0

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Can’t shoot

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

He’s PLAYING well, but he’s just not hitting his shots.

That's kinda of a contridiction.

 

[RU Mike73]

Derek Simpson, master brick layer.

 

[socaldave]

0,5,2 not good

 

[bac2therac]

Pike subbed and now new biggest lead

 

[ClassOf02]

And we’ve dug ourselves a hole again.

 

[motorb54]

Simpson with a jumper that should have been a pass to a wide open big.

 

[socaldave]

Get 0,5,2 off the court
Pike’s substitutions and combinations just not good

 

[socaldave]

Fun to watch him grow GG

 

[zappaa]

Clang

 

[socaldave]

Terrible call!!!!!

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

GG..that's freaking ridiculous. Make something the or gods sake. Killing Simpson but you aren't helping either.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Two empty fast breaks
