Basketball INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers Basketball falls to Michigan State 73-55

[PatrickRU92]

theres a push in the back---when we're down 18. motherf***ers

 

[bac2therac]

bullsh!t yes we have played yet another bad stretch but the one sided officiating COMPLETELY chnaged this game.

Rutgers literally led 36-35 and izzo lit a fire under his team during the timeout and Rutgers crumbled to the floor

Refs had zero to do wth that 19-0 run

 

[RUbacker]

We’re probably going to lose, but would love to see this team make one last run instead of just lay down and quit

Not going to happen. We don’t have the offensive players to come back.

 

[tm_nj]

Announcers must have some MSU stock or they have kids going there with all of the compliments they give a 9-7 team

 

[RW90]

Nice to see Woolf with two made free throws. Baby steps.

 

[RutgersChow]

Why is Cliff considered a top 3 BIG center? He should be absolutely dominating the paint but instead this year has been a disappearing act

There are plenty of Mid level D1 centers better than him.

 

[mikemarc1]

lol

 

[RUIvyKnight20]

Gavin is lost on D wow find your man

 

[bac2therac]

Izzo switched up the offense in the 2nd half. This weave is fast and creating open looks.

Plus we suck on offense.

Big adjustment after that 15 minute timeout

Izzo won the game

 

[Plum Street]

Too bad that bills game isn’t on now

 

[Dpgru]

Frustrating watching a team that can’t score. Once we fall behind you kind of know it’s over.

 

[Sweet Peas Corner]

You’re the worst.

Tell me he wasn't schooled. Izzo calls time out with RU up 1 and they go on 19-0 run. Most games in BIG he is being outcoached.

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

Pike will mess up Dylan and Ace next year as well. There’s no doubt in my mind

 

[NickRU714]

Just got back from taking kids to movies.

Based on just a couple posts I'm assuming Gavin is a -58 and MSU ha only scored going at him?

 

[PatrickRU92]

Rutgers literally led 36-35 and izzo lit a fire under his team during the timeout and Rutgers crumbled to the floor

Refs had zero to do wth that 19-0 run

the refs had EVERYTHING to do with the deficit at halftime. had everythign to do with Cliff not being able to play defense. no blatant walk on a 3 pointer during the run.

If you want me to tell you that we're better than MSU then keep looking.

But it was NOT a fair game. At all.

 

[Scangg]

Wowowow a guard drove and dished an interior pass!

 

[RW90]

There are plenty of Mid level D1 centers better than him.

Guy was on the all B1G teams. Have you guys seen his backcourt mates?

 

[G- RUnit]

BAC in denial. Refs kept them in the game in the first half. We all knew MSU would make a run in the 2nd half.

Demoralizing

 

[Sweet Peas Corner]

This team has more steam coming from it them my poopoo

 

[G- RUnit]

Davis bad D

 

[BOCA93]

When was GG’s last made 3?

 

[fatsam98]

Let Gavin play the rest of this game

How about cliff not picking up a silly reach in for his 2nd

Ditto for his overthe back 3rd and unnecessary 4th

The whining over refs when we scored 22 bricking bunnies and going 6 min without a fg is why we were down

Then another 6 minute run of 19-0

But the story is the refs..okay

Dude we have no talent. It's a bunch of role players.

 

[NickRU714]

Gavin seems to feel he needs to shoot everytime he gets 1 foot of space.
Almost like he won't get the ball back.

 

[PatrickRU92]

How about cliff not picking up a silly reach in for his 2nd

Ditto for his overthe back 3rd and unnecessary 4th

2 of cliffs 1st half fouls were called AFTER he was hacked going up --niether one was called. if the initial foul was called as it rightfully should have 2 of those fouls would have never happened

 

[Scangg]

Gavin gets into the lane with ease. Stays under control. Makes simple pass to Cliff for bucket

When you're struggling shooting. These are the types of plays that you can make to help the team

 

[Scarlet83]

Am I insane or was that a wildly blatant travel?

He took FOUR steps. No dribble. F&cking officials.

 

[bac2therac]

This team has more steam coming from it them my poopoo

Post of day contender

 

[Sweet Peas Corner]

Dude we have no talent. It's a bunch of role players.

ummmm...who is recruiting them?

Reffing does NOT have everything to do with this lead

MSU executing on offense in this second half. Eg 6-10 from 3 this half

But I agree the officiating has been a little frustrating

 

[bac2therac]

2 of cliffs 1st half fouls were called AFTER he was hacked going up --niether one was called. if the initial foul was called as it rightfully should have 2 of those fouls would have never happened

Cliff easily should have had a dunk on that particular play if he had talent

 

[RUIvyKnight20]

Amazing D there by Cliff………

 

[Sweet Peas Corner]

Seriously...... who wins between men and womans team?

 

[RUBlackout]

Dude we have no talent. It's a bunch of role players.

Bullshit! We have talent but bad coaching with subs allowing players to just play ISO within his offense and trying to be too nice giving players minutes when they shouldnt be on the floor

 

[darkcheck]

BAC in denial. Refs kept them in the game in the first half. We all knew MSU would make a run in the 2nd half.

Demoralizing

How about our 32% shooting from the floor kept them in it

 

[FIJI'83]

Big adjustment after that 15 minute timeout

Izzo won the game

How would Izzo do coaching our player? As good as Pike. However, the most important aspect of coaching is recruiting. Historically, Izzo wins the coaching battle hands down. Will see next year what happens on the road at MSU.

 

[Scarlet83]

Absolutely nothing he absolutely had position and the MSU guy charged into him. Ridiculous

Another fvck call be these officials. They suck.

I can agree with some frustrating calls..fair assessment and RU was hanging in tough despite having to sit Hyatt and Cliff

 

[mildone]

Interior passing.
