Basketball INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers Basketball falls to Minnesota 81-70

Rutgers commits a foul with 2 seconds remaining in first half.Half time score 37-37.
 
Not crazy about our defense thus far- can’t double the post with their guards. And Payne is abusing Cliff, although obviously Cliff is doing great.
 
sad offense by us at the end there---get it inside to Cliff earlier in the shot clock and maybe he can kick it out for a better jumper

Replace Hyatt's poor minutes with Mag second half is a reason for optimism

Can Cliff keep up this play on the offensive end 2nd half is a big question mark

RU needs to start transitioning quicker but need change speeds at the hoop...making it way too easy to block shots out of control
 
Can’t be too upset being tied 37-37 on the road in the Barn. Offense played pretty well.

But the defense did not play well at all. I guess we’re overplaying the perimeter to limit threes, but the interior defense has been allowing too many looks at the rim.

Pike needs to figure out how to contain Payne while still playing good perimeter defense.
 
Need to play smarter. Did everything we could to give up the lead.
