This score deserves to be tied... so evenly matched... good game
Derek has a nice bounce in his game tonight…at least until that horrific mistake at end
JWill needs to put it in another gear 2nd half like he did vs. NW.
Is the barn supposed to be a tough venue? Seems like a morgue
We should have the lead Hyatt can’t make an important shot
3 bad shots by him in a row
Not sure what I think about that half. Can we sustain this level of offense? I don't think our defense was bad but we probably need to keep them under 68 to win this one. Did not like how we finished the half with some very questionable shot selection. No fadeaways wanted from Cliff and we got bad Hyatt that half. Minnesota is good especially at home. I like their size and athleticism.
Good half.
Bring it home, RU!
Grab that first 5 game B1G streak!!!

Expecting more JWill and Cliff pick and rolls and trying to slow the pace to our strength. NEED to continue going to the rim and getting fouls. We’ll see more Mag for the D and better double teams- that lacked. End of game free throws will be crucial
RU guards need to stop allowing penetration on the dribble. The BIG is stepping up & Minny Big is cutting to basket w/o the ball. JM, JW &DS you need to move your feet and beat the PG to the SPOT which will take Payne & the other dude out of the picture....at that point Cliff needs to grab boards
not calling the walks on Minnie . Hawkins and Payne at least 5 walks.
Mag sat most of the half with 2 fouls. Should help 2nd half and having Cliff with just one foul will be helpful until the refs figure it out during the half to give him 2 quick ones in the 2nd half.

Yeah. I think Rutgers needs to keep them under 70 and really deny those passes into the paint
Looks like he's playing on a bad ankle, the one he tweaked against Wisconsin
I mean, our place is an utter dump too. But at least we get a massive home court advantage from our dump.
I would like to get there for a game. Not sure how likely that is since I have never even made it the Palestra for game although I have been inside that facility.
