Get back to within single digits and .... Oskar??

Shannon walks on every drive.

 

[Scangg]

Players just see Oskar on them and crap their pants and give up the ball

I don’t understand it.

 

[RutgersChow]

His shooting blows..last game overall was an anomoly

Again, I said all around. He's always been a good rebounder and defender, he has decent assist numbers, and he is our best foul shooter. I'll agree his 2 pt. percentage sucks.

 

[willisneverrana43]

We just can't finish around the rim. It's so so frustrating

Or far from the rim. Or less far from the rim. Or . . . . Do you see the pattern?

 

[RU848789]

Oskar!!

 

[RU205]

52-47

 

[bac2therac]

10-3 run and its only 8 pt deficit

 

[cm_13]

I almost had an aneurysm on the blown layup but I guess it worked out?

 

[fatsam98]

Hyatt beautiful fake alley oop pass out for Oskar 3!!

 

[robjknight]

Fernandez leading the charge!

 

[bitnez]

Hyatt - haha but somehow it worked

 

[The RUT]

Crazy

 

[ClassOf02]

Wow, gotta love the fight.

 

[njxchange]

lol.... we are sooo over matched but only down 5...

love the fight...

 

[Shell21]

well that was unexpected. Especially with this lineup we have out there

 

[bac2therac]

52-47

Why am at least a minute behind watching on btn

[GRU23]

Wow finally a few balls bounce our way and all of a sudden its a real game

 

[RW90]

Good time for my first post here. Five point game.

 

[Scangg]

Hyatt absolutely embarrassing

Oskar having a nice stint here with an absolutely massive 3

 

[RU848789]

One thing you can almost always say about Pike teams is that the effort will be there. Great run after going down 15 to get to within 5. If that friggin' goaltending reversal actually affects the game, that will be a travesty.

 

[RUChoppin]

Fernandes needs to keep this level of offensive output to make up for his defense

 

[Ru0822]

Palmquist gets so much hate here and i dont understand it. He is limited in what he can do on both ends of the court and but has solid iq and puts in effort…gavin should take notes

 

[RUby RED]

Team is battling, credit where it’s due. Rotations have felt weird but something clearly clicking at the moment

 

[bitnez]

Credit where it’s due — Fernandes is willing us back into this one.

 

[Sweet Peas Corner]

See I told you

 

[OldManRiver]

Hyatt - haha but somehow it worked

lol...I threw something at my TV and then laughed when Palm hit the 3...what a rollercoaster

 

[RU MAN]

Shannon walks on every drive.

Perfect for the NBA.

 

[bac2therac]

This team does scrap

 

[ClassOf02]

Down 5, but really should be 3.

 

[fatsam98]

I'll take that goaltend back now please

 

[RUBlackout]

Fernandes needs to keep this level of offensive output to make up for his defense

If he plays like that I will root
For him too

 

[rufan4ever]

Maybe us armchair coaches at home are wrong about Noah and Oskar.

 

[The RUT]

Why am at least a minute behind watching on btn

Are you on YouTube TV? Sometimes it loads up a minute behind and you have to jump to “live”

 

[RUJMM78]

Great Rutgers spurt led by Fernandes.Cut Illinois lead to 5 points.Shannon playing poorly for Illinois.

 

[BOCA93]

Shannon walks on every drive

That eurostep is so disjointed the refs just assume he was fouled

 

[robjknight]

Time for the refs to help Illinois.

The call happened in 1st half so dwelling it on as a factor seems weird
