Basketball INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers Basketball falls to No. 14 Illinois 86-63

[DennisHajekRC84]

We're just at not a very smart team.

 

[bac2therac]

Same shit different toilet, this team plays good at times but overall not good enough

Illinois has a slew of options

Tough to beat up on RU for losing today

 

[bethlehemfan]

The minute the trapped Cliff I knew he was going to turn it over. Seen that movie many times before.

Derek could have helped by making himself available but just sort of drifted

 

[Sweet Peas Corner]

WHY ARE WE NOT PLAYING ZONE DEFENSE?!?! Illinois is getting down hill and getting layups on every possession, and we’re not switching to zone?!?! WTF?!?!

Stop...Pike is a real good coach

 

[RUJMM78]

In the end Illinois has more talented players .Cliff playing great game but needs help from teammates.

 

[Scangg]

Derek getting killed by Harmon

Drive strong at Derek and he can't stop you. Just doesn't have the mass to bother anyone or body them up

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

easily 10 pts for Illi on walks not called

 

[ScarletDave]

Got it to 4 and surprise surprise Shannon makes 2 bully ball baskets and puts it out of reach. Completely changed the game. We’d have won without him I know it. Illinois crumbled against Maryland at home, theyre lost without him. Complete robbery by him playing

Lots of seasoned upperclassmen as well.

 

[bac2therac]

Good play J Mike..next year he finishes

 

[NickRU714]

Our next successful fast break will be our first.

 

[biazza38]

Clear out by Hawkins

 

[BOCA93]

Where has this Cliff been all year?

 

[bac2therac]

At full strength and on there A game Illinois is final 4 contender

 

[RUblackshirt2006]

Refs really inserted themselves when Rutgers got close…

 

[BillyC80]

RU made it a game, but Illinois is just too talented.

 

[Scangg]

Derek getting abused over and over again on D, but Gavin with 0 minutes in 2nd half.

Sad. He should be in now

 

[sct1111]

Haha. Tell me you don't follow recruits without telling me you don't follow recruits.

Nah.

Somerville can handle the ball but he's a very different player from Hawkins. Hawkins is a jack of all trades type.

 

[rubs]

Defense just horrible

He's only charged with rape...no big thing to Illinois fans

 

[NickRU714]

Very nice passing on that Hyatt missed 3.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Derek getting abused over and over again on D, but Gavin with 0 minutes in 2nd half.

Then we’ll wonder when he’s gone.

 

[FIJI'83]

Good play J Mike..next year he finishes

Dribbling behind the back caused turnover. Not smart basketball.

 

[rucoe89]

We are not a smart basketball team at all.

 

[biazza38]

Wtf am I watching
I turned it on at 60-51

 

[pd10124]

We can make shots for about a minute then back to not being able to buy a bucket.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Tough game for AW

 

[RAC93]

Grown men vs. boys

 

[RU848789]

Oh well, nice run, but they're just better and getting the whistle.

 

[NickRU714]

A Williams needs to come to 2nd grade basketball next Saturday.

Use left hand for a layup on left side

 

[BillyC80]

I think Eurostep means Shannon could have walked to Europe.

 

[Mr Magoo]

WHY ARE WE NOT PLAYING ZONE DEFENSE?!?! Illinois is getting down hill and getting layups on every possession, and we’re not switching to zone?!?! WTF?!?!

Have you seen our zone? It’s like and 8th grade team.

 

[ClassOf02]

Sad. He should be in now

It’s driving me nuts. I’m still a long term buy on GG, but the guy needs to get real B1G minutes, not just practice.

 

[bac2therac]

Please play Gavin to get him experience

Criminal by Pike

 

[essexknight]

Domask had the best stiff arm I have seen since Monangai in the Pinstripe Bowl

 

[G- RUnit]

JMike is not a point guard and not a good enough shooter. Not the future.

 

[bethlehemfan]

How is that not a charge

 

[biazza38]

Tell me how that’s a block on Noah
The ball handler just ran right into him
What an f’ing joke of a call

It’s not even debatable. Pretty easy call in real speed. You can even call that a travel on Shannon. I hate this sport

 

[RUby RED]

Lol **** that call

 

[RAC93]

Mag sucked today
