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

[gmay8]

Rutgers was going to lose either way.
But the crowd cheering an “alleged” rapist is disgusting.

 

[PatrickRU92]

what was point of not starting Shannon if you are going play him 2.5 mins in? and please with the "integrate him back in " bullsh!t

 

[bitnez]

In the end Underwood holding him out actually made it worse because of the crowd going nuts for this guy.

 

[RUisB1Gtime]

Have to be aggressive and force the refs to call a foul

Did you think they would boo??? Really? They’re sports fans.

 

[RexMantlepiece]

I'm sorry, an alleged "incident." Weak description by the announcers.

This really pissed me off as well.

 

[RUJMM78]

Shannon sits for less than two minutes and dribbles downcourt on two fast breaks leading to Illinois dunks.

Yeah not sure I understand that. never thought he would be cheered .

I don’t think he actually dribbled the ball once on that second one. Was bobbling the ball the entire way down the floor.

 

[BillyC80]

Playing scared

 

[robjknight]

Great look for Illinois and Underwood. Holds Shannon out for 2 minutes and big cheers for the accused felon. What the hell?

Because his guardian who was with him said he didn’t see him grab the females private parts. And winning is more than anything for Illinois

 

[essexknight]

I‘m surprised that they played him given the charges. I probably should not have been.

JW should hire Shannon’s lawyers.

 

[cm_13]

Oskar caught watching a rebound instead of grabbing it.

 

[Scangg]

Noah not even close from a few feet away wide open

 

[The RUT]

Horrible lineup on the court right now

 

[RutHut]

Get Oskar out.

 

[bitnez]

Bad shooting, Oskar early, rinse, repeat

 

[rufan4ever]

Pike's rotations are certainly questionable. Noah and Oskar early on?

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Palm whiffs on a rebound block out smh

 

[RuBird]

Oskar best play of the game for him

 

[Scangg]

Excellent D from Oskar there

 

[The RUT]

JMIKE
Oskar
Hyatt
Fernandes
Woolf

In what would should these 5 be out there together?

 

[RAC93]

This team could not hit water if they all fell out of a boat

 

[cm_13]

5 of Illinois’ first 12 points coming off of offensive rebounds.

 

[RU848789]

We're just an awful shooting team. It's a simple game - if you can't shoot, you're not going to win. We've had great shots, but can't even hit the easy ones.

 

[fatsam98]

Make a goddamn shot. It's unreal

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Horrible lineup on the court right now

Getting killed on the boards and they can't shoot why Pike why

 

[ClassOf02]

Do not understand this rotation at all.

Illinois not shooting all that well, but cleaning up on the offensive glass.

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers has four points in the first six minutes.Hawkins killing Rutgers with offensive rebounds.

 

[bac2therac]

Not matching Illinois intensity

 

[Scangg]

Wolf great position. Nice move. No finish

Whole team just can't hit even easy shots consistently

Pike and these lineups are abysmal!!! He isn’t learning

 

[kt124]

we need players who can score at least somewhat reliably our offense is so pitiful, thank god we’re getting some isolation studs next year

I don’t understand going to that lineup at all, let alone about 5 minutes into the game

 

[RUChoppin]

Fernandes is absolutely useless in the paint defensively. And he seems to keep getting switched onto guys that are 10 in taller than he is

 

[fatsam98]

More please Noah

 

[ClassOf02]

OK Noah…that was nice.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Palmquist useless

 

[The RUT]

lol how is he on the team?

 

[bethlehemfan]

Palmquist useless

Brutal
