Basketball INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers Basketball falls to No. 24 Illinois 76-58

Rutgers on the cusp if they can just stick to it a little more

Really going to require focus and chop

Right lineups and subs. Illinois has certainly left the door open

We shall see if Underwood can make adjustments to the pressure if not I like Rutgers chances with a raucous crowd
 
Shannon is a STUD.

2 god damn mid range jumpers(misses) early in the shot clock at the end of the 1st half.STOOOOOP.

Wolf showing to be a better offensive player than cliff.

Hyatt, Simpson and Michaels each miss layups and cliff misses the dunk. Add in 7 miss layups (really 6 but I also count the back end of the 1and1 cliff didn't get).

Did ill miss any layups?

If they protect the ball in the 2nd half, we are toast. We need to get 12 2nd half TO's.

And great coaching.

The right people in the game..Austin and Wolf J Mike too
 
Simpson needs to start finishing his fast breaks or start passing on them. Think he is like 2-15 on season
i think he needs to get stronger and bulk up some... I know he thinks he will lose his quickness but i think one of reasons he cant finish at the rim is because he is WEAK
 
If we could hit layups and FTs, thus game would be a blowout.
Definitely way too many missed shots in the paint. I always wonder how much our defensive intensity causes a slight drop in focus when shooting, which is all it takes to creat misses the player would otherwise make.
 
Rebounding is awful on this team, Wolf and Cliff need to get more board than they do. Cliff is useless if he’s not getting boards, no offensive game at all.
 
Illinois had 30 point in first 12 minutes but only 11 over next 8

Ru wont win shootout but they managed to slow them down. Need to keep them under 70

Hit free throws. Make the easy layups given to us. Rebound the damn ball. Easy peasy. Let’s win this damn game.

not having cliff in hurts our interior defense but that’s about it. slows us down on offense and still has no post moves

One year into Rutgers strength and conditioning and he still looks like a high school Junior. Kid hasn't put on an ounce of size and he gets tossed like a gnat.
 
Just keep Cliff on the bench. He looks completely "blah" yet again today.

...and ANOTHER made layup for The Illini lol!
