Basketball INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers defeats Nebraska 87-82 in OT thriller

[fatsam98]

Derek defending Tominaga well. Fun battle to watch

 

[blueoyster]

His confidence is shot. He’s hesitating too much.

Just said same thing to my fellow seatmates...he is very indecisive.

 

[Scangg]

The overall team stats are very even. Tie game appropriate. We could be winning if we could score effectively around the rim and hit FTs

 

[Degaz-RU]

Rutgers doing a solid job of defending Mast in the high post, and when he backs down Hyatt.

 

[RuWishBone]

Does Pike coach to just make to halftime and see what happens next?

 

[Scangg]

Rutgers doing a solid job of defending Mast in the high post, and when he backs down Hyatt.

Hyatt has a low center of gravity and doing an excellent job bodying him up. The help D with length cliff/mag once he goes into his moves is really bothering him

 

[Scangg]

Does Pike coach to just make to halftime and see what happens next?

Weird comment. Pike wins halftime plenty

 

[bac2therac]

Nebby under pressure to win this game for ncaa tourney purposes

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers must come out in the second half playing high level basketball.This is a winnable game but it will probably require scoring at least 70 points.

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Gonna lose by 40

I'm done watching. This is Eddie Jordan vs Louisville bad

I think a decent high school team in jersey would beat this team by double digits

Please Go Root for Louisville.

You are a pathetic excuse for a fan.

 

[jerzeyguy]

I wanna see Mag, Hyatt - get switched on to Tominga an post him up

 

[Degaz-RU]

Need to hit FTs in 2nd half. 5-11 ain’t gonna get it done.

I’m now convinced that part of our FT woes is due to practicing in the Barnabas APC court instead of the RAC. Different background and depth perception.

 

[BillyC80]

Simpson with a couple nice assists. Austin with a couple of nice drives. Gotta make foul shots! Gavin finally came through with a trey. Cliff some good blocks. Hyatt looks good too. Great save by Wolf. Noah made a shot. A lot of contributors so far.

 

[RU Mike73]

Hey Bac please stop with the “Nebby”. No one refers to them as that. Just silly.

 

[robjknight]

What about foul on Simpson drive

 

[Scangg]

Magnificent baseline drive and dish for a 3!

Of course Hyatt immediately fouls ughhh

 

[Scangg]

Simpson has been doing a much better job weak side rebounding

 

[RedTeam1994]

Tominaga - ridiculous carry

 

[Scangg]

Simpson setting the tone! Tough 3 and great hustle

 

[bac2therac]

Tominaga unleashed...as decoy and shooter

Nice move by Hoiberg

 

[RU Mike73]

Hands, my kingdom for some hands on a B1G man.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Wolf is a terrible rebounder

 

[RU-Hunter]

Where’s the foul on Cliff

 

[RedTeam1994]

Good for you PIke!!

How the f$ck do they miss that rake on the arm?!?

 

[Scangg]

Big minutes for Noah here. Give us something please

 

[richthedentist]

That may have been the worst call I have ever seen

 

[BillyC80]

Pikiell’s first T!

 

[richthedentist]

Pikiell’s first T!

Second

 

[mtm183]

Crowd loves the pike T

 

[tm_nj]

Pike finally getting pissed with the calls!

 

[Miggins]

Refs got the memo. Nebraska really needs this game

 

[Scangg]

Cliff absolutely mugged but he was in the lane forever before he got the ball and should have been 3 seconds

 

[rubjk]

He was right that was f’kin bs

 

[Plum Street]

That may have been the worst call I have ever seen

I mean when you said mag didn’t have an acl injury was pretty bad since you know because you are dentist was bad took. But this is worse !

 

[RUbacker]

Pikiell’s first T!

If things weren’t bad enough here come the refs now doing what they do

 

[BillyC80]

Second

This year?

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Oh my God. Steve Pikiel just got a T. Thank you Jesus. Wow. Hurray! Good for him. Finally!

 

[bethlehemfan]

How can you miss that foul seriously.

 

[Corycord1]

That was ridiculous. Two clear fouls in one possession. Cliff hugged in the entry pass then hacked on the dunk attempt. Seriously wtf are the refs looking at?

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

This year?

Ever at Rutgers.
