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

[tm_nj]

if Derek could have made that 3. sigh

 

[zappaa]

Hyatt on the bench 4 minutes left

 

[mildone]

Ron buries that lagging behind 3pt shot

Except when he didn’t. 🙂

 

[rucoe89]

We are such a weak team in the paint. Other teams just slap the crap out of us.

 

[RutgersChow]

They need to just lob it to the guy.

They give him the ball so far from the basket and expect him to do something

Unless it's an alley-oop, he sucks no matter where you give hm the ball.

 

[kcg88]

Hyatt and Cliff can't be on the floor for the last 5 minutes?

 

[RU Mike73]

Constantly out of control driving against 3 guys.

 

[NickRU714]

What's been worse?
Williams FTs or his drives?

 

[Scangg]

Williams great drive and dish leads to no points

 

[The RUT]

Unless it's an alley-oop, he sucks no matter where you give hm the ball.

He looked pretty good there lol

 

[BillyC80]

That’s it, get mad Cliff!

 

[RU Mike73]

CLIFF

 

[rucoe89]

Finally! - Cliff WITH AUTHORITY. That needs to be the expectation.

 

[bac2therac]

6 min no fg for Nebby

Thread the needle Pike

70

 

[Scangg]

That's the Cliff we need!!!

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

best offensive play from Cliff all year

 

[tm_nj]

another and 1 on Cliff missed by the refs. they all add up

 

[shields]

Get a stop.

 

[mildone]

We are such a weak team in the paint.

Except when we’re not. 🙂

 

[robjknight]

Rutgers doubling up nebby 18-9 on the offensive glass 🤣

Problem is we don't get the basket off the rebound too many times.

 

[bac2therac]

This is a battle of who is tougher right now

 

[kcg88]

In November this did not look like a Pikiell team. Now we do. So at least there's that.

It might be a Year 3 Pikiell team, but still.

 

[RUGiddy777]

That's the Cliff we need!!!

RAC must have exploded. Nothing fires us up like Cliff with authority.

 

[RU Mike73]

Pull this out boys.

 

[BillyC80]

Wish we already had the lead. Gotta find a way…

 

[RutgersChow]

He looked pretty good there lol

Best inside move he has made in four years.

 

[koleszar]

Down the stretch they are not calling this the same both ways.

 

[bethlehemfan]

8-4 fouls

 

[rucoe89]

Tripped on himself, but whistle on Mag. Helen Keller could be a Big Ten Basketball Official.

 

[RedTeam1994]

Down the stretch they are not calling this the same both ways.

Overall the game has been reffed just fine

For example that foul just now on mast - ru fans would be complaining big time had such a fouls been called on us

 

[kcg88]

Down the stretch they are not calling this the same both ways.

We don't get foul calls because we drive straight into defenders to create contact instead of creating angles to put defenders out of position.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Take away points with that foul call lol.

 

[FrankZ]

8-4 fouls

But of course

 

[Scangg]

13 2nd chance points on 20 OREB is not ideal

 

[Plum Street]

Homecourt advantage is only as good as the players on the court.
Doesn't matter how great it is if the players aren't making shots.

That’s not true. The rac lifted crappy teams to nice victories .

 

[bac2therac]

Nebby choking and Cliff chomping

 

[Scangg]

Then we actually get a whistle when we don't need it

 

[NickRU714]

There was a whistle

 

[bethlehemfan]

Refs don’t matter haha.

 

[FrankZ]

lol refs.clowns
