Basketball LIVE GAME THREAD: No. 24/25 Rutgers vs. No. 19 Iowa

As a side note, I'm not sure there is a softer team in the big ten than Michigan after watching those highlights. If our team played like that, I'd worry they all had the flu
 
We can’t sustain it. Remember Illinois LAST year. We played that crazy style and kept it close but still lost. Got it grind it down in the second half.


I RU keeps them in the 70s we can win this, its the pace in the 80s and 90s thats the issue. I think its all with defense, Iowa has a bad defense themselves so RU almost by default has to play a quicker pace to take advantage of it

Garza was huge earlier but Garza did not score the last 7 minutes,. I dont want Pike said in that timeout but it worked and Pike usually wins halftime

So does the T help Iowa get calls in the 2nd half?
Yes. And If foul a thon it doesn't favor us. Frans a dick but not stupid.
He wanted something to get after his guys at the half. Seriously doubt we can shoot that well 2h. So what do we need? Defense. What can refs take away from us? Defense.

God give me this one...please.

That was a fun half of basketball . Even if the other team scored 38. Give me that with no fouls called every time instead of fouls every other possession. I love watching BASKETBALL not a free throw contest! Most boring part of the game. Let these two ranked teams put on a show
 
Who are these imposters shooting the ball in red
We have shown on occasion we can do this...just not consistently. That’s what I’m concerned with in the second half. If this team ever became more efficient offensively....wow.
 
I would love RU to win this by 2 - those 2 being the free throws they make to start the 2cd half

I have always hated McCaffrey but this Iowa team is prob the best or 2cd best team in the BIG - and they are missing 2 of their best players - Bohannon and little McCaffrey

How the h*** do they find that many Larry Birds in the middle of bumf**k Iowa

I would rather win by 12 so I don't have heart attack
 
We need to hold them to low 70s. Not winning this game in a shootout
 
Please make these. Please. Pretty please.

And Myles stay away from the foul.
 
That T on their coach could be huge – hit 2 FTs to start and we’re up 7. But we know they can rain treys, so we can’t let our guard down on defense. They also go 8-9 deep, like we do, so I doubt getting tired will be an issue for either team. Also, can we keep shooting like this? I could easily see the 2nd half being a slower, more grind it out half, which would normally be to our advantage. Garza’s also killing us inside, but at least we’re not in foul trouble, especially Myles. Going to be a fun 2nd half.
