Basketball LIVE GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Indiana

[ScarletDave]

Geo playing like he hasn’t missed 3 games. In contrast, Myles playing like he missed a game (he basically did) .. needs to find his groove again, it’s like he’s forgotten his moves inside to get good buckets

 

[FrankZ]

Also wont pop up in the box but geo diving for loose balls and then leading to buckets is worth more than just points

Agreed. Monstrous plays.

 

[bac2therac]

Myles has 1 rebound


Carter is a huge dropoff

 

[DHajekRC84]

Mulcahy will be fine and he contributes. Let’s remember Harper had 4 turnovers in the first half against IL.

I think this game requires him less handling the ball and more as a small forward. Frankly I see him as more of that than up top anyway. A hybrid spot.
A new and better Andrew kobiestkey or whatever has last name was.

 

[bac2therac]

Pikiell usually wins halftime so watch the first few RU offensive plays

 

[Scangg]

Myles doing nothing and up at the half. Need more Young. His defense is elite. He brings speed no one else has. He can get to the basket and create off the dribble. Young is becoming our best player.

 

[bac2therac]

Young needs to still be careful in trying to do too much

 

[FrankZ]

Need good Myles back please. Needs to avoid 2nd foul for at least 4 minutes too.

 

[BillyC80]

He knocked down a huge 3 late and is our best connection to getting Myles going

And just prior to that 3 he had a huge hustle offensive rebound while getting clobbered underneath. The kid leaves it all out there and is not afraid to mix it up against big time competition.This will be another step in his development.

 

[RUDave_01]

I doubt Indy goes 0 off 8 from 3 in the 2nd half. Hopefully the D continues to clamp down in general. Make their lives difficult in the halfcourt.

2019 version of Darius Griffith for us older fans

Be nice if the announcers mentioned us once in a while.

I agree. I think it’s time to can the “player X isn’t ready Pike!” talk .. clearly Pike’s lineups have done wonders given how we’ve done without Geo and now everyone can step up at any time

 

[FrankZ]

Big Caleb

 

[BillyC80]

Caleb backing down his man!

 

[FrankZ]

Call that foul it’s OK

 

[koleszar]

Myles playing tentative tonight. Get mean young man and assert your authority.

 

[BillyC80]

Caleb showing his will to win tonight.

 

[RUsince52]

Too bad MJ can't face up once in awhile.

 

[BillyC80]

My God this color commentator loves Indiana

He played for Wiscy but sure loves him some Hoosiers

 

[BillyC80]

Pikiell won halftime

You called it. We start off on a 7-0 run to double our lead.

 

[ScarletDave]

This announcer needs to get back to Bloomington and coach his sons rec league team or put a sock in it. Shut up my guy let the RAC do the speaking

 

[RUsince52]

I doubt Indy goes 0 off 8 from 3 in the 2nd half. Hopefully the D continues to clamp down in general. Make their lives difficult in the halfcourt.

Take advantage by grabbing the rebounds while their cold on threes.

 

[FrankZ]

Yeboah 11 pts at 4-5 and 2-3 from the beloved 3 land is more than I can ask

 

[jordkap]

Pikiell won halftime

Now lay more haymakers

This game is close to being a blowout, next 4 minutes are huge

 

[bac2therac]

T on archie

 

[koleszar]

and the lead is back............

Yes in the heat of the game I will tend to let my emotions play out as the game unfolds. I'll admit I'm not Nostradamus and can't predict the future. If I could, my life would be stress free.

 

[PatrickRU92]

suck it archie
