Basketball LIVE GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Northwestern

[newell138]

I just saw a fat lady she was warming up

 

[TonyLieske]

Great job by our guys to limit NU extending their lead. Still plenty of time left...our guys are about to go on a run.

 

[RUsince52]

Young has to get to the basket to draw some fouls.

 

[Pancho1939]

We are terrible defensively today but it doesn’t help that we have not had one call go our way. Not one. Every charge, every block, every illegal screen has gone against us. If we are going to build some momentum we need a call or two..l they have stopped us at least 4 times..

mulcahy needs to come out. We are in a game down 14 and we need points. Mulcahy dribbling into the lane to stop and look around or leave wide open shots. Need scoring

that being said crowd is great tonight.

 

[RUsince52]

Where's the continuation ?

 

[FrankZ]

And crap foul on floor

 

[Pancho1939]

Holy cow as I type this ref takes away momentum. Puts us right back into half court sets

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

I still think we'll win.. but this will affect us negatively for the next few games

 

[B0ski]

Never thought I would say it but Carter bringing more than Johnson.

Nice 2 points there paul

yeah.. that was AND-1 if anything was

 

[FrankZ]

Sidestep 3s only Geo. Only hope

 

[rucoe89]

Northwestern playing like we were 3 weeks ago. Aggressive and with confidence.

 

[bac2therac]

After getting 2 stops allowing them get ball back and score there was huge..3 chances

Meanwhile we are blowing bunnies

 

[FrankZ]

Northwestern playing like we were 3 weeks ago. Aggressive and with confidence. This Rutgers team is in full regression right now.

Yep

 

[RUsince52]

Can't buy one either.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

This is just a bad basketball team. Im sure one of these sites tracks it but theres no shot we dont lead america in missed layups

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Point is nobody..,repeat NOBODY having a game for Rutgers.

 

[RU205]

get this to under 10 with 10 to go. The crowd is loud

 

[RU205]

41-54. 11:39 left

 

[richthedentist]

Mulcahy cost us on defense leaves his guy wide open again and then can’t go up strong on a layup

 

[BillyC80]

Carter has his moments but he had no hands on that rebound. Cost us 2 points.

 

[RUby RED]

Does Geo practice stand still 3’s? Swear he only makes step-backs

 

[newell138]

So many missed layups

 

[bac2therac]

Its getting about time to get this under 10..just cannot do it

 

[rucoe89]

get this to under 10 with 10 to go. The crowd is loud

Gotta get baskets for that. We haven't been able to buy a basket in two weeks.

 

[Pancho1939]

Nice 2 points there paul

yup. Then next play he watches as a ball is thrown across court to his guy in the corner about 7 feet in the air... he then missed a layup... I am not going to go after guys but mulacahy has been awful today. Not getting over screens, not scoring, missing block outs... bad

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Northwestern playing like we were 3 weeks ago. Aggressive and with confidence.

that's right.. we've been streaky.. having negative and positive runs all season.. but where's the 12-2 run we need now?

 

[mikemarc1]

This is just a bad basketball team. Im sure one of these sites tracks it but theres no shot we dont lead america in missed layups

I’ve said this from day one. We play EXTREMELY HARD on defense that wins us games. But we are not very good.

 

[BillyC80]

Was that off of NW guy’s knee?

 

[richthedentist]

That was a goaltending on the Mulcahy layup the guy hit the net

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

If there was EVER a game Pike needs to get a T....just to wake them up ...thus is it.
Could be the season right here. Trends have been terrible if late ..

 

[BOCA93]

This is so frustrating. One of the few times they break down the zone and get an open look PM misses the layup. Running out of time

 

[IL Lusciato]

This is just a bad basketball team. Im sure one of these sites tracks it but theres no shot we dont lead america in missed layups

Yes. We had a crazy run with relentless defense and effort for a couple games, but this is just a bad basketball team. Deserves every bit of the 12th prediction. Anywhere from 12-14 is the caliber of this team. Maybe they will get better as the kids become Jrs and Srs but I doubt it. No one has improved.

 

[FrankZ]

1-13 from 3. Recruit somebody who can shoot please.

 

[RUTrack94]

On a brighter note ... Jo Jo pulled a reversal in 2 OT versus Lipari for the win! ... RU up 10-0 over Rider!

 

[RUsojo]

You can tell this team doesn’t practice offense.

I cringed in the pregame when Pike was asked about Geos slump and he said he only watched defensive tape with Geo all week.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Mulcahy cost us on defense leaves his guy wide open again and then can’t go up strong on a layup

will you climb outta the kid's ass already? you are being a real jerk

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

yup. Then next play he watches as a ball is thrown across court to his guy in the corner about 7 feet in the air... he then missed a layup... I am not going to go after guys but mulacahy has been awful today. Not getting over screens, not scoring, missing block outs... bad

Exactly who has been good?

 

[FrankZ]

Must make and that
