Basketball LIVE THREAD/PREVIEW: Rutgers Hoops versus Michigan

[RUJMM78]

Outplayed by 3 freshman

Michigan recruits top tier recruits that can shoot.The head coach of Illinois in discussing Rutgers said they don't have great shooters.

This is where we have started playing intense defense since we've seen better results. Let's do that again.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

The only one on the court playing worth a damn is Cliff. Give him the ball and let him try to win it on his own. Every other player on the team is a wasted possession when they get the ball. Of course, I said this about 10 times over the previous two years with Myles and they never gave him the ball. I will not be holding my breath.

It's called playing the good hand you got tonight instead of holding for better cards not coming. Don't understand not going with the hot hand .

 

[richthedentist]

Can someone people tell how that is a blocking foul on Paul, but that same play, in the first half, was called a charge on Harper?

And how do they call an illegal pick in the first half when he has the ball

 

[bethlehemfan]

Got crushed on the boards.

 

[Mr Magoo]

No fight in Mulcahy tonight. He’s broken and sulking

 

[cubuffsdoug]

Exactly - it's 9 to 6 in fouls and sure a couple were bad calls, but a couple of bad calls don't make for a 12 point UM lead and them shooting over 50%

But it can cause a team to play soft out of fear. It can and has changed the complexion of the game.

 

[Rokodesh]

Worst shooting team I've ever seen

 

[RW90]

Some threes we're right back in it. Oh wait...

 

[sct1111]

Ice cold

 

[Plum Street]

Mag and Hyatt ugh

 

[Rokodesh]

Desperate at this point

 

[bac2therac]

Are we really running that kind of offense

 

[richthedentist]

Harper got hammered

 

[Rokodesh]

It's amazing how a team can be so horrific on the road and so good at home

 

[rufeelinit]

All 1 on 1. We can't have more assists than Cliff has dunks.

 

[jerzeyguy]

Why couldn't they just show up focused with winning effort. Why do this to themselves smh

 

[cm_13]

Why does this team always insist on doing things the hard way?

 

[richthedentist]

Refs are fine. We suck tonight

Not sure if you watched the first half

 

[Mr Magoo]

Saturday becomes a must win.

 

[rucoe89]

Martelli got Michigan ready to play. Still a solid head coach.

 

[Shell21]

Are we really running that kind of offense

We haven’t run much offense at all tonight starting with the first part of the game. Such a slow pace , no purpose on cutting or moving the ball all night

 

[Rokodesh]

Completely winnable game that they had no interest in

 

[RUTrack94]

MICHIGAN wanted this game …. Out rebounding RU 31 to 18

 

[bac2therac]

Last chance here

 

[MORRISCOUNTY]

This is the old Rutgers team.

Rutgers needed Mulcahy to take over instead he played incredibly sloppy.

I want the Rutgers that blew out Michigan State.

 

[Lions813]

this one's on the kids. Had decent looks and went ice cold.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

At some point are we going to at least attempt a three to cut into the lead. No sense of urgency.

 

[Mr Magoo]

MICHIGAN wanted this game …. Out rebounding RU 31 to 18

Was not impressed with Michigan. We played horrendous.

 

[bac2therac]

Down to 10

 

[bac2therac]

Harper smfh

 

[RU848789]

Had a chance to make a run there and airball by Ron and a trey by Brooks

 

[Plum Street]

Harper airball seals it

 

[bethlehemfan]

Ron and geo 0-7

 

[Rokodesh]

We hit one three all game. Just beat Wisconsin

 

[bac2therac]

Well now its over

Need to keep it under 10

 

[Scangg]

Attack the rim Ron! They can't stop you inside and you haven't made any jumpers

 

[SantaFeScarlet]

It's amazing how a team can be so horrific on the road and so good at home

all B1G Tournament and other post season Tourneys are on the road.

 

[FrankZ]

Wanted that 3 and just saw that

 

[Danprusa_4]
