Basketball LIVE THREAD/PREVIEW: Rutgers Hoops versus Michigan

[Scangg]

1-9 from deep vs. UM 6-18 - there's 15 points of difference right there...

Just like I said at halftime. Whoever makes the 3's this half...

Paul is the key. Everything falls apart when he doesn't play well

 

[T2Kplus20]

Another bomb on the road when we need a win.

Huge bomb. Sad to see this once again.

 

[Plum Street]

Will we press late down 15? And then Martelli calls timeout . Could be interesting

 

[ColonelRutgers]

One bad whistle on Paul shouldn’t mean that much but I guess it did. And picking up that third was on him. The exact opposite attitude by Paul vs his Northwestern game. Not sure what to say about Geo. We needed him tonight and he was dreadful.

 

[rucoe89]

If Rutgers loses tonight its clear NCAA talk is premature. They can win out (not on bubble). If they lose one or more NIT may be more likely as the bubble will not be kind. Just can't lose these games.

 

[Knightmoves]

1-9 on 3 point tries has hurt us this game.

 

[FIJI'83]

No one picked PM up tonight. Geo and bench let him down.

 

[RU848789]

Down 11. We did come back from down 8 against OSU with less than 3 minutes left

 

[RUTrack94]

Wow … passing … what a concept.

 

[tfio]

Forget it … Wisconsin will take it to you, Indy will play out of their mind, then PSU will get that 20 point lead at the RAC where RU closes the gap with a loss … finish up 16-14

Well…that escalated quickly

 

[Plum Street]

Harper showed . Cliff showed . McConnell kinda showed.

 

[Ridge 22]

Outside of a few random moments, Geo has morphed into a very average player

 

[RU848789]

No one picked PM up tonight. Geo and bench let him down.

Huh? Paul let the team down tonight with his whiny, crappy play.

 

[FrankZ]

Get Ron out. Need that hand on Saturday

 

[Scangg]

We finally run a play and score

 

[MORRISCOUNTY]

Paul with a very sloppy game, but the rest of team was in a fog.

This game was so important, and yet the team had no fire.

 

[blueoyster]

LOL....truth!!

 

[RUJMM78]

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

Dickinson has controlled around the basket taking Mulcahy out of the game .Baaker is a no show and the the bench no scoring.help.Harper had a good scoring game without a 3 pointer.

 

[RU89]

Down 11. We did come back from down 8 against OSU with less than 3 minutes left

ummmmmmmmmm......at home

 

[Shell21]

How about we make one adjustment on that pick and roll and replace. Just one please

 

[rtabachk]

Rebounds 33-20 Michigan ....3s 1/9 v 6/19 michigan

 

[RU848789]

Now it's over - another bad TO by Paul after Ron not closing out Houstan - just bad all around.

 

[fatsam98]

Is Paul drunk. Ffs

 

[FrankZ]

Houstan 3 was never in doubt. Not one stinking iota

 

[rucoe89]

Last two game emphasize what we know - Pikiell needs to find shooters in portal. He can teach them defense.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Our freaking 5th year God is doing absolutely nothing in his 3rd straight game at the end of his career. 2 games in a row with zero rebounds. 24 points in 7 halves. % sucks too. He's checked out. Some Captain.

 

[Caliknight]

Dagger. Hats off to Michigan. They hit shots. Many of which were contested threes

Great offense can be beat great defense.

We didn't hit our 3 chances.

 

[RW90]

Another career game against us.

 

[FrankZ]

Cliff has to show how it’s done from 3 smh

 

[fatsam98]

Cliff says fck all of you and does it himself

 

[Rokodesh]

Cliff is a better shooter than Geo

 

[Scangg]

Geo can't even pad his stats

#LetCliffCook

 

[cm_13]

Of course that one goes down for Cliff

 

[richthedentist]

That was a backcourt violation

 

[RUTrack94]

Well … looked forward all week to this game to see a crap show … it’s one thing to play well and lose, but this was just pathetic

 

[SantaFeScarlet]

why didn't we attack Dickinson from the start of the game....

 

[Rokodesh]

Pathetic disgraceful loss

 

[Caliknight]

Call a timeout!

 

[cm_13]

Well that was dogshit.

 

[rucoe89]

Good job by Michigan. They were down and out, needed a win and came ready to play. They deserve the win.
