Basketball LIVE THREAD/PREVIEW: Rutgers Hoops versus Wisconsin

[koleszar]

Dropping like a rock. From shoe in to out in the course of 3 games.

 

[GRU23]

Seasons not over, but little wiggle room left

 

[jkernpop]

Won’t feel good unless we win both final 2 to get in

 

[ScottRU93]

4-17 just not good enough. Recruit shooters

Never happening.

 

[scottsdaleal]

Just so poorly coached

Hit free throws and we win…we are who we are.

 

[bac2therac]

12 is alot of losses

 

[Mr Magoo]

Bball I

Seasons not over, but little wiggle room left

Might have to win 3 now though.

 

[richthedentist]

Bball IQ

Lacking

 

[fluoxetine]

Not sure why people are complaining about Geos last shot.. it was a completely broken play and only 8 seconds left at that point

 

[MadRU]

 

[RUsojo]

2 tough games coming up people sleeping on Penn st

 

[biazza38]

Surely we won’t lay an egg on the road at Indiana

 

[FrankZ]

Never happening.

Oh I know. He recruits who he recruits. From a guy who loves shooting, I’ll have to live with it.

 

[Scangg]

At least we have owned Indiana recently

 

[njcanesfan]

The boards talk about Pikes lack of offense a lot. But if we had one two shooters I think we wouldn’t event mention it. I hate seeing teams get the same 10-15ft looks and knock them down but we can’t do that consistently.

 

[RUsojo]

Not Geos fault at all. Pike continues to waste time outs we had 2 TO with under 2 mins left he always uses his too early and always after RU makes where our defense is already set

 

[rume]

no one to blame but ourselves tonight. Didn't play well enough.

Back to the team that cannot shoot well. Cliff and Paul both really struggled.
Team played hard on defense, but that is not enough. Need to be able to score the basketball.

On him to recruit that. Fixable

 

[MadRU]

Two teams we beat on the road beat us at home. Should never happen.

 

[RUsojo]

When you play Jalen Miller this much your just not gonna score the ball well.

 

[Big boy stan]

That was exhausting to watch

 

[bac2therac]

Its a complete breakdown for a veteran team to panic on a game tying shot at home

 

[RUfubar]

Lots of bricks and air balls that you just don't see other teams doing

 

[Mr Magoo]

2 tough games coming up people sleeping on Penn st

Penn state might not be as talented but they are easily as tough as us.

 

[Plum Street]

Yep . And not miller’s fault . Kid balled out on defensive end .

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Not sure why people are complaining about Geos last shot.. it was a completely broken play and only 8 seconds left at that point

Did you see Harper's reaction ..he was just outside the line a lot closer and wanted the shot. Stood there, looked at Geo and shook his head .

 

[bac2therac]

Might have to win 3 now though.

No..2

We needed Miller to slow down Hepburn on offense. But he is a non factor when we have the ball.

 

[Scangg]

Miller was excellent tonight. Huge reason we were even in the game late

 

[shields]

Beating Wisconsin twice is tough, have to get real. Their road record is really good.

 

[bac2therac]

Also agree it wasnt Geos fault..collective what the **** moments by veterans

 

[Plum Street]

I thought the last possession was screwed up by mulcahy . He almost turned it over and made that desperation pass to Caleb .
But maybe the breakdown happened before that ?

 

[FrankZ]

Miller a main reason we had a shot

 

[Knightmoves]

Only 5 points from the RU bench tonite. Hyatt 3 and Mag 2.

Reiber missed a chippie inside in 2nd half.

Too many empty possessions late in the game.

 

[RobotHunter]

Needed to go for a quick 2 there and go for steal and/or foul again. Plenty of time for that.

 

[Plum Street]

The word must be out among big ten officials to not give Paul any calls

 

[FrankZ]

The word must out among big ten officials to not give Paul any calls

Yeah can pen him in for 4 fouls minimum going forward too

 

[RU MAN]

Still proud of this team. The FT failed them today, and that IMO would have been the difference. Once against we came out slow, and I have no idea why. As for the game, we had our chances and blew it at the end. Give Wisconsin credit. They made their shots when it counted.

I'm concerned we now are officially on the bubble. We HAVE TO BEAT PSU. I just don't think we're going to beat Indiana in Indiana. With that said, we need to win 2 games in the B1G tourney to get in.

I am VERY PISSED OFF we didn't finish the job against the Badgers, although it's very difficult to beat a top 15 team twice.

 

[RUfubar]

Yeah can pen him in for 4 fouls minimum going forward too

Probably the other coaches getting in the ref ear about him playing too much bully ball

 

[robjknight]

Why was Paul and Caleb driving when we know we need a 3 to tie?
