Basketball LIVE THREAD: RHoops welcomes No. 13 Illinois to town

[ScarletteK80]

Up 9 and cliff has one foul.

Hush, you know better than to say that out loud.

 

[zebnatto]

If Ron and Geo heat up . . .

 

[FrankZ]

First 5 mins of second half will be key

Yep. Maybe even just the first two or three.

 

[robjknight]

Yes some sloppy passing and missing around the rim
Plusses- Cliff more rested than Kofi. Be big to get third foul on Kofi.
9 point with 0 for Geo. If Geo can get going, we can get this game.
A little longer range comment. If we win this game we will have tie breaker against the top 5 for conference standings.

 

[BillyC80]

Expect both teams to play better in the second half. Illinois will likely go on a run. Hope they never take the lead, but if they do, we gotta dig deep and with the crowd’s help, find a way to take it back, and win this.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Here comes a Cliff dunk to open the half!

 

[Scangg]

First 5 mins of second half will be key

Would love to see Geo or Ron get going early this half too

Stretch the lead out of the gate and it really becomes tough real fast for Illinois

 

[NJDOVES]

Why no Harper in warmups?

Yeah I just feel better about things when Geo is producing.

 

[NJDOVES]

Ok, all good!

 

[Scangg]

Here comes a Cliff dunk to open the half!

That would certainly set the tone and get the crowd amped immediately. Don't mind the call... could also get Kofi to foul potentially going for it

 

[RU Mike73]

If Ron and Geo heat up . . .

🙏🙏🙏🙏

[BillyC80]

Anybody see Miller twist his ankle again and signal to come out?

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Turnovers.... Rutgers 7. Illinois 3.

Ugh. One reason we're not up double digits.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Eh game is pretty close right now not sure we should be routing them their shots will fall. Gotta step up in 2H and finish strong

What I mean is we didn't take enough advantage of their cold streak. We needed to make a couple of those bunnies we'd be up 15 and better positioned to weather the eventual run.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Geo killing us more with 0 pts

Two halves in a row. Wtf. B1G POW.

 

[Scangg]

Why no Harper in warmups?

Ok, all good!

You trying to give the board a heart attack!

 

[RU Mike73]

Kofi gonna get his. Keep defending the 3 ball.

 

[MrWise]

Ugh. One reason we're not up double digits.

We came out playing at hyperspeed. You're gonna see a few turnovers

 

[RUTrack94]

Awesome half … take this one home!

 

[FrankZ]

Feared that 3. No bueno. Lose the zone

 

[greenknight]

[FrankZ]

[koleszar]

Baker needs to get his fvcking head in the game.

 

[Scangg]

Geo just throwing it out for no reason
