Basketball PREVIEW/LIVE THREAD: Rutgers Basketball versus Iowa Part II

[RU848789]

10-10 FTs and only 4 fouls for Iowa (not counting the 2 intentional at the end of the half vs. 3-6 FTs and 9 fouls on RU. And that ridiculous reversal - I don't care that it wasn't flagrant, but reversing that is insane - next thing you know they'll start reversing charge/block calls.

 

[JudgeSmails56]

We’ll be down 20 in a few more minutes

 

[Rokodesh]

Are the Iowa cheerleaders actually wearing masks?? How does one cheer with a mask on?

I saw a guy running on the treadmill with a mask on last week if you want to talk about stupid

 

[bethlehemfan]

WTF was that call on Harper? Keegan gets a second foul it's huge. instead RU gets the screw job

Yep but refs don’t matter.

 

[NickRU714]

RHJ: 5 pts
Bench: 0ppts
McConnell: 1pt

That's not going to get it done.

Geo carrying the team with 13pts.

Clif needs to really work on scoring on anything other than a dunk for next year.
He's just clogging up space in the lane without any type of post up or mid range shooting.

 

[FIJI'83]

McCaffery basically saying I am going to count on RU’s inability to hit outside shots consistently and stay in zone until and if they can prove differently.

 

[koleszar]

Well our starters should be well rested as Pike substituted liberally every 4 mins. or less.

 

[leftoright]

Keep this to single digits at half and I won't kill myself.

we're still alive

 

[kcg88]

literally laughing out loud

 

[fluoxetine]

We’ll be down 20 in a few more minutes

While I wouldn’t put it past Bo to somehow award Iowa points during halftime, I think it’s unlikely.

 

[Danprusa_4]

He was making sure no one saw the cold sore on his lips lmao

 

[RW90]

This is on Pike. His substitutions were mind numbingly stoopid. I get looking for offense against the zone, but Hyatt is not the answer or what got us here.

 

[RUinOhio]

that is NOT a cylinder call. Murray initiated all the contact. Harper was holding his ground. AWFUL

 

[Knightmoves]

Murray brothers with 25 points. Zero points from our bench.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

WTF was that call on Harper? Keegan gets a second foul it's huge. instead RU gets the screw job

Has anyone ever seen a so-called cylinder foul called against any other team than RU? I have not.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Will Iowa wear down in the 2nd half of this back to back? Press and run.

 

[Rokodesh]

Andre Hyatt over/under 17.5 minutes in the second half?

 

[fluoxetine]

This is on Pike. His substitutions were mind numbingly stoopid.

Yawn

 

[bitnez]

We actually did fine getting to 5-6 feet open in middle of zone. But we went 0-4 of them. Make 2-3 and it’s a totally different game.

 

[cubuffsdoug]

This is on Pike. His substitutions were mind numbingly stoopid.

It had little to do with the way he was subbing. The team lost its aggressiveness, and that is the difference.

 

[bac2therac]

Murdered on boards 21-11

 

[RedTeam1994]

Tre Demps look like Quincy Douby?

 

[richthedentist]

10-10 FTs and only 4 fouls for Iowa (not counting the 2 intentional at the end of the half vs. 3-6 FTs and 9 fouls on RU. And that ridiculous reversal - I don't care that it wasn't flagrant, but reversing that is insane - next thing you know they'll start reversing charge/block calls.

That reversal was just flat out bull shit that was a 4-6 point swing it should have been flagrant 1 at minimum he swung his elbow into Ron’s face

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Need to bring in a zone buster. Too bad Jaden not in uniform!

 

[RUinOhio]

no, but this is the third RU player to get hit in the face and get a foul called on him!!!!

Has anyone ever seen a so-called cylinder foul called against any other team than RU? I have not.

 

[jordkap]

Down 9 at half is basically our normal…

 

[robjknight]

Can't have scoring droughts against a team like Iowa.Rutgers must have missed at least 5 shots iwithin two feet of the basket.

Hyatt and McConnell

 

[RUJMM78]

The difference is foul shots made by Iowa and missed shots bye Rutgers close to the basket.Murray already has 18 points which shows the importance of a star player.

10-10 FTs and only 4 fouls for Iowa (not counting the 2 intentional at the end of the half vs. 3-6 FTs and 9 fouls on RU. And that ridiculous reversal - I don't care that it wasn't flagrant, but reversing that is insane - next thing you know they'll start reversing charge/block calls.

Probably the worst college basketball call I've ever seen.

 

[Rokodesh]

We held them below their tournament average of 64 at the half

 

[njrexguy]

Not good, but about what I expected.

Painful to watch these guys when they are shooting ice cold.

Gotta get hot on O.

The guys can turn it around, but not optimistic at all.

 

[IL Lusciato]

Pretty sure only Rutgers fans think he’s any good

Like Jets fans and Chrebet

 

[MORRISCOUNTY]

Players are afraid to shoot.

Mulcahy is hesitating which is the bad version of himself.

Mulcahy needs to want to shoot, that is the good version.

I thought the substituting was horrible.

Keep the starters in. The players can rest over the summer not now.

Murray needs to be doubled teamed and harassed, let somebody else from their team try to score.

 

[mjjoyce51]

literally laughing out loud

I don't get it what is he supposed to do there? Just not put a body on him and just let him go to the basket? Is the head the same thing as an arm in this situation?

 

[Scangg]

Geo and Ron need to be getting shots up. Against a zone we should be able to have them taking shots

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

We actually did fine getting to 5-6 feet open in middle of zone. But we went 0-4 of them. Make 2-3 and it’s a totally different game.

we missed a lot of chippies--that is killing us

 

[Danprusa_4]

Hopefully Karma will appear in the second half

This is on Pike. His substitutions were mind numbingly stoopid. I get looking for offense against the zone, but Hyatt is not the answer or what got us here.

yes and no. If you can’t shoot that’s on pike i guess too

 

[richthedentist]

What the he’ll lineup was that how can you not have Reiber in there just stupid thank goodness he got that contract extension

 

[hbr1103]

We’ll be down 20 in a few more minutes

Bo Boroski. Game over

So negative
Root for another team

 

[bac2therac]

Yet we had it down to 6 and gave up another 3 and failed to score

The refs aren't the issue

We are doing little to bother Iowas offensive rhythm and their defense is better than ours
