RU at tOSU Game Thread

[RUTrack94]

Wow ... incredible start of the 3rd quarter!

 

[Abro1975]

RU closes to 41-37. Good pressure. Still way too many turnovers , fouls and missed shots, but man, do they play hard.
5 min left in the 3rd.

 

[ea_1]

Under-four media time out in 3Q sees us still at a four-point margin for tOSU, 41-37. RU FG% up to 35%.

A loss today puts us back against UConn

Always with the bright outlook [roll]
But that's alright, like I said before, just making the NCAA Tourney this year was the most important RUWBB achievement I wanted before this season started.
Until the invite is official I won't worry about anything else, then I'll worry about the seed given and what region placed in and the programs the teams RU might have to face.

Once officially Dancing, like I said before, will be able to complain about seeding, region placed and teams RU will be facing .
Then I'll consider why RU has such a tough road to hoe and the teams it should have beat to have made advancing in the tourney a lot easier.

Also I think how this team does in the B1G tourney will have a lot to do with where RU will be sent and what seed given.
So with all that to worry about, thinking about , maybe, being in the same region as UConn isn't going to be my main Maalox moment .
I have enough of them already :D

Wilson is finally on the board with a FT, and Scarlet Knight basketball has arrived in Ohio! Eight turnovers so far in 3Q for tOSU. Three-point game after getting it to two, tOSU leads 43-40 with 3:13 to play.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

last two calls against us were BS... both were our gals just being close to ball when offensive player threw her arm out

 

[bac2therac]

Stop fouling

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Stop fouling

might as well say stop playing D the way these recent calls are going

and there they go again.. we touched the ball.. foul call

 

[bac2therac]

Dont have to be so aggressive

 

[RUTrack94]

A loss today puts us back against UConn

Guaranteed to happen no matter what ...

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Dont have to be so aggressive

so the call is against playing D too closely.. being too aggressive.. I'm sure that's in the rulebook

 

[ea_1]

Stay focused, Scarlet Knights. Turnover and fouls--tOSU lead back to four, 46-42.

 

[RUJMM78]

Stop fouling

Every possession is a foul which is the reason Ohio State is still leading.48-44

 

[RUTrack94]

Guaranteed to happen no matter what ...

In the finals of course!!!!

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

now that's a foul.. stupid one too

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

over the back there not called... many travels by OSU against the press not called

 

[RUTrack94]

No matter what happens today, proud of that 3Q!

 

[bac2therac]

OSU cant run any of their offense

Key will be to get the lead...press is great but fouling too much

21-12 that half

OSU 50-46 end of 3rd

 

[ea_1]

RU has not been able to get closer than two with fouling and putting tOSU at the line. Both teams 80% or better from the line. tOSU maintains a four-point lead, 50-46, with one quarter left to play.

 

[bac2therac]

so the call is against playing D too closely.. being too aggressive.. I'm sure that's in the rulebook

Body touches are fouls

 

[Abro1975]

Good 3rd qtr despite the cold shooting, RU pulls within 4 , OSU 50 RU 46, foul trouble as usual on all our key players. That's the downside of intense pressure all game long.

 

[RUTrack94]

over the back there not called... many travels by OSU against the press not called

Make a video on YouTube and highlight each one!

 

[ea_1]

Harris in danger of fouling out, now at four fouls. Once again, after getting within two points, RU puts tOSU at the line, 51-48 with 8:28 remaining.

 

[bac2therac]

And there it is

RU 53_51

 

[ea_1]

You foul, no you foul; you turn it over, no you turn it over. After a game of hot potato, RU takes its first lead! 53-51.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

that steal was a foul.. pretty clear on replay she whacked the elbow

 

[bac2therac]

Back to back 3s

56-51

 

[nj4shore]

WOW...great turnaround

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

so nice!

 

[bac2therac]

31-13 run since halftime

Keep pouring it on

 

[ea_1]

Media time out at 5:52 has us at 56-51, RU! Scarlet Knights are on a run, 8-0.

Zippy Broughton leads all scorers with 16.

 

[RUTrack94]

Wow ... 56-51 RU!!!!!

 

[Abro1975]

PRESSURE B WORKING !!!!

RU LEADING 56-51 W 6MIN TO GO !

 

[RUJMM78]

The Rutgers pressure defense is clearing wearing out the opponent.46-41 Rutgers leads and Ohio State has 28 turnovers.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

just yesterday during a womens game before our mens game I heard some announcers saying teams wanted that 6 seed to face 3-seed Rutgers because of the dismissals.. a win here would quiet that talk a bit.

 

[ea_1]

RU up by seven with 3:34 left in the game. Trading threes is okay by me--that means RU is finally making their long-range shots.

 

[bac2therac]

Osu is defeated..no energy

 

[RUTrack94]

Is RU still playing all 10 players .... sounds like RU was relentless in the second half!!!!

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

my guess is thats really out on us

hahah announcers say it has to be obvious.. but they give the ball to OSU

 

[ea_1]

Fifteen offensive rebounds for RU--helping run down the clock and giving the chance for a bucket. RU leads 63-56 with 39 seconds left in the regular season.
