RU hosting Wisconsin right now

[RUtrumpet92]

No game thread... wow.

I do not get BTN+ so I am not watching. This is a MUST WIN at home vs. a bad Badger team. RU is up 25-22 at the half because we are 7-8 from the FT line and they are only 1-2. Both teams have nearly identical shooting lines: Wisconsin 9-26, RU 8-23. Badgers with three from downtown, RU 2-7 from long range.

Looks like we are making an effort to get it to Wallace: 4-7 in the first half, while Arella only has three shots plus 2-2 from the line.

Wisconsin is a bottom feeder...to be struggling again vs them, remember they barely beat them the first time is disappointing but not surprising

pulling away now 41-30...do not let them back in

 

[bac2therac]

58-37....bury these lady badgers

 

[RUtrumpet92]

The rout is on, up 58-37 with under four to play. Fifth seed in play Sunday if we can beat Iowa but we may need Michigan to lose to Indiana. I am not sure on tiebreaker if we finish tied with Michigan and Ohio State. Looks like we are all 1-1 against each other head to head.

63 - 43 final.

Sounds like the women did what they should have in the 2nd half.

20 wins now.
Should be a lock for tournament, no?

Congrats, ladies!

(Nice to see an RU win after last night’s painful ending.)

 

[Rutgers56]

Very strong second half. Always nice when Mael gets in on the scoring too.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Clinched a top 7 seed. Purdue and Michigan State will be 8 and 9. So we will open with Nebraska or worse in the conference tournament. We beat them by four back in January.

should....but SOS isnt as good this year and the best win is just Ohio State. I would like to see them beat Iowa at the RAC to definitively punch their ticket

way to go women! Lost my update early q3 and great to see the end result.
Another 20 wins playing in this league. Very nice.

 

[RUTrack94]

Congrats on 20 wins!!!!!!

Nice job ladies. We were a little sloppy in the first half but got it together later on. Well done and Arella with 26

Interesting stat from official RU recap on scarlet knights.com:

"Rutgers is now 11-1 this season with Wallace in double-digits"

meaning we need to: 1. Feed the post; and 2. Wallace needs to stay out of foul trouble.

My vote for Player of the Game? Jordan Wallace. Awesome first half.

 

[Rocky72]

For me, Jordan Wallace has been by far the most pleasant surprise this year. Losing Carey, Harris and Jenkins I thought would leave a huge void in the post. Jordan really stepped up.

Great win, this has been an interesting season so far. Just keep winning ladies.

Women have a tournament win already too that means something to the committee. And it featured some wins over power conference teams as well. These are a fun group and that was a great press conference from CViv. Keep it up ladies
