RU OSU game thread

Glad I switched back to the Vikings-Saints - miracle finish for the Vikes to win the game at the end - go watch if you haven't seen it. Certainly didn't miss much here, lol.
same here caught the last NO score at the end of it and the Vikings miracle comeback with 25 seconds left after they received kick off.

Freeman w/ maybe the worse game I’ve seen on the banks: 2pts, 0 rbs on 1-12 shooting w/ lazy defense..
 
The highlight of the night for the RU fans was the halftime show of The Amazing Slodick
 
Gotta say, we lost our mojo when Freeman came back in. Not his night. Glad Pike took him out again.
 
This is hilarious they are giving Souf ten feet to shoot on the perimeter. I could see doing that with a big man, but damn talk about scouting your opponent to a T. O and thanks for this early season conference schedule B1G. It was killer, good job.

Yet, most teams continue to play him out there. It boggles my mind.
 
Same team we’ve been all year. Hard working, defensive minded with very little offensive talent. Not sure why anyone is surprised

Sorry but this team didn't work hard at all tonight so it wasnt the same team.

Disagree. As do the announcers who said Rutgers was excellent defensively against an overmatched opponent.

Holding OSU to under 70 points darn good. If only we had offense it would have been much more respectful

How can he be incapable of shooting a 3? He's on scholarship. In college. To play basketball. Has he never even played horse?

Bates Diop is averaging 20PPG and missed most of last year....better coaching, and they have 6 Top 150 kids on their roster....Does anyone actually believe Ohio State doesn't recruit talent??

If they didn't have Bates Diop out and a couple of injuries last year, (mixed with Matta sleepwalking), Ohio State typicaly wins 19-21 games a year.

Last year is last year and the pre-season forecast was not only wrong, they were drastically wrong....this is at worse a 5 seed in the NCAA and will be ranked the rest of the year.

Drawing Michigan State, Purdue and Ohio State twice, is 6 of the 18 games against the Top 3 teams of the league. Iowa up next but is very explosive.

Not sure what to make out of Freeman....he's wildly inconsistent...when he's clicking, he lifts the entire roster....when he's off and not able to score, RU has no chance.

Hopefully the Williams item is truly 3 weeks and he can heal up quickly.
 
This team needs about 5 or maybe 6 players out of the program including Freeman which will allow Pike to truly rebuild...basically next year is more like year 1..a chance to get his own players in

Players will need to be forced aside no question as we cannot have roster spots taken up by nonentities
I agree that there must be roster changes in addition to players leaving because of graduation.Its really hard to reconcile Rutgers being a member of the B1G and to see so few players that have B1G level talent.The lack of shooter/scorers is alarming and with the Williams injury wins will be hard to achieve.

The same comment can also be made regarding other players .The inability to recruit and or keep players that can shoot/score has been the biggest problem area for Rutgers going all the way back to Big East competition.Too many fans expect miracles to happen by players over achieving their skillset.
