RU vs Ohio State 2/22/2020

avoiding the 8/9 game in the B10 tourney so they dont have to get walloped by Maryland is key

This is a must win, RU beat them last year? but this seems to be a program that has had C Vivs number in Big 10 play
 
Pretty close to a 'Must game' for RU W BB. RU stands at 18-8, 8-7, and fighting for another regular season win, and it won't be easy. Ohio St is 10-5 in Big10, 17-9 overall and they are 'hot', winning their last 6 in a row. After Ohio St, RU finishes with tough opponents in Indiana and Iowa. RU probably needs to win 1 of it's last 3, and then it's first game in the Big10 Tournament, to reach 20 wins and assure itself of an NCAA berth. 19 wins might not do it. IF RU could somehow win 2 of the last 3 games, all at home, they probably secure a first round bye.

Game on BTN TV. Hall of Fame W BB announcer Vera Jones, doing TV analysis for the BTN today. She is terrific.

As others have already stated and I completely concur, this is a MUST win for Rutgers.
 
Only up 2 with 4:40 to go in the second quarter. As I wrote that, OSU just hit a corner 3 to go up one 27-26.
 
Ohio St gets hot with 3 point shooting, RU trails at the half 34-30. Ohio St .with 21 points on 3 point shots, RU with..0 points, 0-2

Arella leads RU with 14 points.
 
Being outscored 21 - 0 from 3 pointers (no thats not a misprint). I really don't know what more to tell anyone who doesn't think that our lack of 3 offense isn't an issue
 
ponytails
Always hated that term for 3 point shooting.
But a lot better being just ponytails, as you stated, than the blond ponytail designation of years ago.

But truth is RU must start making 3s in games to have a better chance to win.

I dont care what kind of ponytail it is, its that you need them
 
So tired of watching wide open 3's against us. OSU 4 freshman averaging 9 to 12 per game. Must be nice. 7 players on OSU have made 16 3's or more. They also defend well.
 
RU tied it and then blew it...why take a rushed shot....take the last shot.....down 6 and big girl is just toying with them right now
 
Bad last 2:00 of the 3rd for RU.

RU losing after 3 , 50-44. The OSU Euro transfers are shooting the lights out.

Only Arella playing well for RU, she has 23 points on 9-14 shooting. 1 girl teams usually don't win.

KK with a donut so far.

Game and season slipping away. Can Arella salvage it all by herself?

Jordan Wallace as the only inside threat kills this team against anyone who can (1) shoot the 3 and (2) also has a big giant girl inside

4th quarter will spell relief or doom.

This is the most frustrating team to watch of all our sports. And we have lots. There is talent and Cviv will always be able to recruit that on herself alone but the gameplay is just simply not there.

If our opponents play a very specific way (miss lots, guards don’t get back so we can run in transition), we can win against all else. But if they deviate from that plan (shoot well, get back and force us to run halfcourt offense), we have no other way to win.
 
ok down to 51-50

4 to go...everytime RU has come back, OSU simply pushed the lead back up

this is the season right here
 
Up 1 with 90 seconds left. BUT....ARELLA WITH THE THREE! Rutgers up 57-53 with 1:13 to go. LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Close in on the three. Don't let the ponytails get a shot off.
 
Let's gooooo! Play tough D. This call will be reversed and OSU will get the ball back.
 
Okay, only up 2 with 29 seconds left. Rutgers needs to keep the ball in Arella's hands. Let them foul her, even though they have fouls to give. If somehow Arella can get a shot off, she's money at the FT line if she misses her shot.
