Basketball Rutgers Basketball defeats No. 23 Illinois with return of Dylan Harper

[bethlehemfan]

Riley is the best player on the court.

 

[Degaz-RU]

We all know how his game is going down. Illinois will eventually tie the game or take a lead, and it’s going to be nip and tuck down to the wire.

I will be shocked if we build on this lead and keep a 10+ lead the rest of the way. Will be happy to be wrong here, but I know my team and school mojo way too much.

Like I said…

 

[bethlehemfan]

Ill 13-18 fg

Some layups but a lot of tough ones too

 

[zappaa]

Simply unable to rebound

 

[seansherm]

Riley is a freshman?

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Have we gotten a stop this half?

 

[BOCA93]

How the F does ILL get every board!

 

[bac2therac]

Boxers game

Punch punch punch

Rutgers hanging in

 

[nolanpa]

Robbie Hummel - “they’re not going to win this game if they don’t start to rebound.”

Truer words never spoken

 

[Scangg]

Have we gotten a stop this half?

A ton if we could rebound

 

[RUsojo]

Fun game

 

[RutgersMC]

4 fouls on Johnson

 

[greenknight]

Not boxing out EVER

Boxers game

Punch punch punch

Rutgers hanging in

Barely - I seriously think they may have scored on every second half possession they’ve had.

 

[BillyC80]

As good as Illinois is shooting, they can’t seem to shake us. I say we win it at the end.

 

[Degaz-RU]

We haven’t had Sommerville or Dortch in the game for several minutes. Martini is trying hard, but we have no size or length to get rebounds.

cutting edge analysis lol

 

[FmrMgrRU]

Pike standing the entire game because he seat is so hot

 

[RU Mike73]

Getting humbled by even their guards on the glass. No effort at all to rebound.

 

[Corycord1]

Why is Ace out again? Why is Pike coaching this game like a November match up against Monmouth? There is no reason that Ace should be sitting for this long under 12. Absolutely ridiculous

 

[shields]

Riley is good.

 

[PatrickRU92]

Fun game

tell that to my stomach

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Illi getting in the paint whenever they want. Killing us

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

A ton if we could rebound

The possession continues when they get the rebound. I’m serious - have they had the ball once and given it back to us without scoring besides the charge Zach drew. I think that’s the only time.

 

[RutgersChow]

Grant can not be shooting 3’s

First he should, then he shouldn't. It's only one or the other.

I disagree they are trying. The other team is too but they are bigger stronger and quicker.

He coaches like a complete idiot.

 

[tm_nj]

they are giving us a rebounding clinic

 

[Degaz-RU]

Illinois outscoring us 33-23 this half, and only hit two 3s

Long breaks in general are pointless. Let him catch him breath and get him back in

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

There we go!

 

[greenknight]

How the F does ILL get every board!

dont BOX OUT. The only guy on team that boxes out is Martini

 

[RutgersChow]

How the F does ILL get every board!

Because we don't block out, and we haven't in nine years.

 

[Scangg]

JWill playing annoying defense on the verge of a foul there the entire possession off ball

 

[FmrMgrRU]

Pike is an absolute criminal to pair up two lottery picks with Martini

 

[BillyC80]

IL pushes off on a lot of their rebounds

 

[bac2therac]

Pound nails

 

[Scangg]

Hugeeeee leggiooooooo

 

[BillyC80]

Oh baby!
