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

[BillyC80]

Good movement on D. Let’s start hitting more shots.

 

[tm_nj]

Pike please stay with the hot hand today

 

[Degaz-RU]

Best I've ever felt shooting 4 of 15

Quickest 0 for 5 via grant maybe ever for not a main option.

Grants shooting has trailed off the past few games

 

[Scangg]

Love our intensity so far: 11-5 up in rebounds and 4-1 up in TOs.

When we rebound the team always looks better. Means they are engaged and showing effort

 

[RU848789]

Thunderdunk!!

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers playing very hard and hungry

 

[Scangg]

Maybe tonight is the night for Martini to hit multiple 3's

A rare back door cur for a bucket for RU is a pleasant sight

 

[RutgersMC]

Nice pass by Dortch

 

[RU848789]

17-6 folks.

 

[Scangg]

Easy buckets for RU are such bad treat

Ace heating up after the slam

 

[bac2therac]

Vegas Rutgers

 

[Rokodesh]

Holy shit what a start

 

[RutgersMC]

Ace is feeling it early.

 

[RU Mike73]

Ace is back.

 

[RU848789]

Let's blow these MF-ers out of the goddamn building!

 

[rubjk]

Best crowd of season. Student section is packed and loud.

 

[bac2therac]

15-5 on boards

6-0 offensive

 

[RU_UniWatch]

New viral Ace Bailey moment just happened. Holy moly

 

[Degaz-RU]

Illinois is ice cold, but our defense is making it very tough for them to get open looks

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Holy shit what a start

Should be up by 20 --missed some easy ones early

 

[Simce91]

Grants shooting has trailed off the past few games

Looks like he's not set and rushing it a bit

 

[Scangg]

Ace went for 37 after his last bad game. He looks like he wants 30 again

 

[Rokodesh]

Pike please don't make any crazy subs

 

[newell138]

This is kind of what most of us anticipated at the start of the year.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

 

[seansherm]

Survived the freshman 2-12 start, and still building

 

[Scangg]

15-5 on boards

6-0 offensive

When we attack the offensive glass, we play best. Always

 

[Degaz-RU]

Pike please don't make any crazy subs

Don’t take ANYBODY out right now. Ride it!

 

[Rokodesh]

Long game ahead.

Be still my heart.

 

[Sleeping Giant]

So good to see Dylan and Ace out there together!

 

[Joey Bags]

We win every conference game I don’t watch, and lose every one I do. I’m sitting this one out for the boys

 

[Scangg]

Pike please don't make any crazy subs

Ace to the bench incoming for Derkack probably

 

[runner3283]

This is the Rutgers everyone was hoping for!

 

[RU848789]

This is kind of what most of us anticipated at the start of the year.

I wonder how much Pike regrets not integrating Grant and Dortch into the rotation early on. It's obvious that they help make our best defensive team, which is what we needed most with Ace and Harper on offense.

 

[seansherm]

Why no Acuff yet

 

[Scangg]

0 made threes for either team...

 

[Rokodesh]

Williams, Martini and Bryce?

WHY?

 

[Scangg]

Under control Williams on that drive. He just needs to slow his game down and stop spazzing out and he can score off the dribble

 

[Scangg]

Nice defensive rotations!

@Greene Rice FIG even Ace with that deflection

 

[Rokodesh]

Dylan dumb foul
