The second you start thinking about how good “good Simpson” is.

This happens

This. I let myself get tricked after Mich

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

I will take a rock fight over getting smashed any day of the week

Rock fight? These guys are throwing pebbles.

 

[RW90]

Lowest scoring B1G half this season, so we got that going for us, or so I think?

 

[RUChoppin]

The bad news is their next foul is their 4th

Willard is a shrewd peacock. You know whats coming

Peacock? Not a whole lot of plumage there...

 

[fluoxetine]

When Fernandes comes in and plays extended minutes for no good reason it makes me doubt whether Pike is actually a good coach. The guy does not need go play a minute the rest of the season. Where is Austin Williams?

AW is hurt / not dressed

 

[PatrickRU92]

look this is ugly guys but you have to be happy down 2 with arguably our 2 best players sitting the majority of the half. This is what we got guys.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

He's due? 🤣

He's dudu.

 

[ScarletteK80]

I think Caitlin Clark would start for both these teams

If she had more height, and way more weight she would rip the hell off some oif these dumb ass guys.

 

[BOCA93]

Cliffs 3rd foul was weak. Nothing more than boxing Reese out. And after letting both teams play rugby every other possession, smh

 

[Scangg]

People taking a victory lap on Simpson after having one good shooting game in his last 8 or so? look pretty silly right now

We NEED Simpson to give us something second half

 

[BigEastPhil]

I’m sure This game is just what James Naismith envisioned when he designed the game of basketball !

 

[dconifer]

These are two really good defenses. Good defenses force turnovers, including unforced ones, even if the latter is an oxymoron.

 

[Scarlet dollar]

Sad thing is, if we were just a half assed team, we would be in the upper tier of this league. I just find it hard to comprehend how bad we are this year.

 

[dconifer]

Griffiths and Kaiser

Ha ha, I've been saying all year that we have a slightly more athletic Gavin on our team...

 

[FrankZ]

1-8 from 3, but admittedly at least 2 of those should have dropped (GG’s was a dagger)

 

[zappaa]

We pretty much go as Simpson goes.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Don't think so 80.






She doesn't need the weight or the height to do it vs. some of them.

 

[RUby RED]

Ogbole is massive and looks like he tries, but he is so completely lost it’s bad. It makes sense that’s he’s only played basketball for 3 years.

Yeah think this is why we’ll continue to see Woolf, even if it’s clear he’s not a Big Ten big.

With that said I’d prefer to see Ogbole moving forward. Easy to see that Ogbole doesn’t fully grasp positioning, hedging, etc — but would hope that comes with increased reps. Offers far more physicality and presence on the boards than Woolf

 

[NickRU714]

What was the O/U?
How much money could be won hammering the under in our games?

 

[shields]

Austin for the 9th time is not dressed.

 

[RUJMM78]

Hyatt playing limited minutes for a team that is starving for baskets.

 

[fluoxetine]

We NEED Simpson to give us something second half

Weird I thought because he hit a few midrange shots in one game he was destined to completely transform going forward.

 

[Scangg]

Our 3 small guards are 0-11. Can't win like that

 

[PhillyRU]

Simpson plays like if a 2K YouTuber made a “What if I gave Allen Iverson Shaq’s shooting” video.

Like he does so many things well, he’s super springy and gets himself open consistently. But good lord he cannot shoot, and that pretty much cancels out everything else he does

 

[FrankZ]

Hyatt playing limited minutes for a team that is starving for baskets.

Yeah just let him shoot at will at this point (as soon as JWill gets his 4th)

 

[ScarletteK80]

If Cliff and JWill can stay out of foul trouble in the second half we can win this

Don't know about that.

 

[80RU]

Wolf hasn't gotten the memo that he's not supposed to shoot the basketball when he's on the floor

Since he is at 58% for his career, I wouldn’t give him that memo.

 

[fluoxetine]

What was the O/U?
How much money could be won hammering the under in our games?

Probably about -4.5%

 

[knight82]

Sad thing is, if we were just a half assed team, we would be in the upper tier of this league. I just find it hard to comprehend how bad we are this year.

we were in a fight to the finish with Stonehill. That's how bad

 

[bitnez]

We need one player to get hot in the second half and we can steal this one. It’s more likely to be Young though.

 

[dconifer]

I’m sure This game is just what James Naismith envisioned when he designed the game of basketball !

This has to be nominated for something. Still laughing...

 

[bac2therac]

1-8 from 3, but admittedly at least 2 of those should have dropped (GG’s was a dagger)

Yeah his 3 was basically 95% in before popping out

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Does O/U stand for overshoot the rim from under the basket. ?

 

[NickRU714]

Davis 0/2 and Simpson 0/7 is a tough look.

We have 8 baskets total.

Positive - assists on 50% of our baskets (4)

 

[RW90]

Lol at that replay going into break. Reese just bumps Cliff out of the way for the layup.

 

[Scangg]

Simpson plays like if a 2K YouTuber made a “What if I gave Allen Iverson Shaq’s shooting” video.

Like he does so many things well, he’s super springy and gets himself open consistently. But good lord he cannot shoot, and that pretty much cancels out everything else he does

You can find pick up ballers all over the country who are athletic quick get open shots and brick them

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers must think they can win the game by scoring 45 points.

 

[fluoxetine]

They should turn off the shot clock for the second half imo

 

[Scarlet Blind]

If it helps, the last two games at Maryland, 1st half we were down 27-38 and won 70-59 in 21-22. And 20-21, MD 27-28 1st half and won 74-60.
