Basketball Rutgers Basketball suffers 81-74 loss to No. 8 Michigan State at MSG

[bethlehemfan]

No Dylan no chance.

 

[Joey Bags]

Amazing JWill never gets fouled

He avoids the contact on his drives or is out of control when contact happens

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

I am not expecting Harper back

Brutal. We're seeing the fallout now, only so long R guys can hang with a more talented team without him.

 

[Scangg]

We can't score

 

[zappaa]

Dylan probably won’t play for the rest of the game his amile definitive tighten up at halftime

Sick of hearing about it, sit out until your healthy

 

[Degaz-RU]

I’ve never seen a team miss so many shots at the rim. Must’ve missed 15 today.

 

[Wagram97]

How are Martini and Acuff a combined 1-8 from 3. WTF. With Hayes not getting a shot.

 

[RUGiddy777]

Or we cursed? Like seriously. Harper gets the flu and injured at basically the start of conference play. And unlike other teams, our transfer 3 pt shooters from directional schools forget how to shoot.

Do you even have to ask?

 

[RAC93]

Another L, going to have 16 or 17 Ls this season

 

[koleszar]

No Dylan no chance.

It's a mystery as to when he'll finally be healthy. Did playing him really accomplish anything but prolonging his absence. He was pretty useless today as he was in the last few games.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Same old story. JD played well. That's about it.

 

[FIJI'83]

It was fun for 30 minutes

Agree. More than I expected. But the inevitable appears to have arrived.

 

[RutgersChow]

Again, does anyone on this team ever HEAD FAKE or JUMP STOP? Those are kind of important things to do.

 

[RUinOhio]

Back the the danger zone here

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Might as well sit Ace. He isnt trying on D and he doesnt have harpers excuse

 

[mikemarc1]

It’s so funny watching this team drive and attempt layups….that don’t even hit the rim. Sigh.

Great effort - but I think that’s all she wrote here

 

[Scangg]

Can't get Hayes any open 3's

 

[ScarletDave]

Same recipe as PSU game .. hang around but don’t take the chances given to us - at every critical possession the ball is in the wrong players’ hands. And then a mini spurt by the other team to go down 10 and it’s over. Repeat repeat

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

It's a mystery as to when he'll finally be healthy.

Personally I think he won't be rest of season

 

[RUinOhio]

Again, does anyone on this team ever HEAD FAKE or JUMP STOP?

Derkack that’s it

 

[Scangg]

Again, does anyone on this team ever HEAD FAKE or JUMP STOP?

Derkack. All the time

 

[The RUT]

Again, does anyone on this team ever HEAD FAKE or JUMP STOP?

Derkack does it every time he’s at the 3 pt line lol

 

[Treaster51]

Yeah good effort . Once again we will never know what woulda happened with a healthy Harper

 

[greenknight]

JW anybody going full speed to hoop has ZERO chance of converting. Need to be in control

 

[Smols]

It's a mystery as to when he'll finally be healthy.

How many games has he actually been “healthy”?

 

[Scangg]

Ace 2-11 and Dylan hurt. Impossible to win that way

 

[mikemarc1]

Jay wright noticed this immediately. Every possession they had a chance to tie or take lead - they came up empty. Another story of the season right there….

 

[mikemarc1]

Ace 2-11 and Dylan hurt. Impossible to win that way

Not really. Make shots you should - and we’re winning this game.

 

[Goku]

With some teams, “it’s always something”

Some excuse. Some setback. Some issue. Some bad break. This team epitomizes it

 

[RUDeac]

With Pike, no chance

 

[Scangg]

How many games has he actually been “healthy”?

The entire season until the flu

 

[Plum Street]

This team stinks

 

[Simce91]

Why is martini hoisting up 3s from 5 ft behind the NBA line?

So Raf can yell "ONIONS not Olives "

 

[darkcheck]

How about burning Dortchs redshirt for 3 mins

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Yeah good effort . Once again we will never know what woulda happened with a healthy Harper

Could lose this by 20. Effort questionable.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Ace 2-12 not stepping up. We'll lose by 20 if he doesn't get hot.

 

[mikemarc1]

What does Ace do well besides occasionally hit a shot that makes you go….wow? I don’t see it….

 

[darkcheck]

No Dylan no chance.

He wouldn’t have mattered. We’re getting murdered in the paint

 

[mikemarc1]

Could lose this by 20. Effort questionable.

The effort was fantastic. Again - it’s just the talent differential

 

[robjknight]

Why is somerville takig these long shots???
