Basketball Rutgers Basketball suffers road loss to Ohio State on Wednesday night

[bac2therac]

Hyatt not on court?

 

[Rutgers25]

exceeded my expectations tonight. Let’s hope we show heart like this all season even if we don’t win many of them. Need to get back to Pike hard nosed basketball.

OSU drawing back to back press breaking plays.

 

[bac2therac]

In now with Gavin

 

[RU848789]

Well, we played a great last 10 minutes. This team is capable of beating some good teams, but we need to shoot better - if we just went 8-22 vs. 6-22 from deep tonight, we win.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

OSU only 5 fouls. Fouls to give

 

[RW90]

Would have loved to have seen that defensive effort in the first half.

 

[rucoe89]

Coulda shoulda woulda. Next game.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

And Griffiths gets the ball and passes to Cliff 18 feet from hoop. Christ.

 

[Scangg]

Covered the spread

 

[bac2therac]

Oh well

Great effort

Not upset at all

Feel a bit better going forward

 

[RUDeac]

lol this is the best shooter in this class?

Well, we played a great last 10 minutes. This team is capable of beating some good teams, but we need to shoot better - if we just went 8-22 vs. 6-22 from deep tonight, we win.

Ehh only if those 2 extra shots didn’t cannabalize any possessions that we scored a 2 on

 

[RU Mike73]

Maybe play the whole game with 2nd half intensity gets a better result.

 

[rubjk]

Play like junkyard dogs like tonight and the season will be fun.

 

[fatsam98]

I missed most the game but at least we ended up being competitive. I think I'll take that, at this point.

 

[bac2therac]

Defense matters

 

[Scangg]

Too forced of a 3 for Simpson there. Attack and score or dish. There was more time for a better look

 

[G- RUnit]

No more Simpson bashing
No more JMike better than Simpson .

And the biggie. Ridiculous officiating.
Don’t be in denial.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Nice 2nd half. We seem to play much better away from the RAC lately.

 

[fluoxetine]

We lost by 4 on the road while Ohio State shot 46% from three and we shot 25%, and got raped by the refs.

If anyone posts anything saying this proves how bad we are they should be banned from the board.

 

[bitnez]

Didn’t think we had this type of defensive effort in us. Very pleased. On to Iowa. Need that one. Very winnable.

Don’t be in denial.

Right, because he had this one good game. Man, this board is fickle.

 

[shields]

Simpson needs to get in weight room.

 

[ScarletDave]

Simpson should have taken the last 5 shots, Mag launching 3s falling down was our demise

 

[Scangg]

6/24 vs 11/24 from 3

 

[newell138]

Weird game. So many times we looked lost and so many times we looked ready to steal a victory

Still surprised at how lame the crowd was. Don’t see them stand at all and pretty quiet most of the game

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Agreed it started in the first half where the guy fell with the ball and slid into the backcourt

Refs = Brutal

Of course they add to the seething by showing the shot last year that beat us.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

💩show by the refs especially down the stretch

 

[rubjk]

Oh well

Great effort

Not upset at all

Feel a bit better going forward

We are not that different than the past few years. We will shoot like crap some games and loose some head scratchers and win some unexpectedly. We will get in big holes and dig out of some remarkably. Gotta play with passion and effort like a junkyard dog.

 

[FinalFourOrBust]

No more Simpson bashing

Don’t be in denial.

If Simpson plays like this he won’t get bashed. If he plays like he’s done the first 11 games then he’ll get criticized. Hopefully it’s the former.

 

[G- RUnit]

Right, because he had this one good game. Man, this board is fickle.

Last week complete game despite bashing. Rebounding, steals and assists no?

 

[bitnez]

And Griffiths gets the ball and passes to Cliff 18 feet from hoop. Christ.

Gavin is an example of what a lack of confidence looks like. When it clicks it’s going to make us so much better. Just have to live with it for now.

 

[BigEastPhil]

So happy how team battled.

Derek needs to be the alpha !

 

[Scangg]

Simpson should have taken the last 5 shots, Mag launching 3s falling down was our demise

I said bad offense down the stretch and we should have went to Simpson high ball screen

Last possession was a rushed bad shot though

 

[RUDivision]

Great fight ! Need to play 40 min not 20! Great game DS and awesome work by AW off the bench

 

[RU Mike73]

We are so whiny about the refs every game. Please stop it. We sound like a weak pussy fan base.

 

[BillyC80]

6/24 vs 11/24 from 3

Too much to overcome. Thought we outplayed them otherwise.

 

[newell138]

Onto the Epstein list discussion!!

 

[Corycord1]

Great fight, this team proved me wrong. Let’s hope that half was a wake up call, this is the type of energy and effort needed to win at this level. Best half of basketball this season imo
