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

[bac2therac]

13 assists to 2

Wow

 

[FinalFourOrBust]

We’re acting like Ohio state wouldn’t have gotten any offensive rebounds even if they missed these shots

 

[Corycord1]

We had plenty of wide open looks - we just don’t make them.

Two wide open looks that we missed, Simpson and the end of the half and Noah of the Offensive rebound. Other than those two the rest were pretty well contested, or not in the flow of the offense (Noah on the transition 3). I watch a ton of cbb we never get open looks from the perimeter the way other teams do.

DS playing like he did at end of last year. Shooting a lot, some scoring, and team headed toward another loss. We don’t need shoot first guards. They have no one who can guard Cliff. Work the ball around, get Cliff touches and take rhythm 3s on kick outs.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Tell me again why we are leaning into playing our "defensive" players?
How are they "earning" minutes on defense?

Only Griffiths earns minutes by playing defense. Everyone else is allowed to so whatever they want.

 

[Shelby65]

Mindboggling what do they do in practice.

Street ball, same as in the games. Why practice something different ?

 

[cm_13]

Are people trying to brightside being down 13 after we led by 1 at the 11 minute timeout

So many wasted possessions with bad shots early in the shot clock during that stretch.

 

[bac2therac]

I will say if i were OSU coach i would make a concerted effort to get the ball inside and draw fouls from RU. If OSU keeps shooting3s..Rutgers might be able to claw their way back in

Lets see what adjustments both coaches make

Hyatt has to get involved

 

[Sweet Peas Corner]

We look like a JV team. Everyone is bigger, stronger, more experienced, and talented than us. OSU up 15 without breaking a sweat

Not true. Thorton's ass is sweating his pants all wet in the back

 

[G- RUnit]

JMike is a tough kid. But he’s playing men now. It’s noticeable.

He hurt us today. Two bad shots. Missed an easy rebound. Posted up.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Good first possession. Feed xliff

Flow of the offense and open looks aren't the same thing. That Noah 3 was still a wide open look that he missed. If he made it people would give him credit for finally being aggressive and looking for his shot especially after a hot start

 

[G- RUnit]

Almost had a double dribble.

Officiating!!!

 

[rucoe89]

Also didn't realize Battle transferred to Ohio st. That was a nice pickup for them

Yeah, but we got Fernandes! Oh wait .....

 

[BigEastPhil]

The big fella has no touch around the basket.

 

[Mr Magoo]

We have two assists. That’s almost impossible. Nothing but 1 on 1 garbage

 

[RU848789]

Nice start...

 

[bac2therac]

Our D has come in the 2nd half

 

[RW90]

Defensive sighting!

 

[Scangg]

Better defense and offense so far. Drive and kick open 3 miss and a good look for Cliff

 

[pd10124]

Yup...guys like Wolf are reaches. Pike goes for too many of them. Hyatt is a 7th man type player...ditto for Derek

We never replaced Geo or Ron

Jaden Jones still haunts me

 

[Scangg]

Hyatt huge bucket. Going to need him if we want a run

 

[bac2therac]

Sigh Cliff has no touch

 

[NickRU714]

Didn't someone say the Princeton kid would be the best guard we played all year?
Not looking like it.

 

[rucoe89]

Good passing and offensive sets by OSU. OSU is just toying with us on the boards.

 

[RU Mike73]

No shootin’ mofo’s.

 

[Scangg]

Well scratch that better offense with Mag and Hyatt

 

[bac2therac]

Jaden Jones still haunts me

Yup gigantic miss

 

[koleszar]

Simpson hilarious posing. Down 13, then gets beat on the other end

 

[FinalFourOrBust]

Ohio state starts missing threes and immediately gets the rebounds. So predictable

 

[bac2therac]

Battle/Thorton show

 

[RW90]

No one underneath on Hyatt's three attempt. 🤮

 

[RUIvyKnight20]

Hyatt huge bucket. Going to need him if we want a run

and he goes 1 for 4

 

[NickRU714]

Simpson dunk and showboating down 11.
Other end gives up an easy offensive rebound and put back against a bigger player.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

We're playing with some spirit now at least.

 

[Joey Bags]

Stop woofing out there Simpson, you look like a child compared to Battle

 

[G- RUnit]

Simpson playing a nice game again.

 

[darkcheck]

We look so tiny

 

[Mr Magoo]

Simpson hilarious posing. Down 13, then gets beat on the other end

Yup. Ridiculous

 

[RUIvyKnight20]

Simpson dunk and showboating down 11.
Other end gives up an easy offensive rebound and put back against a bigger player.

That was a ridiculous sequence by him, just get back on D
