Basketball Rutgers falls 80-72 at Penn State plagued with turnover, foul troubles

[fatsam98]

I don't think it's hyperbole to say this is the most important game of the season.

Win and we have real belief going into MSG that we can turn the whole season around.

Lose and I think we're (finally) done

[fatsam98]

Dozens of people there

 

[chase_NJ]

Place sure is packed.

 

[socaldave]

Starting fab4 with Acuff
Pike is a genius

 

[bac2therac]

Dozens of people there

dont they usually set that mic up near the student section so we hear some fool screaming all game

Do you think the B1G scheduling geniuses could have moved the start time back 1 hour so that people could watch the CFP Championship game that starts at 7:30 p.m.? To boot the stupid game is on Peacock, and there is no facile way to split the screen and watch both games on one screen.

@NickRU714 - this is not a rant against Peacock--I know it's part of the media rights deal that benefits B1G teams. Just a rant pointing out that when these games are on Apps such as Peacock, Amazon, Netflix, etc, and one wants to watch two games on 1 screen, it is difficult, if not impossible on a big screen TV. Rant over.

What's a CFP championship?

 

[RU848789]

Nice start.

 

[bac2therac]

Confident early

 

[Saint Puppy]

Is this us starting out quick??? Who is this team I'm watching and what you done with my Rutgers??

Good start!

 

[robjknight]

Niederhauser took 5 steps twice- no calls.

 

[Saint Puppy]

Penn State is a slopfest.

 

[koleszar]

Lathan simply never passes. You pass the ball to him he's shooting, guys could be wide open and he'll still try something dumb.

 

[bac2therac]

executing really good and Penn State forcing things and being sloppy

 

[pd10124]

How has nobody told Lathan he doesn’t need to make a move to score every time he gets it down low??

 

[Saint Puppy]

Somerville trying to do much.....somebody should tell him he's allowed to pass out.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Nice to have the lead at the first break... a rarity

 

[zappaa]

Not mandatory to score when you get the ball Lathan

 

[Rokodesh]

Lathan has to stop hogging the ball

 

[newell138]

Lathan simply never passes. You pass the ball to him he's shooting, guys could be wide open and he'll still try something dumb.

I was thinking the same

 

[robjknight]

Grant-yes
Acuff- no

How has nobody told Lathan he doesn’t need to make a move to score every time he gets it down low??

He had an opportunity to throw it out to 2 wide open players on the last one

 

[FIJI'83]

Selfish ball player. Dylan needs to make clear if you continue not to pass when covered you won’t get the ball. Apparently, won’t listen to coaches.

College football playoff

 

[BOCA93]

LS Literally never looks to pass. He could be doubled, tripled…. Doesn’t matter. He’s shooting no matter what

 

[fatsam98]

Lathan has to stop hogging the ball

This is what drives me crazy with Pike. We all see it but he just lets it happen

 

[tm_nj]

a good start but we have wasted a few possessions

 

[Rokodesh]

Lathan simply never passes. You pass the ball to him he's shooting, guys could be wide open and he'll still try something dumb.

Penn State should double him every time because he's going for it regardless

 

[Saint Puppy]

Playground Ace is in the house!

 

[zappaa]

Two blind runs in a row

 

[zappaa]

3 empty possessions in a row

 

[FIJI'83]

PSU came out shaky. We let them off the hook.

 

[BOCA93]

Way too sloppy with the ball. 4 TOs in 5 mins

 

[RU848789]

Sloppy game so far as each team has 4 TOs

 

[zappaa]

Slow it down

 

[Bobbydigital_83]

Why yall ragging on lathan? Hes over 50% in the field…
Don’t like the traveling but I’ll welcome another option

 

[bac2therac]

playing really good half court d and rebounding and its forcing psu to try and take wild shots in transition and they are blowing those

however our shot selection on offense is questionable

 

[koleszar]

You simply have to hit that Ace, not a single person was on that side of the court with you.

 

[RUChoppin]

Defense fell apart on that last possession
