Basketball Rutgers falls late to No. 20 Texas A&M in final Players Era matchup

[RUby RED]

We do not have enough ATHLETES on this team to consistently compete. They’re honing in on Dylan and Ace is stepping up to the challenge but man it’s glaring we lack legit complimentary pieces

 

[bac2therac]

Getting outplayed on both ends right now

 

[RU Mike73]

Acuff needs to sit

 

[MadRU]

Team plays with no fire. Harper looks dejected, walks away from Ace when Ace tried to talk to him. Frustrated

 

[socaldave]

Hayes is pissing me off

 

[bac2therac]

Big time shot by Lathan

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Lathan could be a monster in a year or two

 

[BillyC80]

No foul on that first shot by Lathan? Glad he got the And1 on the next one.

 

[socaldave]

Summerville!

Hayes is pissing me off

Hayes and Martini turning into portal blunders

 

[bac2therac]

Acuff to Lathan huge there after a rebound the other way

 

[rubjk]

It’s a heavyweight fight.

 

[socaldave]

I feel like we have taken T&A best shot

 

[bac2therac]

Aggies going take 50 free throws if Rutgers doesn't stop fouling

 

[bac2therac]

I feel like we have taken T&A best shot

Only if we dont blow it in the last 45

 

[RUFan20231]

The refs are a joke.

 

[socaldave]

Nice pass ACE just didn’t get it

 

[Rokodesh]

Can't breathe on A&M

 

[greenknight]

That wouldnt happen in ZONE

 

[bac2therac]

3 on Lathan..not worth it

I dont have an issue with refs

We are fouling constantly

 

[BOCA93]

Refs are making this game unwatchable.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Martini doesn't really have any notable basketball skills. I never thought grabbing him immediately out of portal was wise.

 

[rubjk]

Love the effort and rebounding ok

 

[RedTeam1994]

Refs are making this game unwatchable.

That last foul on Lathan - come on refs!!!

 

[bac2therac]

He shouldn't have been taken out

Then Harper takes terrible shot

 

[socaldave]

3rd foul should have never happened
Did we have time outs grant should have been in

 

[RUFan20231]

If every play is a foul, it should be a foul on both teams. Clearly they are calling it one way.

 

[KingOfTheEast]

Refs are dogshit, must have got the call from the casinos.

 

[bac2therac]

Down 6 is okay but the foul trouble is an issue and just when it looks like we chip things down..A&M keeps responding

 

[greenknight]

We do not have enough ATHLETES on this team to consistently compete. They’re honing in on Dylan and Ace is stepping up to the challenge but man it’s glaring we lack legit complimentary pieces

Problem is if you take the drive away from him which he is insanely great at finishing...his Achilles is average outside shooter. He's at his best walking into his shot eith ball in hand rather than getting shot off pass

 

[Shell21]

refs are giving a&m every single ticky tack calls. 25 foul shots. ridiculous

 

[rubs]

25 -9 FT differential. Total BS

 

[bac2therac]

That last foul on Lathan - come on refs!!!

That was a foul..even Candace said so

 

[tm_nj]

we need Hayes to hit those open threes

 

[fluoxetine]

Halftime isn’t magic. Getting your third foul with 20:15 left isn’t significantly different from getting it with 19:45.

 

[cm_13]

I enjoyed the few minutes of basketball scattered in there during the free throw shooting contest.

 

[BOCA93]

Is A&M coach really upset about how much his team is fouling? They’ve been at the line 25x

 

[greenknight]

3 on Lathan..not worth it

I dont have an issue with refs

We are fouling constantly

Too much chasing the ball & reaching in
Just beat them to the spot (where they want to get to) whether it be 1 ft or 10ft beat them there

 

[NickRU714]

Hayes and Martini turning into portal blunders

Can't watch but if they arent going to hit open shots then it's the same as Davis not providing lock down defense.
Not sure how we figure it out with multiple players failing at their specific role.

 

[RU848789]

ok, this time I'll complain about the refs a bit - 15-11 fouls and 25 to 11 FTs is not balanced, especially when they're playing very physically and not getting called for it like we are.
