RUTGERS-MICHIGAN GAME THREAD

[BillyC80]

Make 2 Mike.

 

[RU848789]

We only have 1 foul and they haven't been to the line. We're 2-4 FTs and they have 4 fouls. Nobody's complaining, lol...

 

[BillyC80]

Ok 30-26.

 

[bac2therac]

1-7 is still 1-7 ... Iowa and Indiana only 1 road win ... Need to win these games. Protect home court against bad road teams.

They are not bad...its a ncaa team and I believe they have 3 road/neutral wins

 

[RUTrack94]

Make both foul shots please!!

Boom ... Hits both ... 30-26

 

[RU848789]

How do you blow a 3-1 that badly? Give it to Thiam - bad decision.

 

[PatrickRU92]

Thiam next time dunk the s**t out of that. jeez

 

[RU848789]

Almost every pass Laurent makes is so badly telegraphed - so many of them get stolen or almost stolen

 

[RUTrack94]

Down by 8 ... Announcers say UM is tired.

 

[RU848789]

several minute scoring drought...

 

[PatrickRU92]

this is a big defensive set for us. Don't let them go up 9

 

[Knightmoves]

If we could shoot it, just a little, this team would be dangerous

 

[shields]

Need a stop.

 

[koleszar]

How F-in stupid, perfectly set up by coach foul but not in shooting motion. These kids are as dense as they come.

 

[PatrickRU92]

UGHHHHHH:flush:

 

[RUTrack94]

Fouling on the 3 ... Come on.

 

[Knightmoves]

That wasn't a foul on Freeman on the 3 point shot

 

[bac2therac]

Terrible foul there...why why

Rutgers isnt playing bad here at all...35-28...half

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Fvck me. Great opportunity in a foul sequence and we foul on a 3. At least the guy at the line only made 1.

 

[RUTrack94]

Ok only down 7 ... In striking distance.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

That wasn't a foul on Freeman on the 3 point shot

Definitely was a foul--not on the arms, but on the legs.

 

[BoroKnight]

Clearly the fault is Pikiell's. He did not explain to his players that fouls to give does not include fouling in the act of shooting. Obviously hiring a guy from a low-major is the real problem here.

6:30 games are tough for Jersey folks given work and traffic. But the effort is there.

 

[PatrickRU92]

Yes! open 3!

 

[koleszar]

Our guards are getting out hustled on the rebounds

 

[RU848789]

Like many other games this year, this one is winnable - just need to execute a bit better...

 

[RU848789]

And just like that, from 37-33 to 43-33.

 

[bac2therac]

Danger time....43-33

 

[RU Mike73]

Corey needs to play under control

 

[RUTrack94]

So much for the UM fatigue factor :(

 

[soundcrib]

We don't have the firepower this game. This doesn't feel winnable like some of the others.

 

[RU848789]

think that was a 2 by Nigel...

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Here comes our run.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

He was beyond the arc with both feet.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Love me some Mike Williams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[koleszar]

Why didn't Laurent just go up with the ball? Holy shit that's a lot of contact and no foul.

 

[bac2therac]

Best game of year by far

 

[PatrickRU92]

Best game of year by far

only if we win:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

 

[RU848789]

He was beyond the arc with both feet.

Right foot was as close as one could get - hope they don't review it - I couldn't tell upon replay, as the angle wasn't good.
