Basketball Rutgers snaps skid at Northwestern behind red-hot shooting without Harper

[greenknight]

I will say this when AB is on mannnn is he on. When he is off he is off. He is insane today

 

[zappaa]

He plays like Derrick Henry

He could play TE for GS

 

[koleszar]

Pike should be fired for that last shot play and allowing JWill to do what he just did.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Wow. Whatta half by Ace !

Does he hit 40?

 

[The RUT]

Ace doesn't get the ball last possession?

 

[Rokodesh]

Jeremiah SMH

Ace with 3 guys on him is a better shot

 

[darkcheck]

Very selfish from JWill there

 

[Degaz-RU]

I wasn’t going to post in the game thread, but geezus is Ace on a heater, or what?!

24 points on 9-10, 4-4, 2-2

Imagine Will taking that shot with Acuff and Ace on the floor 🤣

 

[robjknight]

Williams dribbles away the timeclock to close out the half.

 

[RUDivision]

Cut Jwill at half time

 

[tm_nj]

Did Pike finally learn how to feed the hot hand?

 

[FIJI'83]

No play set up to get Ace final shot. 🤓

 

[BillyC80]

Ace with 24 and maybe the best news is he avoided a third foul. Good risk/reward gamble by Pike.

 

[RU Mike73]

Well done boys (Ace). Didn’t think we could win without DH but just may. Play hard.

 

[Rokodesh]

Ok great bounce back in the first half. Overall playing well. Just don't do anything stupid in the second half.

 

[bac2therac]

RU finishes at 67%...Northwestern shooting 54%

Ace 9-10..rest of team at 7-14 50%

really an odd game

Let Ace shoot about 15 more times in the 2nd half

43-35 is a nice sized lead on the road

team finding ways to step up and eat with Harper

 

[robjknight]

I would think NW is taking all of halftime trying to figure out how to stop ACE

 

[Simce91]

Very selfish from JWill there

His basketball IQ is low

 

[RULegion]

Jwill loves to dribble…what no points for dribbling 😂

 

[rubs]

Williams holds the ball and we get horrible final shot. Got to play smarter!

 

[KnightTerrors]

Forget about all the negativity and enjoy one of the best basketball players in the world putting on a show in a Rutgers jersey.

6/12 FTs

I hope he goes for 40+, this fan base could use something like that right now.

 

[fatsam98]

What an absolutely ridiculous half from Ace. God damn. Feels like we can actually survive the usual Derkack and JWill nonsense this game

 

[koleszar]

No. Ace just needs to be selfish. Pike allowed JWill to dribble out the half. WTF coach has no accountability over his players.

 

[robjknight]

Dortch and Grant playing well. Should have gotten more minutes earlier this season.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Ace Bailey FG 9-10 and 4-4 from 3 for 24 of 43 pts in the 1st half. That's just crazy after an off night vs Mich St. He always responds after an off night with one of these.

The first half from Ace is exhibit A of why you have to take top 3 HS recruit, if possible.

BOX SCORE:

 

[Shelby65]

Ace doesn’t need teammates. Our problems are solved.

Chuck Norris couldn’t have stopped him in the first half.

 

[robjknight]

Derkack had his best game against MSU. If he could duplicate 1/2 of that along with ACE, we should win going away.

 

[koleszar]

Need to coach smarter and limit his minutes for sh*t like that. Davis seems to be OK this game.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Pike should be fired for that last shot play and allowing JWill to do what he just did.

I'm just glad we didn't shoot early and allow Northwestern to score at the buzzer.

 

[FIJI'83]

8 point half time lead. Must try to maintain most of it by the first media timeout.

 

[shields]

I was afraid Ace would get a charge and have 3 fouls.

 

[greenknight]

Derkack is so lucky not to have 2 charges

That was not even close to a charge on the 2nd one, that's why you practice jumping sideways driving to the hoop to take the charge out of equation. If you have a little space and dude is planted easy to draw the blocking foul if you are in control or dont leave your feet.

How do we build off this first half and not squander it? Asking Pike if he’s reading this board at halftime
