Rutgers vs Illinois / Game Thread

[Tango Two]

Lets do it

 

[RuBird]

I’m in!

 

[mikefla]

I am listening on radio...fresh off a RU 19 St Johns 15 lax win !!!!

 

[bwrlaw]

I think we can....

 

[RUONTHERISE]

Come on Rutgers!

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

Gonna be tough

 

[koleszar]

Value the ball and we can win this.

 

[tfio]

Value the ball and we can win this.

Good start

 

[bac2therac]

sigh...why does this team not value the ball...Eugene and Geo need to play smarter

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

We hate lob passes...unless they work...lol

 

[koleszar]

Good start

Well we got neither so far. O well.

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

3 turnovers in 3 minutes, nice

 

[Scangg]

EO with some point forward

 

[RUsince52]

Lets settle down !

 

[tfio]

TEZZZ

 

[koleszar]

Mathis back on track.

 

[bac2therac]

Mathis 5 points already...great sign

 

[koleszar]

Harpers not

 

[bac2therac]

Harper still cant hit anything..so we may see Kiss

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Harper should fake the three and drive...dont settle.

 

[tfio]

Always someone on the other team who doesn't miss all game...looks like it's gunna be Frazier today

 

[MadRU]

Not valuing the ball.

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

WHy is harper playing off his guy and pushing him towards shaq at the 3 point line when he is their best 3 point shooter. Play them tight and let them drive and you will get help. Jesus our 3point defense is so bad

 

[ScarletDave]

So other teams are allowed to slap the back board after a big play. Got it

 

[MadRU]

Harper looks rushed, needs to slow himself down.

 

[ScarletDave]

Keys to win today: fake 3s and drive inside and get fouled. Other teams in foul trouble is how we’ve won in the past. #2, play tight D on the 3. I’m not saying reach in/grab and foul, but play up on the guy not being afraid for them to run past you - we have rebounders and help D. Too many open 3s now it keeps happening, time to change the D that way.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Frazier...yet another sharpshooter we have to defend. SMH.

 

[Mr Magoo]

We are definitely not going to dictate tempo. We can’t win like this.

 

[bac2therac]

play smarter Caleb

 

[PatrickRU92]

MUST HIT OUR OPEN 3s!!! Everyone else does it!

 

[MadRU]

Playing at their tempo, not good.

Just said coach’s mom passed, RIP

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Pike’s mom passed away this morning. Condolences to him and his family.

 

[bac2therac]

Caleb overwhelmed..take a seat

 

[kevin0214]

Just don’t play smart

 

[JQRU91]

Turnover city.

 

[Mr Magoo]

About what I expected so far...unfortunately.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Pikels mom passed last night...did I hear that right?

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Ugh...

 

[bac2therac]

Pike’s mom passed away this morning. Condolences to him and his family.

wow sorry to hear this.....condolances to him and his family...has to be difficult to go through coaching this game

 

[koleszar]

Turnovers abundant for Rutgers once again in the early going.
