Basketball Rutgers vs Illinois / Game Thread

[Salvi's Headband]

We might lose by 50

 

[Woody522]

Bo borowski probably blowing the all american at the half time break.

The dude should have 3 fouls already

 

[Rokodesh]

Sorry but he still has bad hands

Hes got much better hands than Myles offensively

 

[robjknight]

Time to watch soccer

 

[FIJI'83]

Are you permitted to tap out in basketball?

 

[kt124]

jeez we really might be back in the basement this season

 

[OTBOTOR]

Just turned on the game.
21-9
Olley oop to Kofi for a layup.

WTF is going on?

You just started watching. The RU BB team has been watching the game since tip.

 

[Danprusa_4]

Reality is we’re just not even close to being able to compete with them or most Big10 teams rest of the year and more to come will be very rough if we don’t recruit shooters now

 

[NYSportsFan]

Solid effort being given tonight boy, no question…. Standing around on offense. Leaving shooters wide open. No one grabbing boards. I gotta say, it’s so much fun to watch haha

 

[jordkap]

This is going how I thought it would unfortunately… Illinois is a good team and hard to beat, but a bad shooting day and it’ll get ugly

 

[MCKnight2004]

Same story, can’t score, abandon any realm of offense, go 1 on 1 and force shots, affects their defensive effort

 

[RUJMM78]

Embarrassing performance.Lack of shooters and a road game are a bad combination for success.

 

[BigEastPhil]

This game is hard on the eyes.

 

[KnightLife1994]

Last offensive possession - harper dribbling around. Jones stands on the wing in the same spot for 5+ seconds without a single ounce of movement.

How do we run no offensive sets?

Mag looks lost. Runs around on defense like bigfoot.

Stick Miller right in Plummer’s grill the rest of the night. Who cares if he cant score - neither can anyone else!

 

[Danprusa_4]

Need this game to hit triple zeros now lol

 

[Salvi's Headband]

We made a shot!!

 

[rtabachk]

This team is so bad lol. Awful.

 

[jkernpop]

Goaltending

 

[KnightLife1994]

Might want to cover the 3 point line

 

[jerzeyguy]

Coleman Hawkins locking Ron. I wanted him bad in his recruiting class. But obviously Pike isn't winning that battle

 

[bac2therac]

We dont run offense

Year 6

 

[NickRU714]

Harper taken out of game by taller defender.Illinois leads 18-7

This why his draft prospects have always been limited.
At 6’6” he is an NBA 2 and will be covered by taller guys a majority of the time.

He needs to be able to create his own shot for serious pro prospects.

 

[jkernpop]

New strategy- try to foul kofi out and pray they miss shots

sorry offense

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

Another 3. Clemson game officially an an abberation

 

[ColonelRutgers]

"my best team"

 

[bac2therac]

Cant win playing 4 wings

 

[BillyC80]

Jones heating up

 

[mikeyo]

Are you permitted to tap out in basketball?

Maybe they should have a ten-run rule like they do in little league

 

[BillyC80]

Miller forces a travel

 

[FrankZ]

"my best team"

It’s going to play in my head all year. Inexcusable quip.

 

[trotter]

These announcers are dicks!

 

[NickRU714]

Time to watch soccer

76ers Hawks should be a good game on ESPN

Also Nets v. the surprisingly frisky Timberwolves starting.

 

[RU205]

Game is too fast for Jones and Miller right now. They are young and need a few games to settle down

 

[KnightLife1994]

Goodness

 

[Danprusa_4]

Don’t worry Paul everything’s fine this year lol that was a crazy block

 

[Randal7]

In the era of the shooter, we have nobody who can hit a jumper. And it’s year 6

 

[RUJMM78]

Illinois with seven 3 pointers.

 

[bac2therac]

Well at least Miller has balls

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Fvck yeah jalen. At least someone cares and wants it.

 

[KnightLife1994]

LETS GO MILLER. FRESHMAN SHOWING MORE BALLS THAN ANYONE ON THE TEAM.

No tech on 33 shoving him????
