One of the sweetest victories in a long time. Especially after the game two weeks ago. Should be fun Wednesday night.

[SAE96]

Big win for the program. This is starting to feel like a stepping stone season. Next year looks to be very exciting.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Best game of the year hands down

 

[RU205]

Beat Iowa and the refs.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

The depth, especially inside, really helped tonight. In just a couple of years, Pike has transformed this team.

He saw we lacked size.. and got it. He has seen we need shooters.. and he's getting them.

Huge win!!

Geo distributed the ball very well tonight. 9 assists. He realized it was his teammates’ night to go off. Another great performance tonight.

 

[RuBird]

Someone posted they were worried about the Pysche of the team after the loss to Iowa. Not calling you out, just an amazing coaching job by Pike. His players bELieve they can win against anyone even on their court. Let’s go boys, lots of season left!

 

[RC85]

Great Great Great

Only regret is that we'd win by 25 without the crappy foul calls against us.

 

[80yrdPacheco]

Ron Harper Jr. is the f’ing recruiting steal of all time!!!!!!!

 

[czxqa]

That's the best game I've seen in years. What a win.

 

[RUsince52]

BIG WIN and we looked great the whole game. Things are getting brighter on the Banks.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

I Douby Lieve that I Like Pike.

Thiam or Harper for game MVP?

Was great to see Thiam step up, but we would have still won without his 13 points. Got to be Harper.

Ron Harper Jr. is the f’ing recruiting steal of all time!!!!!!!

He had 27 tonight, just amazing

 

[ancienthooper]

Gotta mention Connor MCCaffery jacking a douche 3 at the buzzer. SMH.

 

[RUTrack94]

Awesome!!!!
YES! YES!! YES!!!!
Clinched best finish ever!
One more win = 1st round bye!!!!!
One more win = .500 regular season
Pike = B1G Coach of the Year!!!!

 

[80yrdPacheco]

He had 27 tonight, just amazing

It’s not that he had 27, he had 27 as a freshman, on the road, against the 22nd ranked team. He should freshmen of the week honors.

 

[RuBird]

When you shoot 50% from the field, 47% from the 3, play defense and rebound the way we did you can live with shooting 57% from the line. I say this as I am chewing on Tums

 

[tfio]

9th place

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Hey.. you think Coach McCaferty drove over to yell at the refs after this game?

 

[ColonelRutgers]

It’s not that he had 27, he had 27 as a freshman, on the road, against the 22nd ranked team. He should freshmen of the week honors.

On 9-13 shooting, 4-7 from three, 5-5 from FT line and 5 boards to boot. Impressive s---.

Thiam or Harper for game MVP?

I think the whole team, and staff are co-game MVP's.

 

[RUinFla]

Just got home to see the score. But guess who has it on the DVR? Will watch it tomorrow. Not a big shooting day from Geo, but 9 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals. Once again, a different freshman steps up. This time it is Harper. Other times, Mathis. Or Johnson. Or McConnell. Future looks good, and what we have done will resonate on the recruiting trail. Fine job by the staff, and hopefully the last poster to say he or she can't see any progress will come over into the light.

Someone tell Ash this is what a rebuild is supposed to look like. Pretty damn impressive job by the players and coaches. Each week they just keep getting better, I'm in awe.

 

[RuBird]

Geo was a non factor yet we still won.
Eugene played on one leg yet we still won
We missed two dunks yet we still won

Joking aside love this team so much!

 

[Dpgru]

We shoot threes and we are very, very tough to beat. WE BELONG,!!

 

[Pancho1939]

Two games in a row pikiel has been a magician with his substitutions. He has been great managing the game. Credit to him and his staff. Everyone is firing on all cylinders with this program.

 

[MADHAT1]

Unbelievable, but this team is making believers of all that see it play.
This win is just another example of that.

Classy post. Good luck the rest of the way

Beat Iowa and the refs.

This is spot on. The officiating for this game was atrocious. At one point Iowa had 31 FT attempts to our 11. Think about that. I watched the entire game and every time they either drove to the basket or went up for an offensive rebound, these shitty officials call a foul. Meanwhile, Bohannen, that whiny little bitch, kept pushing off and not getting called for an offensive foul. In one sequence he pushed off three times right in front of the official and nothing was called. Meanwhile Carter and Johnson breathed on Cook, Krieger or Garza and were called with the foul. Horrible officiating and yet we still beat the crap out of them in their sold out arena. Beautiful.

Geo definitely was not a non factor....Geo was instrumental in this win. At the key juncture he made a few plays that stopped that one Iowa run. He brought calm and leadership in the 2nd run.

I hope LaVelle Neal was watching

My apologies, meant in the scoring column. Most nights he does not score 1 in the first half and 9 for the game. Again no disbarrage to Geo.
