If we lose this game it will be because of the poor foul shooting

If we lose this game it will be because of the poor foul shooting

Not to mention all of the threes we've given up.

49-51 end 3

 

[RU MAN]

OK ladies. Only down two. I hope Arella's not gassed. She is taking over the game and needs to keep it going.

 

[bac2therac]

okay here we go 51-49 after 3

RU outscored them 22-13. Guirantes with 26 is unstoppable..keep riding her...but its the defense that made the difference and has to keep it up and limit those open 3s.

 

[RU MAN]

Good points BAC. And we can't go into our recent funk where we get outplayed in the 4th. BTW, I think the officials called it very fair for both teams in the 3rd. We need to see them do that again in the 4th quarter.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Hit your FT's! I can't believe even Arella can't hit her FT's.

THIS

OK ladies. Only down two. I hope Arella's not gassed. She is taking over the game and needs to keep it going.

1 on 5 ... She's amazing and we need everything she's got tonight.

 

[RUJMM78]

Guirantes has 26 points at the end of third quarter Rutgers trails 51-49.

 

[RU MAN]

Jordan needs to come in about the 5 minute mark.

 

[RU MAN]

Tied. LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[bac2therac]

53-51...RU

stomp these green ladies

 

[RU MAN]

UP TWO!

 

[RU MAN]

Great D!

 

[RU MAN]

We're not blocking out.

 

[RU MAN]

Tekia, stay in control. You're out of control.

 

[bac2therac]

some really awful offensive possessions..please stop giving it to Singleton

now Sparty up 2

 

[RU MAN]

Good timeout by C Viv.

 

[ScarletDave]

Singleton very very disappointed in her energy. On both ends of the court. Very sad

 

[ScarletteK80]

Singleton needs to come out, who to put in?

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

The defence in the paint is horrible. Getting out hustled and rebounded. Now is not the time. They can own this if they just play position and continue to find AG.

 

[RU MAN]

Come on ladies. Three straight crap possessions. Let's go.

 

[bac2therac]

6-0 Sparty run and it seems like we stalled on offense and lost momentum

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

And they are just throwing the ball at the backboard. Panic shots.

 

[RU MAN]

Right now, I would let Arella drive and/or dish it to Jordan. But no one else should try to score unless they're absolutely open.

 

[bac2therac]

going to have to get defensive turnovers and score in transition

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers strategy for the rest of the game should be to give the ball to Guirantes and let her take the shots.The defense has allowed too many offensive rebounds.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Play harder on D and slow down on offense. Let AG save energy on D and use it other end.

 

[RU MAN]

Come on Arella. Take her.

 

[RU MAN]

That ball was out on MSU. Don't they review?

 

[RU MAN]

Jordan has no hops. She is so slow.

 

[RU MAN]

Once again, 4th quarter they don't show up. Now we're down 7.

 

[bac2therac]

yup thats it game over 9-0 run after getting the lead, RU just played awful on offense and you could see that 3 coming a mile away

better team won tonight, this wasnt a joke. MSU is better and Cherub did a great job adjusting after RU took the lead.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Did you see that? Rebounds 43 to 23!

 

[RUJMM78]

Woeful defense against 3 point shot from the corner,Michigan State leads 60-53.

 

[RU MAN]

What the hell is Gilles taking that three? Hey C Viv your best player hasn't touch the ball in the last two possession. Why? Terrible.

 

[ScarletDave]

The most concerning things : 1) we never pressed - why
2) never made any adjustments cviv on guarding open 3s
3) absolutely no energy on rebounds. Very disappointing

 

[Fishky]

What a let down and we wonder why we aren’t ranked here you go lose to a mediocre team at home.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Lol..kks best shot was a pass.

 

[RU MAN]

And Sanders brings up the ball like we have all day.
