Rutgers vs Minnesota / Game #2 Thread

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Dude i had perfect angle watching it.

I don't know what those guys are seeing... Eugene's elbow hit Murphy in his shoulder blades.

 

[BOCA93]

Like virtually every game this season, RU decides to let one guy go bezerk. Can they please guard #22!!!

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

It's miserable watching this team play basketball. I need to go to Passages Malibu to get off this shit

 

[bethlehemfan]

Because our defense is trash tonight

At least a couple were not defendable. Sometimes you tip your hat. That said gotta find away to take him out of the game.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

How how HOW Do you let a freshman, who destroyed you the last time you played, do the same exact thing to you again? Somebody needs to knock him over on a 3 at the beginning of the half.

 

[kcg88]

Almost every Big Ten team brings in freshmen like Kalscheur every year. We need to get used to it.

For a possible 4 point.play and a team foul ? Sounds like sound strategy.

 

[RUChoppin]

Don't get the argument over the Omoruyi foul. Was pretty clear and a good call.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

But a hook looks like this.. you use it to get around the guy... that's not what EO did. His elbow was high.. but no hook.

Foul worth one point.

 

[RU205]

When can RU recruit a shooter like #22

You live & die by the 3.Minny in no different.They WILL cool off

 

[bac2therac]

Baker only one shot taken is a problem

Minny 7 assists to 1 for Ru

 

[zebnatto]

Bad half by coach, too, who seemed to be guessing on his lineups,

 

[BOCA93]

Doesn’t help that he’s been on the bench with 2 early fouls, the 2nd of which was laughable given the contact in this game

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Eugene wrapped his elbow and delivered a blow to Murphy's shoulder blade.

It was not a wrap like this image where the entire arm is being used.

Million dollar question.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

 

[bac2therac]

Agree

 

[FrankZ]

Only hope is to get a quick foul on 22. Certainly won’t outshoot him from 3.

 

[bac2therac]

So ru neutralizes coffey and murphy but now has adjust for the perimeter and that could open things up for those 2 again

Offensively not shooting bad just not valuing possessions

 

[bethlehemfan]

Agree

Lol but if we had someone go off 5-5 he would like a genius.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Well, that image is where you call a hook. Murphy uses his elbows all the time.

BTW.. I can see it LOOKING like a hook.. because that's how you start it.. but EO did not follow thru and actually hook him... didn't need to.. was by him.

 

[FrankZ]

Critical. Sit please

 

[motorb54]

Defenders need to stop cheating to the inside and leaving space for #22
They are then late recovering in an attempt to close out on the shooter
Baker does this a lot

 

[koleszar]

and the free throw woes continue

 

[tfio]

Mathis shooting free throws...yuck

 

[RUfromNJ]

Mathis my god.

 

[zebnatto]

Zero margin and 0/2 at line.

 

[FrankZ]

FTs, layups, etc are just awful

 

[AreYouNUTS]

More missed layups ughh

 

[tfio]

"Looked like a hook"...FOH

 

[koleszar]

Wow can Wenzel be any more biased against us. He needs a little more Matt Millen in him. "Rutgers fouls a lot they have to hope they get refs that don't call them"

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

OMG.. Wenzel says we foul a lot. Whattadouche.. all those open shots for Minny says otherwise

 

[FrankZ]

No call charge

 

[AreYouNUTS]

How in EARTH Was that not a charge

 

[bethlehemfan]

Wenzel sucks

 

[FrankZ]

Big 3

 

[PatrickRU92]

Please shoot more Ron!!!

 

[RUfromNJ]

Wenzel undoubtedly annoyed at the Harper 3
