Rutgers vs Minnesota Game Thread 4PM 2/3/19

It's going to take some shots to win this game. Bourbon shots that I'm now pouring. We've lost 2-3 starters today to injury, should be up by 50 and its a 3 point game to an awful Minn team.
 
This game could set basketball back a few years. Minn with just 4 fts in 2nd quarter so far.
Unwatchable basketball would be good expression to describe the horrendous performance by both teams.29-26 Rutgers leads near end of third quarter.
 
RU 11-37 shooting. The final will be like a girls HS game from 1950
 
Feed the ball to Carey down low every time. Every single time. pick up fouls or layups.
 
Cryor finally back in. Why did she sit out the entire first half? Like Arella sat out the entire first half last game?

RU Down 37-31. Commentators questioning Vivian about her very odd substitution patterns
 
Its a good thing Rutgers isn't playing Maryland today because they would be losing by 30 points.
 
I don't understand what is happening. Maybe Cviv can't see from down below the court like that?? If you wanted me to pick lineups and subbing for us to lose a game, I'd do exactly what she did today. I'm so mad. Minnesota is TERRIBLE !!!!!
 
Why did the referee signal a charge call on that last play?

Also Cherise Wilson getting called for literally 0 contact
 
It doesn’t help that we lost Arella early 3rd quarter. Offense is totally confused.
 
It's not the refs today, we have 0 offense and just a terrible lineup and half court game plan. Cviv is sleeping
 
Very odd that Coach stringer would bench Cryor almost the entire game , like she benched Giuranttes almost the entire first half last game, which almost cost them the game. I think it will cost them the game today since Giurantes, one of their best offensive players, is out injured. Unless Ciani is hurt.

Just a dreadful game to watch. ugh

RU rebounding invisible today

Minn up by 9. vomit.
 
RU needs a strong 4th quarter if they are going to pull this one out.
I'm afraid this might turn into one of those games that the team just can't find a way out of playing poorly and away games are hard to win on their own, even if the opponent is not supposed to be as good.
 
Wow ... I know it’s on the road, but Minn Is 3-7 and 11th in conference.
 
Damn ... 37 points???? .... team exhausted from the last game?
 
Wow. I got in about a half hour ago and turned on BTN+. WTH is going on?? Is this the same team that beat Maryland and went on that nice run to first place? They look lost, disinterested... something (idk what).
 
Wow ... I know it’s on the road, but Minn Is 3-7 and 11th in conference.
I'm just going to consider the loss, if RU doesn't pull it out, one of those days that nothing went right and hope it isn't repeated the next game.

Being home for Maryland will help, but playing like today will make for the type of afternoon I wouldn't wish on any sports fan that I like.
 
Minnesota stinks and Rutgers sloppy performance is making the opponent look good. Stringer's coaching in this game has to make you wonder what is going on because the team performance is horrendous.There is no excuse for such a performance and Rutgers will see how fast they drop in national rankings if they lose this game.

Expect being dropped in rankings if this game is a loss.
But also expect the reason why team lost to be addressed.
Bad games like this happen, though playing like this team is today can't be excused
 
The players didn't care so neither do I. Let me know when they decide to try again, it's been 4 games since they gave a crap. See ya
 
Got to chalk this up to WTF game

CC with limited minutes
Caitlin Jenkins no minutes at all
Arella hurt early 3rd.

Move on and prepare for Maryland

That's not the definition of a WTF game. A game where a really bad team plays above their head is such a game. This one was almost coordinated by our own coaches. Minnesota played about the worst game for a team all year and still beat us. 4 baskets in the first half and still beat us. No excuses.

Game over, bad loss 60-46, and the worst part is Maryland is coming to RU. RU could very well lose it's first place standing with this awful game and Maryland coming in.

Losing Giurantes , Benching Cryor, Ice Cold shooting and careless turnovers, and waiting way too long to employ the 55 defense, was just too much to overcome today.

OH Well, the season was going too way smooth, a tough stretch was bound to happen.

At least the Wrestling turned out well today.
 
Really thought WBB was going to win a title this year ... expected RU to lose to UMD and win all the games against their weak ass schedule and be co-champs

bad games make everyone look at fault.
When things are just messed up, sometimes nothing a coach tries will make it right.
But to each their own and I can't say CVS isn't at fault for coaching mistakes today.

This game is the definition of a WTF game really is.
No one knows WTF really happened to cause the team to play so badly.

Beg to differ. It’s precisely a WTF game. We couldn’t shoot. We didn’t rebound. For some reason CC started but wasn’t available for a large portion of the game. Caitlin Jenkins didn’t even appear to be on the bench. Arella gets hurt early in the 3rd quarter and misses rest of the game. We had a great comeback against a solid team at home in our last game. We have a week off before playing for first place in the conference and we came out totally flat and could never get started. WTF.
 
Horrendous performance but we have seen this before...lets hope its not the start of the usual swoon

This team is not playing well heading into the toughest part of the schedule. Its why i wantt celebrating that game vs Indiana.

What was first half of indiana
 
Minn only shot 32 % from the field but made 25 FREE THROWS of 31 attempts. Rutgers only shot 34% from the field. RU made 5 of 10 free throws. We gave up 18 offensive rebounds and overall were outrebounded 44-31. That points to effort differential.
Why the hell was Cryor not in the game when it counted?
Putting her in late to try to rescue the sinking ship was not effective.
We were outscored by 20 points in the second half.

i just looked at the box score and saw that Jenkins, Calhoun and Wallace did not play at all. From what I read here, CC also didn't get many minutes. Did the announcers say anything about why or do we need to wait and see if anything is said at the post game press conference?
