Rutgers vs Minnesota / Game Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
We are much quicker than this Minny team. I have a good feeling today. Go RU.
It's official. B1G refs still have it out for us for no apparent reason. I've seen 3 fouls that should have been called against Minnesota with no whistles
have you watched the team all season? He's one of the most agile 7 foot players on the planet.
because he was bumped before he started any shooting motion - this is not the NBA, it was the right call.
Can someone explain how the player comes in, swats the ball through Gettys hands and the ball goes out of bounds off of Gettys. Yet no foul.
he's been given space countless times at the top of the key this year where he's either had an open deep 2 or drives to the lane. Sure he passes it most of the time. But the way he runs the floor? I don't think you understand the balance it takes when you're not only that tall but have that giant sized frame period. Very difficult and he hustles all the time.
I'll take it since it at least gives a shot at picking up some points, especially if something clicks and we get over our mental issues at the line. But we are shooting 56% in conference play, and when you take into consideration that some of those were the front end of a 1-and-1, and we've left some sweet points on the floor. No way we don't shoot better for the rest of the season, at least getting to 65%. My prediction.
I love our defense now. Pike is shortening the shot clock for Minny by playing tight man and denying the ball to the open guys.
The law of averages never seems to work here in the twilight zone known as Rutgers.
