Rutgers vs Nebraska / Game Thread - BigTen Tournament Round One

[Tango Two]

30 minutes until the party starts

Go RU

 

[MadRU]

Tip off show just started

 

[ScarletDave]

Win this game and top off this amazing season. I’d put this as an equivalent to the 2005 football season. Good spurts, so close to the promised land, lots of hope that were right on the cusp. Top it off tonight

 

[Mr Magoo]

It’s been a while since we’ve gotten to wear white this late in the season.

 

[higgins3]

Rrrrrrrr

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

pre-game...

 

[JQRU91]

UUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!

Yes. To me tonight is crucial. Just win.

 

[PatrickRU92]

Go RU

 

[Mr Magoo]

Omaruwa?

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Omaruwa?

Tim Myles sounds like an idiot.

 

[RUsince52]

It's funny how almost all the announcers mention how good our rebounding is and the length on our team. Then we go out and get out rebounded by the opponent. Plus we give up some easy put backs at crucial points late in the game. I know by than we're probably in foul trouble, but no reason not to body up around the basket. No excuse for not playing well tonight especially with a personnel advantage.

We rank 25th in the country in rebounding. It's an easy and obvious talking point.

 

[bac2therac]

as usual rebounding and turnovers the keys

 

[RUsince52]

Can we make it to the first media timeout without committing a
foul ?

 

[PatrickRU92]

Is that logo supposed to be an "N"?

 

[RU848789]

If we come out focused and ready to play, we win. Let's hope so.

 

[ScarletKid2008]

LETS GOOOOO! LETS GET THE WIN

 

[RUsince52]

We rank 25th in the country in rebounding. It's an easy and obvious talking point.

I know, but they make it sound like a given.

 

[phlop87]

Come out with def intensity. Attack the rim. Don’t settle for jumpers

 

[RU848789]

Like I said in another thread, we need to pound it inside and get them in foul trouble - I'll be disappointed if we take more than about 10 treys.

First possession - go inside, draw a foul. Perfect.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

We really dont run any offensive sets

 

[JQRU91]

I know, but they make it sound like a given.

I'm sure they don't follow the team as closely as hardcore Rutgers fans do.

 

[Scangg]

First foul already!

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

We should win this

 

[bac2therac]

good active start

 

[RUsince52]

Such a wasted play passing to EO on the wing.

 

[MV9000]

hands looking Active on defense. Lets go RU

 

[BillyC80]

Gene needed to swing that out since he was double-teamed.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

We havent drove the once yet

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Finally mathis took it to the hole

 

[RU848789]

I like us trying to run and attacking the rim so far. Geo still cold...

 

[PatrickRU92]

Good D so far

 

[Scangg]

This game shouldn't be close. Let's take it to them early

 

[soundcrib]

Caleb please

 

[MadRU]

Mathis on Watson, like the move.

 

[BillyC80]

Finally mathis took it to the hole

And got fouled.

 

[bac2therac]

2nd foul on Nebby


RU defensive is excellent

Geo active defensively

RU already up 6-3 on the boards

I love the start

Mathis getting untracked early..please make free throws

 

[RUChow]

We should wear them down. That said, we've been beaten off the dribble almost every time on defense thus far. That's why we commit a lot of fouls.
