Rutgers vs Ohio State / Game Thread

[RutgersRaRa]

Laurent for 3!

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Laurent. Holy God!

 

[PatrickRU92]

WOW! Laurent!!

 

[RU848789]

Thiam, Laurent and Nigel with treys - holy crap!

 

[itsRtime]

Laurent the x factor!

 

[MikeR0102]

rough start, but good effort.

 

[RU848789]

RU leads 18-17!

 

[PatrickRU92]

And.......we've got the lead!

 

[MikeR0102]

Up 1! 18-17!

 

[bac2therac]

3-4 from 3.....RU 10-0....slowing things down is going to work....the games pace was at a track meets before...similar to the first half in the first meeting, RU slowed things down

If RU can dictate pace they can frustrate OSU and suddenly OSU looks very ordinary...its all about bother OSU so they can not find their groove

 

[sport2231]

I love Gettys rebounding. He needs to slow down on the offensive side right now. That's two put backs he has missed.

He is too excited/nervous

 

[RUJMM78]

Ohio State 21-18.Laurent with 5 points.Rutgers missing too many layups.

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers does not quit...thats why team hate to play us because they have to be focused when they build their leads

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Turnovers are hammering us.

 

[RUONTHERISE]

In this!

 

[koleszar]

Ohio State 21-18.Laurent with 5 points.Rutgers missing too many layups.

2 foot in seems to be another crutch for us.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Eugene continues to display the skill level of an average high shool player. His handle is worse than most high school players

 

[sport2231]

If we can keep it close I think it's a great sign. 3 travels, missed layups, double dribble all signs of the the mind moving faster then the game for some of these guys.

We will relax. I don't see us getting blown out at this point

 

[BillyC80]

All things considered 21- 18 is good for now.

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers playing better defense with zone.Staying close is important at early stage of game.

 

[koleszar]

Sanders is doing nothing but standing around.

 

[RUsince52]

2 foot in seems to be another crutch for us.

We're better from the foul line.

 

[G- RUnit]

Williams killing us offensively again sorry but it's true.

 

[BillyC80]

Williams cold from deep.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Williams, Freeman, Sanders 2-15. Best of the Rest picking up the slack.

 

[BillyC80]

Nigel!

 

[RUsince52]

Gettys open jump shot above the FL, doesn't take it and we miss the 3.

 

[bac2therac]

tie score.....23 all....OSU stymied....bury them now

 

[RUsince52]

Nigel!

Looked good all the way.

 

[BillyC80]

Tie game, RU with the ball!

 

[ColonelRutgers]

We ain't pretty, but you look up and every game we're hanging in there.

 

[RUONTHERISE]

Nigel johnson!!!!

 

[PatrickRU92]

Tell you what you really have to like the defensive potential of Thiam. He's a pain in the a$$ and his length is annoying to the offensive player. If he can get his O on track he could be a very good player

 

[RutgersRaRa]

We ain't pretty, but you look up and every game we're hanging in there.

 

[BillyC80]

Agree on Thiam's D. He moves his feet.

 

[RUJMM78]

23-23 with 3 minutes remaining in first half.Sanders has yet to score but Johnson has 6 points.

 

[bac2therac]

We ain't pretty, but you look up and every game we're hanging in there.

OSU had 17 points with over 12 minutes and 8 minutes later just 23...the RU defense is for real and scraps to make other teams play ugly, if only we had a shooter

 

[lilphilw]

Sanders and freeman are cold as the announcer said but somehow tied. Definitely encouraging that everyone else is stepping up on O

 

[shields]

The announcers have said several times the rims are very tight.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Freeeeeeeemannnnnnn!!!!

 

[RU848789]

Up 25-23 with Sanders scoreless.
