[ScarletteK80]

8-4 Wisc. 1st TO. Don't see Noga on bench but I could be wrong.

 

[Abro1975]

Ice cold start down 8-4 w 4:30 left in qtr. Only T Mack has scored for RU. No buckets no 55

 

[Abro1975]

After 1, RU trails 13-11.

Wisc playing a collapsing zone, so far RU cold, especially Arella w only 2 pts on foul shots.

Wallace and Davenport getting beat on the glass.

T Mack playing very hard w 5 pts and 3 rebounds

Wisc best player is from NJ, Willingboro, Imani Lewis

 

[ScarletteK80]

13-11 Wisc end of one. Jordan out with 2 quick fouls. Maori in for a minute, now Tyia is in.

 

[RUClassof67]

Alexis Morris seeing her first action in the game

 

[RUClassof67]

Lots of rust out there. Turnovers and poor shooting.

 

[Abro1975]

5 :00 left in half, RU trails 19-18. Could be a lot worse as Arella G can't find the basket, she is 0-7 shooting. RU led by T Baby 8 pts and Singleton w 6 pts. No production from Wallace or Davenport. Without hitting baskets RU can't get the 55 going. Turning the ball over too much by our guards as well.

 

[ScarletteK80]

19-18 Wisc. media TO. Alexis looked a bit nervous and came out. Arella brutal play so far, that's gotta change in a hurry. T-Mack looks great.

 

[RUJMM78]

32-26 Wisconsin half time.

 

[RUClassof67]

Down 32-26 at the half. Not shooting well.

Has anyone been able to find a box score??

 

[motorb54]

UGH!

 

[ScarletteK80]

OK CViv you have lots to talk about. They(Wisc) look to have 15 players dressed to our 9?

 

[Abro1975]

RU losing at the half 32-26. Other than T Mack team is Cold cold cold, and getting eaten alive under the boards.

Mack w 12 pts and 5 rebounds

Arella only 6 pts on a shocking 2-12 shooting performance

Wisc has 8 pts on foul shooting, RU only 3

Wisconsin doing a good job breaking the press.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Down 32-26 at the half. Not shooting well.

Has anyone been able to find a box score??

[ScarletteK80]

Is anyone listening on radio? If so, have they said where Noga is?

Thank you.

 

[ScarletteK80]

So what's CVS to do, start Jordan or not?

 

[ea_1]

Well, not what I wanted to see when I checked the score.

Guirantes and Mack played the entire first half. Is Arella getting a green light to shoot herself into a rhythm? Difference in score is really at the FT line. Second half, here we go.

 

[Abro1975]

So what's CVS to do, start Jordan or not?

Wallace hasn't even managed to get a shot off with the Wisc collapsing Zone, meanwhile Singleton is 3-3 shooting. Viv needs to scheme a way to get our bigs more shots, and pray our guards start hitting. 2-18 shooting from the outside between AG, KK, Zippy and Alexa

correction - Wallace has taken 1 shot, Davenport 0.

 

[ScarletteK80]

37-26, crap. Quick time out CVS.

 

[ea_1]

I see RU player getting credit for basket but points going to Wisc. Anyone else?

 

[RUJMM78]

37-26 Wisconsin third quarter.Rutgers has yet to score.Some day Rutgers basketball teams will learn how to score on the road.

 

[ea_1]

Second-chance points big difference now.

RU shooting improved a bit then hit the skids again, but UW improved even more and maintained, shooting 60% in the frame. Badgers lead 46 32 with 3:47 left in 3Q.

 

[ScarletteK80]

KK is MIA, no excuse for the 5th year senior.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Unless something drastic changes we are done.

 

[RUJMM78]

46-32 Wisconsin,still third quarter.WCTC announcers not happy about Rutgers performance because they expected a win.

 

[ea_1]

Looks like it is back to FT attempts as the defining difference. Sidearm States seems all over the place on this game with PxP. I am having difficulty following this one.

 

[RC66]

Is Noga off team?

 

[RUtrumpet92]

I dont have BTN+ so I am not watching, but the stats say Guirantes is 4-15 from the floor. Yikes. Mack is 5-9 and the rest of the team is a combined 11-33. We can't beat tough opponents without more players contributing on O.

 

[nikoru09]

it don't matter if we have all four, and five star players. mickey d all American's, and a hall of fame coach.....we always seem to deflate somewhere along the way....doesn't matter the sport........Lombardi said it best..."success breeds success".

 

[ea_1]

Is Arella only taking jumpers? She is 4-4 from FT line. Drive to the basket!

 

[RUJMM78]

End of third quarter Wisconsin leads 53-44.

 

[RUClassof67]

A couple of mistakes late in the 3rd cost us 4 points. Bad foul with 1.9 secs left gives Wisconsin a gift 2 from the ft line

 

[ea_1]

End 3Q RU 44 UW 53. Pattern seems to be make a run then put them at the line to stop momentum. Good news is RU continues to increase shooting percentage. Unfortunately, Wisconsin has also.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Maybe the Badgers mostly using the same five all game long is starting to wear them down. Margin is down to 54-50.

 

[RUJMM78]

Wisconsin starting to choke under Rutgers full court press 55-54 and it could have been even better by making more layups.
