Rutgers vs Wisconsin / Game Thread

[Mr Magoo]

It's going to be tough to beat Penn State without Sanders.

as I just told the other guy, this is protocal in college hoops if the offense is running a play on the other end

"protocol" or subjective? I know - without question - I've lost my marbles when other teams have had the same thing happen, against us at THE RAC, and we lost out on great scoring opportunities because play was stopped.

 

[SirScarlet]

ive been watching college hoops for years and the far majority of time, play is not stopped if the ball has advanced into the other side of the court..have I seen it stopped yes, but most of the time not...its really not a big deal like some are making it out to be...the ref bashing on the board is so over the top all year long

Except this happened right under wiskys basket so i dont know what the heck youre talking about or why you are defending the ref on that play

 

[Rokodesh]

you know its over when 5 white guys are in

 

[sct1111]

I don't know if he's awful. I haven't seen him get the ball down low enough. He may have a low post move, but he's busy setting high screens.

I saw him brick a hook shot and try to finger roll a sure dunk which rolled of the back board. He looks very unconfident with the ball in his hands but then again he hasn't really played a whole lot.

 

[SDRU]

No Khalil Batie ?

 

[Rokodesh]

I think Wisconsin is the new duke basketball for teams I hate most in the country

 

[soundcrib]

Corey's foot looked backwards

 

[AreYouNUTS]

And the 19-point spread gets busted on a complete unnecessary foul with 4-seconds to go lol!

I love how Wisconsin plays and, unlike Duke, they don't play "dirty" or with an attitude.

 

[bac2therac]

I remember plenty of game at THE RAC, when officials stopped play in a case as such, if it wasn't a breakaway/imminent scoring opportunity, in the past.

maybe subjective not protocol, I have seen it stopped but most of the time its not, not when the other team is on offense. the ball had been advanced once the dust settled and Sanders was still down, the refs can not immediately stop everytime a player is down because not all the time the guy is really hurt.

not sure why we were guarding him like that when they were just going to run it out

Very little scoring from the front court will be a on going concern against B1G competition.

 

[MadRU]

Hope Corey heals fast, but didn't look good. Disappointed in the defensive effort by Corey and Nigel today. They have to refocus.

Mike continues to play hard throughout.

What on earth are you talking about???

Go back and watch the replay. Happened directly under their basket right in front of the ref...before any advancing of the ball. And pike was shouting at the ref to stop the play

Ref should have stopped the play immediately.

I like Wisconsin and hate Duke. duke does it all with McDonalds all Americans and the whiniest coach next to Boeheim. Wisconsin is a class operation.

You may be right. There's no reason he can't get a couple of dunks on guard penetration or a couple of putbacks on offensive rebounds. If he can give me solid D, 6 points, and 6 rebounds a game, I'd start him. With his athleticism, he has the ability to develop into a good big over the next couple of seasons.

 

[RUsojo]

Really?
And who would you have played instead?

Corey from the start or first sub, and if not, not at all. Why wait 10 minutes and give the game away?

I disagree. Corey needed to be sent a message. He needs to realize he is not that good, he cannot be selfish like that.

I love him as a player and think he has potential to be really good, but he's not there yet. He needs to grow up- I wouldn't have even played him in the first half

I'm ok with that if you bench him for the game. 10 minute penalty does no good for anyone.

all 3 Big 10 games so far today were blowouts

Blowout? Pike spotted them 9 points before bringing Corey in, and when Corey broke his ankle, it was an 11 point game with RU previously cutting the lead to 9.

Rutgers was -2 or close to it from Corey's start to finish.

Again, Pike gave the game up from the get go, and get Rutgers was within 9 under 8 minutes left. Then they go on a 11(?) point advantage after Corey's ankle and our season went down the drain.

 

[bowlgoal]

This was a 9 point game with 8 minutes to go and Corey got hurt. I thought we played very nervous basketball and then Williams really stepped up.

I thought our defense looked outstanding at times but we missed some key rebounds. My biggest concern right now is Corey. We need him badly.

did you think RU was going to win the game...no, likely it still would have been in double digits...this wasnt a game where the outcome was ever in doubt..do you think it ever was. Just because it was 9 points doesnt mean it was competitive. Look I love the battle and fight but....

and why do you keep the nonsense up about Dadika playing instead of Corey....too bad, discipline and messages have to be sent, the outcome wouldnt have changed if Sanders started believe me

 

[Bdodger2]

Agree with Bac. You cannot permit Sanders to engage in irresponsible conduct without consequences. If we lose a game as a result so be it (and I do not think there would have been a material difference in the result). To do otherwise would have a significant negative impact upon what the staff is attempting to accomplish. It would be nice if there were senior leaders on the team who read the riot act to Sanders as well. Unfortunately the team is so young that such folks may not be present.

Did I think they would win? No. Did I think they would play such good defense tonight? No. But they did. For 22 minutes they played them toe to toe and got better as the game went on. Not sure you can argue that much.
Could they have won if Corey played a full game. Absolutely. Could they win without him, absolute not. That showed.

You're arguing that not having the best player wouldn't make a difference, when just two years ago, Wisconsin didn't have their best player, and Rutgers won.

Nevertheless I'm not saying they were going to win. I'm saying they decided to give up that chance before tip, and at the 3 minute mark, and unexpectedly when Corey was helped off.

They don't stop the play unless the ball was on our end. Since the ball was on the other side then they keep playing.

Why? They play hard, as a team, and are skilled. They are good. Wish we weee this good.

Corey gave the game away in your scenario. Coaches make rules. The players know them and the consequences.

If there's a rule that says s missed flight equals 10 minutes on the bench then you win!

That's a broken ankle.

Jump to conclusions much? SMH [eyeroll]


In reality...
