I agree! A great team effort.
Corey Sanders stepped up with 31 pts 7 REBs
Baker 16 pts
Freeman 14 10 Rebs
Bullock 6pts 6 REBs
Is Bullock really 6'4 though? Saw him in person after storming the court against Seton Hall and he seemed at most 6'2.I know many don't like to celebrate "moral" victories around here, but I will. Playing without Mike and Eugene, this team showed so much heart out there today. The crowd was great and so was Corey. I've been on Corey after the last few games because frankly, he deserved it. His decision making and poor shooting deserved the criticism I showed him, but not today. He make great decisions and shot out of his mind. So did Freeman today. He was tough. Baker had a great game and Doorson and Doucoure (sp?) did IMO a very good job against Haas and Haarms.
Oh, and Bullock btw, "got game." You can see his athleticism. Yes, he's only 6'4" and needs to lose about forty pounds, but he can shoot and play. And toward the end of the game he nearly destroyed one of the Edwards down low. I think Ash could find one of his missing DT's on Rutgers BB team--LOL!
Again, it still sucks to lose, but to lose by 2 after losing by 31 in their house is a moral victory that I can be proud of.
According to posted measurements he's 6'4" but hey, you never know. All I know is he can play and he needs to lose weight, or maybe Ash can convince him to play football. He nearly knocked one of the Edwards out towards the end of the game.Is Bullock really 6'4 though? Saw him in person after storming the court against Seton Hall and he seemed at most 6'2.
He threw the best block I've seen all year. Put him at right guard and give the ball to Blackshear.According to posted measurements he's 6'4" but hey, you never know.

And the sooner fans like you realize that a game like today deserves the rest of the fans to give props to the team and those that played well. Your post was uncalled for and really brings nothing to the table. You are probably one of those that jump on Corey or Freeman or whoever when they need it but refuse to give credit when dueThere are no moral victories and the sooner fans learn that the better... this Rutgers team led by Sanders is not happy in that lockeroom... Bullock can play...he has heart something you can’t teach... Bullock needs to continue to lose weight and work on his conditioning... He can be a steady 8th man in the rotation...
Forget right guard. We need DT. Instead of dropping 40 pounds, have him gain twenty-five pounds of muscle and put him on the D-line.He threw the best block I've seen all year. Put him at right guard and give the ball to Blackshear.
He has those intangibles you can't teach.All I know is when Bullock is in things happen. He scores. He rebounds. And he is a "scrapper" which is what I had heard about him.
This. It's not a moral victory; it is still a loss. But as a fan, it is a far more enjoyable loss than the loss to Illinois. The game was entertaining. The team played hard. And maybe with a lucky bounce or two they could have won.Prefer a 2 point loss to highly ranked Purdue compared to a 31 point loss to co-cellar dweller Illinois
You are wrong, and probably very young. The whole point being it was not just another loss, oh NVM, not worth the time to spell it out for you.They played hard and inspired but just another loss. Lets see what happens against Indiana.
ToddB33... hey dummy... my post states that there are No MORAL victories at this level... Pike would tell you as much... I also have been following Rutgers Basketball since 1967... Season tickets in both sports for 40 years so don’t tell me what I should post ... Nobody carries the torch more for Rutgers than me....I believe I wrote my support for Bullock and his having heart... I would bet you are under 40 and was still in daddy’s nut sack when I started watching RU...
When you go to games do you only applaud good play if the team has the lead?There are no moral victories and the sooner fans learn that the better... this Rutgers team led by Sanders is not happy in that lockeroom... Bullock can play...he has heart something you can’t teach... Bullock needs to continue to lose weight and work on his conditioning... He can be a steady 8th man in the rotation...
