Never easy beating the same team twice in the same season. Expecting a close game, and hopefully the balls bounce our way.

[RUJMM78]

Game started Rutgers leads 4-2.

 

[rutgerssax]

Someone tell the announcer to get the mike out of his mouth

 

[RUClassof67]

I heard the two most dreaded words. “Tina Napier”

 

[RUJMM78]

Turnovers by both teams Rutgers leads 9-6.

 

[RUJMM78]

13-8 Rutgers after 5 minutes

 

[Abro1975]

Paige for PSU is a talented player. She will give RU fits all night.

 

[Abro1975]

Viv resting Scaife a bit in the first quarter here.

 

[RUJMM78]

17-17 near end of first quarter.

 

[Abro1975]

Viv calls time out as PSU ties it 17-17. Paige with almost all the PSU points. Might be time to bring Scaife back in

 

[RUTrack94]

Sorry guys ... tuned in at 17-13 ... the jinx continues!!!!!

 

[Abro1975]

Hope this isnt' one of those WTF games.

 

[RUJMM78]

19-17 PSU end of first quarter.Scaife back on the floor .She needs to score .

 

[RUJMM78]

Page with 15 points leading PSU to a 23-19 lead.

 

[bac2therac]

just as I feared, hopefully its different in the final two quarters

 

[Abro1975]

PSU outrunning RU up and down the court. PSU up 25-21, their pressure giving RU fits.

 

[ScarletteK80]

page with 17. Tyler has not been playing????

 

[Abro1975]

RU w 7 turnovers, ugh. Cryor needs to be more careful w ball

 

[Abro1975]

Scaife 1-3 w 2 fouls now. wow

 

[RUJMM78]

PSU 25-24 .Scaife only 2 points, 5 minutes remaining second quarter.

 

[ScarletteK80]

OK, it's gonna be 6 on 5 for this game.

 

[Abro1975]

Hope Scaife heats up in 2nd half. Cryor struggling w turnovers

 

[bac2therac]

the issue is PSU has taken 8 more shots than RU whether it be by RU having more turnovers or PSU winning the offensive boards 8-3....cant let them have 2nd chance opportunities

Penn State by 5

 

[bac2therac]

now by 9...this is ridiculous...Penn State is a mediocre sub 500 team in this league.

 

[Abro1975]

wow, this is shocking now. PSU up 38-29

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers sleep walking on offense.PSU leads 38-29.When will Rutgers learn to make layups?

 

[Abro1975]

Scaife pretty much a non factor

 

[bac2therac]

is it 38-29 or 38-30...announcer on WCTC says 38-29....espn gametracker has 38-30

no RU fg for like 4:30 minutes

 

[ScarletteK80]

38-29 PSU half. AWFUL! Tyler is MIA.

 

[RUJMM78]

Regardless of sport Rutgers teams have great difficulty winning road games.

 

[RUClassof67]

NCAA Seeding committee just released their first listing and we come in at 15. But we need to turn it around in 2nd half. 1 seeds are UConn Miss St Louisville and Oregon.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Not gonna be 15 if this crap keeps up.

 

[RUJMM78]

This game is just another indicator that Scaife scoring output positive or negative has a big impact on game outcome.

 

[RUTrack94]

Well ... starting to think RU is 5th or 6th best in conference ... Penn State has 8 losses and is 2-4 in league so far ... I know it’s on the road, and it looks like we’ll struggle on the road based on this game and PU

They've lost to Maryland, Michigan, RU and Minn in conference.

 

[RUClassof67]

ESPN shows halftime score at 37-29 meaning that a PSU bucket originally credited as a 3 was actually a 2 pointer.

 

[RUfanDNT]

ESPN has the score as 37-29. Counted that one 3 as a 2 by Travascio-Green.

No need to pass judgements until the game is over. There is still a 2nd half to be played.

Looked like a 3, but I won't argue.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Paige starts where she left off, with 21 now. Figure out how to guard her, or forget about it.
