Wisconsin vs Rutgers 03/05/20 game thread

[ScarletteK80]

Let the post-season begin. Game to start around 2:30 on BTN.
Dear team, we know you beat them two times already this year. Please, please don't let that stat change the way you play. First game you only beat them by three, 64-61, 2nd game you won by twenty at the RAC 63-43.
They will be very hungry!
GO RU!

Odds they lose today?

Odds they lose today?

Given the large disparity between the 1st two games who knows. Also, if Morris, and Maddox are DNP's due to injury, our bench is very, very short. Fouls will be a big issue as well, pray for decent refs.

10-8 Wis. up 3+ left in 1st. This will not do.

 

[ScarletteK80]

13 all, end of 1st. Settle down ladies. Stupid foul by Jordan as well.

 

[wngarbarini]

Tied at 13 after 1. We were 4 of first 5 shots then 0 for 6. Have to do better. They threw a zone against us which always gives us trouble

 

[ScarletteK80]

Migliore with her 2nd three!

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

2nd half team both games against them this year. Not stressing yet nor am I assuming we repeat those efforts.
So far the refs have not been an issue. YEAH!

 

[RUJMM78]

Wisconsin stinks but Rutgers is letting them hang around.Score 23-19.

 

[wngarbarini]

Have to shoot better

 

[ScarletteK80]

Nice pass from Tyia, and than an open drive to the hoop , and a bucket by Maori.

 

[RUsince52]

We pass up some good looks by taking the extra dribble and than trying to execute a pass which is all jammed up with bodies. But the next possession we look like we know exactly how to attack their defense. Plus they get inside our defense too easily and we try to block everything.

 

[bac2therac]

Cvs blowing it by trying to win by resting starters. Its tourney time and Lady Badgers are hungry..sigh

Where is the defense

 

[RUJMM78]

Half time score tied 28-28.You can't have Rutgers go five straight possessions without Guirantes taking a shot.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Tied 28 at half. This will NOT do. Arella with 9. KK with 0.

 

[wngarbarini]

We always do the same crap for the last shot, Nothing, Disgrace. We will get our ass beat against a horrible team. Tied at half. They are shooting 52% and we are in the 30’s. They better be a second half team or we are 1 and done. If we survive Indiana beats us by double digits

 

[RUmaz]

We are terrible at managing the last shot of a half or game. They should never had a chance to score.

 

[Abro1975]

Where's the 55 defense?

 

[Abro1975]

Bad, careless turnover by Mack w the inbound pass. Simple as that.

 

[RUmaz]

It happens way too often. We either turn it over or shoot too early.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Relax, Wisc. is not going to keep shooting at 55%. We need to run them down, they are slow footed.

Its tourney time..never want to keep a team in the game. We already know Rutgers is guilty. They need to come out right away and gut these Badgers

Agreed.

Where is the defense

Wisc has a short bench also. Second game in 21 hours. CVS resting starters for second half run.

Watch for very aggressive defense in second half with only Slim with two fouls.

 

[ScarletteK80]

We need to stop that little, quick pest they have immediately.

 

[wngarbarini]

She will rest her starters right out of the tourney

 

[wngarbarini]

Down 4 and Wallace misses a layup and foul shot twice. We are horrible

 

[wngarbarini]

Down 5

 

[wngarbarini]

Singleton not only misses a layup but the whole basket which is hard to do

 

[wngarbarini]

Guarantee passes up a freaking layup to give it to Singleton who misses the layup. Unreal

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

last game "somebody" said: "Wisconsin is a bottom feeder...to be struggling again vs them, remember they barely beat them the first time is disappointing but not surprising"

and then we went on to route em. So I figured I'd play that card again since it worked LOL! :WideSmile:

(PS. not argueing with the comment at the time just trying to get some magic here)

 

[Abro1975]

Why is Wallace on the bench w 1 foul? Singleton is 0-5 on layups

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Guarantee passes up a freaking layup to give it to Singleton who misses the layup. Unreal

I've noticed her passing up shots last couple of games then turning it on 2H. Fingers crossed. Maybe she figers she needs to also lead the B1G in assists to get POY next year . :Annoyed

 

[RUJMM78]

Guirantes has taken 3 shots in the third quarter and made them all.Give her the ball on every possession.

 

[Abro1975]

Arella needs to shoot !more she hass 16 pts on 6-9

 

[ScarletteK80]

38-37 wisc. media TO. Just give the ball to Arella. T-Mack, wake up.

 

[wngarbarini]

Arella misses a layup

 

[wngarbarini]

Hey CVS put in Migliore
