Wisky-RU game thread

[fluoxetine]

I think you guys are being too hard on them re: free throws honestly.

It's really frustrating to watch but the reason they can't shoot free throws is the same reason they can't shoot from the floor. They're just not good shooters, that problem is not going away.

 

[jlariv9]

Need athletic big men...these guys are clutzes

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I lol'd

Was there any doubt after giving away such a big lead in the last couple of minutes?

Momentum, heart, and foul shooting are huge in OT. RU has none.

You're a complete idiot if you think this team doesn't have "heart." Lack of talent? Absolutely. Momentum on Wiscy's side? Sure.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

I'm pissed!

You can't be serious can you? I'll give you momentum and FTs, but heart? This team is nothing but heart.

 

[RocktheRac]

Will not recover from this loss

 

[bac2therac]

Ultimately the better team made the plays to win...its so hard to win in this league

 

[Barnaby&Neill]

I've never seen "they don't know how to win" illustrated so perfectly.

 

[RocktheRac]

Didn't work hard enough

 

[TonyLieske]

Maybe if you insult enough people that can see the obvious a miracle will happen and Rutgers will win.

Its worth a shot!

 

[fluoxetine]

Also it's not looking good obviously but the game's not over yet.

Especially when you give away home games like free popcorn.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Wish this one was at the RAC.

 

[B0ski]

Nigel makes both fouls shots it never goes to OT.

 

[RU848789]

Game over.

 

[RUONTHERISE]

Bummer

 

[newell138]

That's a shame

 

[TonyLieske]

Don't worry guys! We'll get em next year !

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Say it one more time.

 

[nirrad]

Free throws lost this game! They should've won this game!

 

[FrankZ]

Oh well. One day closer to baseball season.

 

[Plum Street]

Once Wisconsin got it to overtime this game was over

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Tough one. Damn. But some of you guys are serious morons.

 

[RUEd]

Gettys hurt us bad today. Not just the last play. Got eaten alive in the 2nd half plus lots of,turnovers.

 

[RUJMM78]

In retrospect this game was lost when Rutgers went over 9 minutes without making a basket at the start of the second half.

 

[APKnight]

Haven't been this pissed off in a long time. Should have won going away.

 

[RocktheRac]

No one will remember how hard they played. Just open the paper and read RU loses to Wisconsin by 7

 

[RU848789]

Sa missing 2 and Freeman hitting 1 of 2 after that were more important. Nigel played a great game today with 13/7/3 and something like 7-9 from the line.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Ethan fvcking Happ.

 

[RocktheRac]

Garden Party for the cheeseheads

 

[jlariv9]

Sucks being a Rutgers fan

 

[jersey07080]

Gettys was not the problem today. He scored some buckets and no one was stopping Happ today .

 

[RocktheRac]

Had this game with 20 seconds left but didnt want it bad enough

 

[B0ski]

I learned today that Rutgers has some real jerk offs for fans.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Growing pains. If not anything else, this team fights. More often than not, they're a tough out. Coaching and heart helping to at least somewhat make up for a lack of talent. They just don't know how to win yet.

 

[RU82]

Frustrating loss. We had it.

 

[jtung230]

Poorly coached at the end. Have to run the clock on those possessions. We gave them quick2 TOs.

 

[koleszar]

Say it one more time.

Did you hear the crowd this was definitely not a home away from home atmosphere. Sorry this sounded more like a Wisconsin home game. For a team struggling to win a home atmosphere might have helped. That's an injustice to the kids.

 

[jersey07080]

Pretty insightful generic comment there. I am sure our underdog team who rose to the challenge for 39.5 minutes didn't want it bad enough.

that's not a guarantee. Plenty of foul shots missed by everyone. Even if we hit them still doesn't mean Wisky misses shots. If anything someone should have fouled Happ early on the last possession. He had been shooting free throws 50 percent or so and would have left us with closer to 5-7 seconds on clock than 2 if he hits both FTs
