RU vs Michigan St. 1/19/2016 game thread

[ScarletteK80]

RU vs MSU (#21/18) at 6PM on BTN. MSU is 13-4. Would be a huge road win in a conference game.

 

[MADHAT1]

Looking for RU to upset MSU, at least hoping for one.

 

[ScarletteK80]

19 -13 RU up end of 1st Q. Tyler playing like a woman on a mission.

 

[RUClassof67]

25-19

 

[RUClassof67]

28-25 end of the half. Need to come out strong to start the 2nd half and extend the lead.

 

[ScarletteK80]

28 - 25 zru end of half.

 

[motorb54]

What was that?....about six turnovers in a row to end the half?
9 points in the quarter?

 

[ScarletteK80]

They have some BIG bodies on MSU, but we have the athletes/speed. Love Vera Jones doing the color.

 

[RUJMM78]

28-25 Rutgers half time.The assistant coach responsible for coaching the offense needs to be replaced.There is no strategy for attacking a zone defense.Michigan State doesn't impress me at all .They should not be a top 25 team.

 

[RUJMM78]

34-34 third quarter.Sloppy game.

 

[rutgerssax]

Not watching the game because its on btn but following on game tracker. Whats going on with all the fouls?

 

[RUClassof67]

Once again the officiating is very uneven. Contact on both ends results in fouls against us. It's allowing MSU TO PULL AWAY.

 

[RUClassof67]

6-0 run ties it at 40

 

[MADHAT1]

Hard to beat a ranked team on the road , but it can be done.
Rutgers needs to play a good game to do that against the MSU Ladies.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Copper in the flow now.

You are giving far too much credit to MSU.Rutgers woeful offense is the only reason the game is close.

 

[RUClassof67]

Yeah. Ain't that always the way. When we play tough, the other team stinks.

40-40 end of 3rd

 

[RUCONN]

5 straight possessions with no ball movement, no movement without the ball, no screens and one player standing around with the ball

 

[MADHAT1]

I'll go by the rankings, no matter how flawed they might seem.
Lately complements towards the WBB program seem as hard to get as a top 5 spot in those rankings.
I know RU WBB isn't what it once was, but insn't what some of its fans make it out to be.
Most likely we're all disappointed that Rutgers moved from one of the leaders of the pack o the middle of pack trying to keep up with those leaders

 

[MADHAT1]

Looks like MSU is starting to move ahead, not happy abut that

 

[RUClassof67]

Tyler has her arm yanked off by an MSU player with no call while Powers gets touched and gets a call

 

[RUClassof67]

Another bad ending. And here they come......:angry:

Have fun.

 

[RUCONN]

as per usual, they made plays down the stretch, we didn't. some questionable officiating but this is getting old. it's better than the men's team, but that doesn't mean it is good.

 

[RUJMM78]

56-48 MSU less than a minute to go.

 

[MADHAT1]

Sounds like home cooking , but at the end of game it's the score that counts not the way game was officiated,
Don't want to sound like a killjoy , but feel after a loss or win officiating isn't what goes in the W or L column and when you mention it you will have those looking for a reason to bash the loss, claim its immaterial. 8 points behind now

 

[RUTrack94]

Looks like another good start only to fade in the 4th ... At least they don't get blown out (this year).

 

[MADHAT1]

56-48 MSU less than a minute to go.

Just letting you know when I rant about those who mainly come after a loss, you're not in my mind when I put that accusation out.
You complain and enjoy depending on the type of game, but you come win or lose and I respect you for that and you do make good points when you give criticism

 

[Local Shill]

Mediocre team, let's be honest.

 

[MADHAT1]

11 point loss.
Not good at all
23 fouls and 17 turnovers didn't help
2-13 from the 3 and out rebounded by 14 wasn't very good stats as well.

 

[MADHAT1]

Mediocre team, let's be honest.

And here they come [roll]

 

[MADHAT1]

See you all tomorrow, will let the NJO.com posters control this board for the rest of the night .
Yes know the comies will still be posting tomorrow, its a loss you know they won't be quite
:uzi:[sick]

 

[RUJMM78]

I am deeply disappointed in how this team is performing on the road.Scoring 48 points in 40 minutes won't win many games.The fourth quarter is where many of these games have been lost .The opponent gets back to back baskets and Rutgers can't match the scoring.Copper only scoring 9 points was a major factor in the loss.Scaife scored over 20 points but seemed tired in the last quarter because of all the minutes she played.None of the other players were decisive offensive contributors.

 

[bac2therac]

these games are all the same. RU fades at the end...where is the upperclass leadership to pull the team together, its virtually non existant...is this 7 straight road losses in the Big 10. RU has 3 Big 10 victories...two over the sisters of the poor although there are actually people who argue Illinois and Wisky are good but I digress. They have won solid win against Minny a team much like RU in the middle of the pack on the bubble

Bottom line is RU has underachieved and is just a slight above average team that will be sweating it out on Selectionn Sunday and unless they can come up with some big quality wins they will be headed to another WNIT. Look I pointed this stuff out after the SHU and SJU losses but got blasted to wait until the season plays out. Well its quite apparent that this team still by and large cannot be NCAA quality competition and time is running out. Ohio State is now a must win. Purdue and Indiana are improved. Can RU win any game on the road. Northwestern crushed them twice last year.

 

[daytonhouse]

Mediocre team, let's be honest.

No...4 McDonald's All-Americans....Check out how many McD AA's Mich St has in the history of it's program. This is CVS!

:uzi:[sick]

oh boo hoo your schtick is old..if it was just about tea and cookies then we wouldn't be paying CVS 700K plus for a program that only gets about 1K to the RAC (I mean in real numbers not made up). There is something seriously wrong with this team so its pretty insulting that anyone who says something critical about this team gets your tired board police routine

 

[shields]

Canty had some poor turnovers in last quarter.

Stop whining, you know I speak the truth

 

[RUJMM78]

Canty isn't a point guard but she is playing that position.

 

[MADHAT1]

A guilty conscience needs no accuser and is the first to claim injustices is being done

I had my say, enjoy throwing tantrums after a loss and claim you don't come on this board just to do that after a loss and seldom join in to enjoy a win.

Right on Bac. The 1,000+ is down fro a very mediocre 2,500+ in years past (given the salary CVS was and is given) And UCONN always inflated the season average. She used to be a defensive icon and a recruiting monster. But as a game time coach she has and is below average. The amazing amount of McDonald's All American's she has had on her squad has allowed her below average game time coaching skills (and btw bad offensive strategies) to result in her very good record...... just say this...if our friend Geno was coachng the same RU teams, the win-lose and championships would have been a lot different.
