Find somebody to start guarding Jok as soon as he gets off the airplane. Once he is in New Jersey he is in range to shoot.

I was too optimistic at 11-1 and way too pessimistic at 11-5.....need to remove emotion.

Iowa just lost a heart breaker and is not a good team as far as B1G caliber goes. They are VERY young. They aren't a good rebounding team.

If I still think we win 4 or 5 B1G games this could be one of them. I am ready to throw the towel (not a complete throw in the towel) in for this team and a win would suck me back.

Rutgers 70
Iowa 59

Issa Thaim and Jonathan Laurent do an outstanding job on Jok who needs 23 shots to score 18 points. Mike Williams scores 17. Freeman 12 pts 9 rebounds. sanders 8 pts 6 reb 6 assts 3 stls. Laurent scores 10.

Did rutgersal hack your Rivals account?

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

No.

Looking at 8-4 next year....
Tyler Oden gets his chance and throws for 2000 yards and rushes for 1000.
Young secondary grows up and RU gets back to McCourty Ryan, Harmon, Greene, Giralt etc. days
Old OC holding us back...Ash and co. will have us scoring 30+ and D is good enough to hold teams under 20
Martin and Hicks (Thunder and Lightning) each rush for 1000 too
Savon Huggins will sign with the NYG Giants in 2017 and rush for 1,000 yards

Game is in Iowa City. We;ll just have to start guarding him when we get off the plane.

Definitely a hack! Maybe the Russians?

Thiam couldn't guard Izzo on Wednesday, so I don't expect him to be able to do much against Jok.

Going to have to be a team effort to shut him down...

Huh?

Izzo?

I thought Jok isn't as much as a threat penetrating as he is from the outside. I thought Thiam length could be effective.

 

[OntheBanks]

I watched a good part of their game last night and they were drained at the end. They may not get their legs back by
Sunday. We need to have our shots fall for a change and defend the 3pt line better.

That was back to back OT games for Iowa. They like to push the base so both teams were gassed after the first OT. It looked like a game in a rest home the last 2 minutes of 2nd OT. They might be a little leg weary but would be a lot better if they had to travel.

 

[Rutgers25]

Unfortunately the team is losing confidence and this game won't help

Yeah...he was so bad on D Izzo would have been a tough guard.

The kid is learning how to play big time basketball...I expect bumps in the road. But his D is costing him minutes, and that's never a good thing

Jonathan would be 2nd guess...length is crucial. could be eugene.

just dont see nigel or mike on him

 

[Local Shill]

A conference road win is still complete wishful thinking. If we keep it under 10 it will be one of those moral victory things.

77-62 bad guys.

We win a tight one

Wow! This thread really has to have some stolen identities or we are in "bizzaro world" like on Seinfeld.

FIG still writing some positive thoughts on our year and future and BK saying something negative about one of our players. That never happens.

Either Thiam said something negative about or to BK or his wife on one of the road trips or maybe the fact that BK's winning percentage on all of the road trips over the years(probably at about 12%) has really gotten to him....

Now I have seen it all........

Best of Luck,

I think 12% might be a bit generous.

Iowa shoots quickly and runs a lot.....I don't see how we keep them under 70 points at home....will take a huge shooting game to win here (thinking Mike Nigel and Corey combining for 12 to 14 3's.....Iowa doesn't play good defense so players like Candido and Freeman should have solid games.....still need to solve the Small Forward dilemma.....someone (I really want this to be Eugene, because of his passing skills), should find double figures against Iowa.

Will be watching Green Bay vs Giants and this at the same time....Iowa 79 RU 72

Issa is a great young man...Mild mannered and well spoken. He's got far more to offer than he's shown thus far.

It's not his fault he's not physically ready for the B1G...That's the real problem for him right now. It's a shame because he has weapon like potential offensively when he gets to where he needs to be.

Better things ahead for Thiam for sure.

As for my road game winning percentage, joining this league hasn't helped..As we've not won a B1G road game yet! That's going to change though...Soon.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

He got the starting job out of training camp. He must have shown the ability to defend over that long period of time.

Hard for me to see this being our first Big Ten win on the road. Iowa can score a bit and because they push pace I think it will force us to follow suit and I really haven't liked our guard play when that is the case. Can see a lot of turnovers here being the undoing, but I think we score a bit more and it stays relatively close. Also go Giants, still can't believe this game time.
