Rutgers vs Ohio State / Game Thread

[bac2therac]

31-30....11-1 OSU run....not a good trend

 

[RU848789]

After such a great half, we're only up 1. Damn.

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

hey what do you know issa gets beat on a stepback

Sorry but have to sit Thiam another scoreless half

 

[Rufaninga]

Damn. Could have sworn I read eight o’clock start.

Yes that was Atlantic time zone though...

 

[BillyC80]

Very frustrated by Thiam’s perimeter D.

 

[MadRU]

Issa has no legs, gets rocked backwards with every jab step, 6’10” does no good when you are falling backwards

 

[zebnatto]

No more talk of Issa’s great man to man defense. He is consistently backing off and getting shot over.

 

[FAT MOON]

Sorry but have to sit Thiam another scoreless half

agreed...just not bringing much to the table

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

Hopefully kiss gets all issa's minutes in the second half and we can truly see who deserves those minutes.

 

[MV9000]

Told my gf watch this they’ll go down drill a 3 before half. Almost.... Issa needs to get off the court. Idk wtf happened to him D used to be good

 

[DHajekRC84]

After such a great half, we're only up 1. Damn.

Yup. One dimensional offense. Teams figure it out. We never involve the big guys and it hurts. No inside out game. Killer.

 

[itsRtime]

Is Kiss on punishment? Hasn't played at all

 

[ScarletDave]

Issa makes 0 points in the half and he goes from on their guards to halfway down the paint if they take 1 step .. gave up that first OSU 3 that spurred their comeback. He can’t get through a screen.Get him the heck out of there!!! Might as well have 4 people!

 

[BillyC80]

You know, we can definitely play with these guys, but I would feel a lot better if Gene was playing.

That said, if we can pull this one out without Gene it would speak volumes about our team and the possibilities going forward.

 

[bac2therac]

Can't win if you can't score. Ru rode great defense and solid shooting for 15 minutes but proceeded to miss bunnies

Go watch the last shot at Miami. Lucky . Same move, that's how you shoot over 6 10. You're not 6 10 if you play little.

 

[RUTrack94]

Progress starts with halftime leads ....

 

[MV9000]

Quite a few missed layups. Think Mathis was fouled by Wesson obviously on an earlier possession that resulted in points.

Good game so far. Gottawork inside more to get outside open. Doorsons hook was pretty. Let’s grt Johnson involved and some fouls drawn

 

[BillyC80]

Yeah, for a few possessions Carter looked out of synch underneath. Hopefully that was an aberration.

 

[MadRU]

Didn’t handle the double team well at all.

 

[JQRU91]

Omoruyi is out and not sure we can expect another 13 from Baker in the second half. Where's the offense going to come from?

 

[RUONTHERISE]

How come nobody is complaining about the refs favoring us? Ohio state has more fouls!!!

 

[BillyC80]

Harper and Mathis will have to score for us. And hopefully Carter. Let’s see if Kiss can get his shot going in the second half. Caleb’s shot looks off today. Baker has to keep bringing it.

 

[kcg88]

Felt like everything besides the Eugene injury went right and still only up a point. Need to hit some big shots.

 

[BillyC80]

It’s true the refs are giving us more calls today. Even so, them switching that foul away from Wesson seemed odd.

 

[ScarletDave]

All of the fouls against Ohio State were legit. The refs are clearly missing a lot of calls on their D though, and totally bought them out by changing the foul from their big man getting his 3rd

 

[RU848789]

Worried we lose by 15...can't help it...

 

[BillyC80]

Woo!

 

[bac2therac]

Ohio state is very good

 

[MadRU]

Geo bad turnover, had Myles at the foul line for the easy pass to reset.

 

[RU848789]

So, they show Frazier and don't mention he's an RU grad?

 

[bethlehemfan]

Missing the bunnies will kill you.

 

[MadRU]

Danger time, miss an easy one, they get an and one.

 

[RUTrack94]

Tied up until 16 min left ... hanging around!

 

[FAT MOON]

Convinced they aren't going to call another foul on Wesson no matter what he does.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

This feels like so many of our other games.

 

[BillyC80]

Just when I thought we weathered the dreaded first 4 minutes of the second half and we’re about to increase our lead, we miss a bunny and give up an And 1.

 

[BillyC80]

Mathis!

 

[BillyC80]

Good D!
