Rutgers vs Northwestern / Game Thread

[Scangg]

Getting some make up calls here nice nice

 

[Degaz-RU]

Absolutely makes a difference. Would make Northwestern use their bench

And stop the clock

 

[ScarletDave]

Start driving it inside every play and make your free throws. Whoever shoots and makes more FTs will win

 

[koleszar]

Make a free throw. PLEASE

 

[dconifer0]

This game is right there, grab it Knights!

 

[BillyC80]

Mathis to the lane getting fouled. Makes both. 49-43 NU

 

[Scangg]

Give the ball to Mathis running up the court every time. He can't be stopped when he has a full head of steam. Don't wait for the D to get set

 

[CHR2022]

Thats how you get back into a game!!

 

[BillyC80]

Mathis steal and jam! RU down 4! Baker steal and score, RU down 2!

 

[koleszar]

Yes 49-47 Holy crap.

 

[kcg88]

We need to be running against this team. Didn't work against Purdue but we have better athletes than NW.

 

[BillyC80]

6:35 left. Two point game.

 

[BillyC80]

Mathis with the tie! And one!

 

[RU_fan435]

Mathis is going to be a stud at ru

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Don’t let them hit a 3 out of the TO.

 

[koleszar]

So close to taking the lead and we just can't score. I'm going to cry now.

 

[Andrew Donnelly]

Montez is already our best player

 

[RC85]

So close to taking the lead and we just can't score. I'm going to cry now.

my thoughts exactly

 

[bac2therac]

The legend of Montez begins

We need to make all our foul shots

Working hard but can't get over the hump

 

[BillyC80]

Damn RU couldn’t take the lead on three tries. Now NU up 2, 51-49 with 3:57 left, Shaq D going to the line for two shots. Timeout on the floor.

 

[soundcrib]

For 25 years we can’t get over the hump. Ugh

 

[ScarletKid2008]

Mathis is really good . Just growing game by game ! He’s gonna be special here

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Doorson to the line. Good luck.

 

[kcg88]

Why not hit both here, Shaq?

 

[dconifer0]

So close to taking the lead and we just can't score. I'm going to cry now.

That long, empty possession hurt but I still Rutgers has this...

 

[gmay8]

Just incapable of hitting the big shot. Have had several looks to take a lead and miss them all.
So damn sad between football and basketball how awful the offenses are.

 

[BillyC80]

Foul-shooting will determine the outcome.

 

[ScarletDave]

Missed 3 front end 1&1s, the and 1, now we have 2 more tries. Have the chance to do it at the free throw line, why oh why can’t we make them

 

[DHajekRC84]

Getting some make up calls here nice nice

Did you all see how the game changed after that non call on geo and pike going nuts? All of a sudden were getting calls and they are not calling every dann thing on the d side.
It is part of the game.
Now the team needs to make the tracking foul shots. Its there to win!

 

[koleszar]

Why is the crowd so quiet?

 

[DHajekRC84]

11 of 30. Omg...

 

[RUsince52]

Looked good for quite a few trips down the court and than we play stupidly. Uncontested TOs.

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

of course its issa's guy

 

[zebnatto]

Why does Issa get minutes?

 

[bac2therac]

Not making the plays right now

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

Why does Issa get minutes?

stellar defense

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Johnson does not have good hands

 

[bac2therac]

This team will kick themselves if they lose this game at home

 

[zebnatto]

stellar defense

Unreal

 

[bethlehemfan]

**** shot there
