This game was lost early in the second half on those missed bunnies by a player I won’t call out. Two missed bunnies at the rim. We should have sustained our 11 point lead. We didn’t, and MSU stepped on us. Unacceptable

Yup, had our chances. And missed most of our free throws once again.....while im not sure MSU has missed one yet

Wow. Is this really him? Sounds like the parents at my nephew's JV game the other day. I expect more from him. Bad form.

Watching Winston destroy us second half with Mathis on the bench. Mathis primary job should be shutting him down. Don't .get .it .

18-20 FTs? You can see what a difference hitting them makes. A few more of those and some of the bunnies we missed and we are in it at the end.

Ron Harper Sr and his girlfriend? Has sat by me a few times and that response is not how he has behaved at games.

There must be 10 picks without hedges every game because he's just awful playing the pick and roll.

He's terrible guarding the ball up top and always trailing and flailing. All hands and no,position body. His name is Geo and not Deo. Have never ever seen him step thru a screen.

He d strength is purely disruption.

What I find interesting, is that in the NCAA tourney, teams like MSU won't get all of those calls they're used to getting by the B1G officials. Also when MSU lost to Illinois at home and with Ward I think they shot under 50% from the FT line.

Who is Pikiell going to put in that has a pulse on offense.?Baker had 13 points in the first half and nothing in the second half.There is a absence of go to scorers as readily seen in this game.On defense Rutgers can't defend without fouling.This game is a microcosm of why Rutgers has such a hard time playing 40 minutes against the top tier B1G teams.

Lineups matter.

Baker had 13 points, MSU adjusted at half.

Still, McC works best when him and Baker are sharing the ball.

Having Kiss in there for so long was preposterous. What does e give that Issa doesn't?

He is an athletic kid but barely goes up for rebounds for whatever reason.

Rutgers has some offensive players, but they were not all in the game for the key breakaway by MSU.

A second half to forget but a lesson learned for fans on how far this program still needs to go on offense to defeat high tier B1G opponents on the road.Baker is the only player that had a pulse on offense but he didn't score when Michigan State made their second half run.Missed layups really hurt when Michigan State went on a run and there still is no consistent 3 point shooters on this team.

Paid pretty close attention to Kiss's D tonight. It was actually pretty good. I'm sure that's why Pike gave him so many minutes. He gave us 10 points off the bench and is the only one who looked even half way decent covering Winston.

It always gets back to the same thing. We could have played better D for sure, but we need to score. We need an influx of shooters. Not one. A number of them.

The only team that has 5 guys stand around and shoot 3s all game are the golden state warriors. Easier said than done.

Can’t ignore foul differential as well as no calls.

Refs really doing us a disservice. Time for RU to say Wtf!
Key to game. How many times did All world Winston push off?
Does Gio ever get a call?
League is a joke.

Winston is just killing Geo. That's why Kiss has played a lot tonight

If you were watching the game you'd see that Kiss has played pretty good defense. He's the only one who has come close to slowing down Winston - and I'm sure you're not near as good as the last guy on either bench.

Kiss is working extremely hard on defense.
