Rutgers vs. Iowa Game 2 Thread

[FrankZ_RU93]

Geo looking for Thiam. Knew he was going there the whole possession

 

[RUHouston]

Isssssa!!!’

 

[ColonelRutgers]

And we leave Bohannon wide freakin' open. Come on.

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

Dude issa is just pulling, this is what he has had to do the whole time.

Very happy for him

 

[PatrickRU92]

Chom chom chom

 

[RUsince52]

Stupid, stupid inbound after the basket. What's he thinking.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

omg Carter.. THINK

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers 39 Iowa 30...i will take it

Remember Gene and Geo basically giving nothing. Get them on track and i like our chances to hold the lead

Damn Issa

 

[Mikemarc]

Always seem to allow a last second dagger.

 

[BOCA93]

Thiam finally found his shot!

 

[PatrickRU92]

No surprise . Make 3s

 

[bethlehemfan]

Issa? Hello? What?

That’s why you don’t give up on people my friend

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

11-6 fouls differential, and ate about 12 elbows. Not one called.

 

[Scangg]

Dude issa is just pulling, this is what he has had to do the whole time.

Very happy for him

Must be an amazing feeling for him

 

[MadRU]

Put Issa and Harper on opposite sides and let Geo penetrate and kick.

 

[RUHouston]

Ok, weather the opening few minutes, don’t let up, and BURY THEM!!!

 

[ScarletDave]

Can’t complain, Iowa is gonna hit 3s whether it’s with 10 mins or 10secs to go. The key is so are we, only way for us to stay in it. And hey, not just staying in it, but up, by a lot all things considered. Keep it up. 3s are raining but it’s the D that’s giving us the separation in the score. That was a fun half

 

[bethlehemfan]

Pike needs to talk to the refs. We are getting fing hosed

 

[RuBird]

Team effort. Harper on Fire. Kiss and Issa contributing. Pretty sure Geo will score more than a point next half. Buckle up boys. Going to be quite a ride

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Is that the best half of basketball we have put together this season?

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Must be an amazing feeling for him

He wants it. Geo wants to get it to him. I’m stunned

 

[rufeelinit]

Three 3s from almost the exact same spot.

 

[BOCA93]

Bohannon probably isn’t even on the court to take that last shot if any of the countless elbows or push offs get called. Once again the refs are horrendous

 

[JerseyShoreKnight]

So can one of Issa and Harper be a stretch 4 in the second half? They’re both shooting the rock great today.

 

[Scangg]

Put Issa and Harper on opposite sides and let Geo penetrate and kick.

Yuppp and with such a deep team when you have a couple players who are hot that night play them more minutes and ride the hot hands

 

[RUsince52]

We survived some spotty trips in the last 5 minutes and hit the shots. Let's keep them from climbing back in the 2nd half including the refs too.

 

[RU848789]

Holy crap, Thiam with 3 straight treys. Harper on fire. Those are really important, because Geo and EO aren't playing that well. Up 9 at the half - let's see if we can do better than we did at MSU last week. I think we can.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Wrong

Rewind that jit and lemme know

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

We are shooting the 3 well but I hope we don’t get 3-happy in the 2nd half

 

[ru66]

i'm still praying--it's gonna be difficult

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Absolutely cannot let Iowa go on a run to begin 2nd half.

 

[KnightTerrors]

When Issa shoots a contested three an angel gets it wings! Keep firing!

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Dude issa is just pulling, this is what he has had to do the whole time.

Very happy for him

Confidence is so important for Issa. When he does not play well, it is mainly due to a lack of confidence.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Rewind that jit and lemme know

I mean good grief he leaned to the right. One of a litany of BS calls like usual.

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

Anyone know what the line was for this game?

 

[bac2therac]

our defense is outstanding

however Harper and Thiam have 25 of our 38. Everyone...Geo, Gene, Montez, Shaq really need to step it up.

two key stats to watch....RU outboarding Iowa 19-17..going to be huge...if we can maintain that edge we really limit their offense and that kick out for 3...also turnovers...its 7-6 Iowa with more, seemed like more. Need to limit ours and cause more. I really like our D...just 30 points to Iowa, the nations 10th best offense.

 

[koleszar]

Is that the best half of basketball we have put together this season?

Hopefully we don't follow it up with the worst half. I remember the same being said for the MSU game. I hope Iowa isn't MSU though.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Bohannon probably isn’t even on the court to take that last shot if any of the countless elbows or push offs get called. Once again the refs are horrendous

it's a freakin' joke...and Doorson had one arm held on a rebound attempt late--blatant hook&hold

 

[bac2therac]

Rewind that jit and lemme know

clearly a foul on Caleb , easily, even the announcer declared, listen you can argue some others but not that one

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

I love @bac2therac but he refuses to ever fault the refs. Listen im not a ref blaster but this game has been called completely one sided
