Rutgers vs Michigan State / Game Thread

[RU848789]

huge trey by Mathis

 

[bac2therac]

Mathis!

 

[richthedentist]

Same **** every year gonna lose another game because of foul shooting!!

 

[Caliknight]

Mathis or Young should be guarding Winston. Never Baker.

 

[soundcrib]

Timeout. Someone remind Steve that Yeboah is on our roster AND GET HIM BACK IN!

 

[richthedentist]

good response but it means nothing if we cannot get the lead...have to stop letting MSU go on these mini spurts. This is the time we need to really value possession...mistakes matter, everything counts going forward.

And so does foul shooting which we can’t do

 

[G- RUnit]

Izzo really deserves a T

 

[BillyC80]

Tez with the answer to Tillman’s 3!

Agreed. Yeboah brings so much to the table

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

Just a shame we can’t make foul shots. Shooting 57% from foul line will not win you a game on the road against the #11 team in the country. I just don’t get it

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers hanging tough.50-48 Michigan State.

 

[BillyC80]

RU down 2 with 7:37 left. Gotta hang around.

 

[kcg88]

It's always so predictable when a team is going to hit a backbreaking 3 on us. Usually it's wide open.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Theres not a midget in america who complains more than tom izzo

It’s why MSU gets calls at the end. Pike needs to do this more.

 

[soundcrib]

OMG, leaves Ron on the floor. Yeboah with a towel.

 

[toby83]

Put Yeboa back in I want him on the floor until he drops

 

[kcg88]

No Yeboah right now is coaching malpractice.

 

[ScarletDave]

Time to play to win. Have played to hang around which we did great. Now it’s time to play to win. Harper has been quiet, would like for him to find a way down the stretch

 

[tfio]

Watching other teams drill free throws with ease is fun

 

[Night Man]

What a soft call on Johnson

 

[RUsince52]

Clearly, getting in the paint is the way to go.

Except we rarely finish if there are bodies around the basket. Mich St just take the 8-10 footers if they can't get to the rim. The difference being that they consistently hit them. We end up with off balance shots or even air balls that have no chance.

 

[BillyC80]

Geo needs to start taking it to the hole, and either score or get fouled. Otherwise pull up for the 2-point jumper.

 

[bac2therac]

we really need the right lineup in the last 5 minutes

 

[G- RUnit]

Bad bad foul on Johnson

 

[soundcrib]

3 empty possessions after the timeout.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

And this is where it falls apart.

 

[Night Man]

Geo needs to start taking it to the hole, and either score or get fouled. Otherwise pull up for the 2-point jumper.

Yeah his game is the stepback (as he misses one as I type)

 

[kcg88]

Zero passes on that possession.

 

[soundcrib]

No Yeboah right now is coaching malpractice.

"Coaching malpractice" +10000000000000

 

[Scangg]

Going to be tough without Myles

 

[bac2therac]

huge there....Young to Mathis and one please make one

 

[G- RUnit]

Big time steal Young!!!

 

[ScarletDave]

Tough stretch. We tried

 

[kcg88]

2 point deficit to 8 in the blink of an eye. Same thing as Pitt.

 

[BillyC80]

Hope we have one more run in us. That steal and the And 1 by Mathis is just what we needed.

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

why not just leave johnson in until he fouls out.... take some risk otherwise this game is over by the time he gets back in

 

[richthedentist]

Yeah his game is the stepback (as he misses one as I type)

Geo is just not stepping up we cannot win if he continues to play this bad

 

[RU848789]

Big steal and break and 3-pt play to go from down 8 to down 5. Nice.

 

[Scangg]

Nice play from young and Mathis there huge

 

[soundcrib]

Ron needs to stop watching NBA House of Highlights
