Basketball LIVE GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Illinois

[RUJMM78]

If either team had a pulse on offense, they would be leading by 15 points.Games like this indicate the importance of Baker on offense as a go to scorer.McConnel scored 25 points last year against Illinois last year and in this game 0 points.Illinois is getting the benefit of ref calls.

WTF Mathis?

Mathis didnt touch him, watch replay. Horrendous. Pike needs to say something

 

[The RUT]

This is a game we’ve just got to grind out.

 

[Scangg]

Brutal foul come on ref

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

That was one of the biggest BS calls you’ll ever see. And I’ve seen plenty.

 

[RU516]

key state....Illinois 6 offensive rebounds...RU just 1

Illinois is only shooting 22%

Caleb needs to get on the board

We are not crashing the glass Pike has us getting back on defense on the shot. I like this alot we are not going to be able to keep up in a game like last year 99-94

 

[koleszar]

Harper has got to stop with the 3's

BLIND PHANTOMS REF

 

[bac2therac]

damn these teams are setting Big 10 basketball back..brutal to watch

 

[biazza38]

Caleb looked tired on that possession. Gonna have to grind this one out

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

18-16, 5-5 fouls, last TV TO

 

[richthedentist]

The refs are costing us this game they took Myles out of the game early with 2BS foul calls

 

[bethlehemfan]

This is another BIG rock fight

 

[Scarlet Knut]

Harper needs to stop with the 3s and take his mid range shot. We are playing great D.

 

[mikebal9]

Nobody wants to complain about the missed walk on Mathis? Just saying...bad calls go both ways.

 

[G- RUnit]

So R the refs!!

 

[RUby RED]

damn these teams are setting Big 10 basketball back..brutal to watch

To be fair it is tremendous defense on both sides. No easy looks for anybody

 

[bac2therac]

The refs are costing us this game they took Myles out of the game early with 2BS foul calls

and Mathis should have got called for that travel...Myles fouls were fouls. Yes the foul on Mathis was a big mistake but other than that its pretty even

 

[Scangg]

We need to get something going on offense. Try Harper in the post. We need to force some drives to the basket over chucking these 3s

 

[jordkap]

Feliz now has 2, one of their top bench guys

 

[PatrickRU92]

Harper has got to stop with the 3's

no he doesn't when he 's open he should take them.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

So nice Jacob Young

 

[Shell21]

This game sets up for us to win it at the end . We r trying to grind it out rock fight . If we can just make a few jumpers I like our chances

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Jacob young is ridiculously good.... lol

 

[biazza38]

Need more of that from young

 

[Scarlet Knut]

Young to the hoop. Keep doing that

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Doucoure has to go up with that.

 

[CHR2022]

Jacob young should not take any 3s unless he is open by 60 feet

 

[G- RUnit]

Nobody wants to complain about the missed walk on Mathis? Just saying...bad calls go both ways.

Foul calls way more important

 

[Scangg]

Take it at Giorgi Young! Don't settle for that

 

[bac2therac]

Illinois shooting only 20%...wow...6 made fg

i like RUs play the last few minutes, lets close this half out strong

 

[The RUT]

Jacob young is ridiculously good.... lol

I’d like to see him improve his speed

 

[G- RUnit]

Jacob young should not take any 3s unless he is open by 60 feet

Harper?

 

[biazza38]

These refs

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Duke literally is the football player that shows up to the rec center. Clueless out there

 

[toby83]

Jacob young should not take any 3s

Fixed it

 

[biazza38]

What did they just call

 

[richthedentist]

These refs absolutely suck they have followed us so many times especially offense defensively and they are not calling anything they are not taking charges it is just ridiculous

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

When in doubt with refs, it’s never in doubt. They are ready to pounce.

 

[bac2therac]

haha Coburn pushed no call..these things even out guys
