Basketball Iowa beats Rutgers, 85-80

[Richie O]

Rutgers Hoops suffers tough loss five point loss to No. 19 Iowa

 

[BigEastPhil]

We need to close a big game on the road. Damn.

 

[read option]

+1

I’ll get greedy... beat Nebraska and Purdue the game after

 

[greenknight]

Great game RH Jr

 

[wheezer]

Young has been blowing layups almost every game..... yes he is quick,
Good on defense..... but oh those missed layups

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Young missed that layup....F IN REFS

 

[RUforJERSEY]

This one shouldn't hurt much in the polls. Do they get Iowa at the RAC? Took em to the wire with nothing from Geo or Young.

Garza's a hot dog. Jerkoff kid.

 

[ancienthooper]

They’re a migraine offensively.

 

[read option]

No reason for our kids to be down about this loss. Turn the page immediately and get the #RACtion going the next two games for wins.

 

[BillyC80]

That last ball looked like it went off Garza’s forehead. Not that it would’ve mattered. Crazy game, we had a chance. A good chance to pull it out. So close.

 

[QD43]

Garza has actually been very gracious in his postgame comments, a stark contrast to his on-court shenanigans.

I’m sorry if the refs didn’t take over to go from RU up 8 to Iowa up 8, we run away with this one I’m talking third 20 point win of the season. We are so much better than Iowa it’s not even funny. 7 minutes with no basket it was all free throws

I despise the fact they don’t come to the RAC this year. While we got hammered on the offensive end in silence, they sprinted to the bonus as usual. There were some bad shots and passing decisions but putting this team on the line with shots so early wasn’t on us.

 

[Colbert17!]

Good game between two Top 25 teams on the road.
Let's get use to it.There are going to be a lot of games like this the rest of the year and we'll get our share of wins in them.

 

[Colbert17!]

Perspective here. At home Iowa has beaten Minny by 20, Maryland by 18 and Michigan by 7.
Good effort by our kids. Would have been nice to steal it though.

 

[jerzeyguy]

Hopefully we see them in the B10 tournament. We need that pay back

 

[Hamilton's Cannon]

We killed ourselves at the start of the half. 1 of 2 on the technical, Yeboah misses a lay up right underneath the basket, then 1 of 2 again by JY I think. Thats 5 points in the very beginning of the half squandered.

 

[RU82]

Take it out on Nebraska

Don’t get them again. Wish we did at home.

 

[fbc1866]

The lay missed by Young is a heart breaker and tough to copy with. The ball roll on the rim. Just a bad break. But, they are a fun team to watch.

 

[RU_EB]

Glad it’s over. Got tired of this guy being cocky

 

[oliverm_rivals]

We needed to follow our shots, give more effort on loose balls and box out on foul shots and we win this game with a hot opposing player and some questionable calls going against us.

 

[ScarletDave]

The saving grace is that if we face Iowa in the B1G tourney we will wipe the floor with them

 

[198hamilton]

Did we get one offensive rebound?

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

win the next one!

 

[RUChoppin]

If we beat Nebraska convincingly, I don't think we'll fall out of the Top 25. For most voters around the country, this may have been the first time they saw Rutgers play (only ranked on ranked game tonight)... and we lost by 5 on #19 Iowa's court.

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

we covered!!!!!!!

 

[RutgHoops]

Don’t get them again. Wish we did at home.

I'm glad we don't see them again. They are good. No one clobbers us on the glass and Iowa was +8. They are going to win a bunch of games in this league. Garza gets 20+ and 10+ a game. Best player I have seen this year, I think.

I think we missed 8 more shots than they did, so those extra defensive rebounds they got are understandable. I think we pretty much matched them in offensive rebounds.
