Best individual performance in a clutch situation

[PatrickRU92]

I've ever seen at RU.

 

[Rufaninga]

Baker got aggressive tonight - Hope that switch stays flipped for rest of the way

 

[RuBird]

I've ever seen at RU.

100% Agree

 

[Night Man]

Hard to argue... maybe Douby at the Garden but the utter desperation of it all tonight... wow

 

[Scarlet Bri]

Corey at the B1G tourney was pretty awesome too. But no doubt, so clutch

 

[ron313]

This was up there, if not the best.

Careful, there's an OCD mod on patrol who will merge this thread into whatever existing one it belongs to in his mind.

 

[Scangg]

Geo would not let this team lose tonight. Epic performance

Careful, you might get your arse kicked by his chief defender or an 8 year old kid. I got your back. imp:

 

[Degaz-RU]

An epic performance for the ages.

A loss in this game would have put our NCAA tournament hopes on life support. And Geo almost single handedly won the game for us.

He was just unstoppable.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

The dream continues. Thank you Geo.

From utter despair to that. Stunned.

 

[RUforester72]

He’s baaaacckk!

 

[Rufaninga]

Can he now take this on the road?
Gonna need him to take over in any arena for us to get dancing

 

[RUKen]

Obviously the cupping on his arm worked. Well done. I’m getting it done myself. Geo is back!!!

 

[JavaDunk18]

Baker taking game over, reminiscent of Sellers! ‘76 ECAC Final vs St Johns comes to mind...
“Gimme the ball, cause we are not losing this game!”

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I've ever seen at RU.

my memory is pretty bad....can we find a Douby one that is close.

If we make it to the NCAAs as anywhere between a 7 and 11 seed we will point back to this individual performance. I suppose that trumps anything we have seen here in X amount of years

 

[GilliganIsland]

Memory is also foggy, but didnt Damon Santiago have a pretty clutch run his senior year. I seem to remember a ridiculous shot against Pitt

 

[Westcoast]

They referenced that Pitt game as the last time we won a game we trailed by 18 or more. That one was a fluke. We were down 20 with 8 min left. Santiago hit a turn around 3 off an inbound with 1 second left.

 

[Westcoast]

Baker could be the difference maker we've needs so bad in the last 2 min at Iowa, Maryland and Illinois.

 

[MADHAT1]

Those worried about Geo the last couple of games, can stop worrying [banana]:cool2:[cheers]

 

[RutgHoops]

I've ever seen at RU.

Douby 41 in the Carrier Dome. But Geo’s last 10-12 minutes tonight was super impressive.

Exactly, not that I will admit to remembering it, and a few other memories etched in my brain for so many years.

 

[Caliknight]

That was all time. Too bad we lost that game. Geo was so clutch tonight. Let's hope it transitions to the upcoming games. The team got us to the position without him playing his best, but to really make noise, we need him at full capacity.

I said pretty much the same thing to my friend and wife at the game....Geo dribbling the ball, looking at the clock, isolated....very much like Sellers vs St Johns at the Garden.....was there for that one also, thankfully

 

[fbc1866]

He is showing signs of being healthy, he had a much needed performance. The OT was so much fun.

 

[RutgHoops]

That was all time. Too bad we lost that game. .

Terrance “f—king” Roberts hitting that bank three pointer at the buzzer is imprinted in my memory

 

[ScarletJack]

Damon so-so as a junior had a fantastic Senior year. I went from saying Damon don’t shoot as the junior to marveling at his game as a Senior. An all time favorite! Geo has the potential to duplicate and surpass many RU all time favorites!

I texted two of my friends and said the same. I had not seen an RU player take over a game like that since Sellers.

 

[NJDOVES]

As I was leaving the game, I heard a women fan say “it was our worst game and our best game of the season “. I’d have to agree!
I haven’t watched the replay yet but late in the game, I just loved Yeboah on the floor with almost no chance of recovering a loose ball, and yet he came up with it!
This team has something special going on and I’m all in!

 

[GilliganIsland]

Great memory. Ironically enough was Bob Wenzel our coach for that game?

 

[ColonelRutgers]

If we make the NCAAs, we'll all be talking about Geo's clutch performance for many years ahead. Season saver. Whoa.

Santiago's clutch game winner, btw. Not positive but I think it was Kevin Willard that was chasing Santiago on the play.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Amazing performance. Has several of them. Need consistency.

 

[Loyal_2RU]

I've ever seen at RU.

Sellers and others from that team and era. Maybe Hinson and battle too. Someone maybe Chris remley at the meadowlands.

But those are details. This was a magnificent performance.

 

[devoted2ru]

Great memory. Ironically enough was Bob Wenzel our coach for that game?

Yes, Wenzel was the coach. -And if I recall correctly, when asked about it after the game, Bob said while watching it he thought the shot was actually going to go over the basket. ...But, of course, it went right in. :Rutgers :Basketball: :Hoops: :ThumbsUp

 

[Knights 1212]

That game by Santiago at Pitt was amazing as was Douby's game at the Carrier Dome. Roberts 3 at the buzzer in OT was his only 3 that he made in his career at Cuse and he hit it at the 3 point line straight on with a bank shot. talk about a lucky shot. That was so upsetting.

That aggressive switch was off for our defense an rebounding for most of the last few games (for the whole team). We’re not talented enough to win big games without playing aggressive D and without being beasts on the boards. We can’t take anyone or anything for granted... to win we must have that chip on our shoulder. If we do there is an opportunity for this to be a very special season. Geo may have flipped the switch ON for the whole team GO RU!

You have a ****** memory as Corey did it 2 years ago.

 

[RUBlackout]

What about Mitchell hitting that 4 point play to beat Villanova

 

[JavaDunk18]

What sets the Geo & Sellers apart is their performance has major implications on the postseason . RU loses to St Johns and they face Indiana at South Bend in opening round of ‘76 tournament
RU loses tonight and it’s an uphill battle to even get to the tourney at all..

This. I remember Santiago's shot like yesterday and QD was unstoppable that day. But we lose today and it may be lights out on the Tourney. This was a game we HAD to win. Much more pressure
