Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Michigan

[FrankZ_RU93]

An up 5-6 foul thank you to the refs. Please stay out of it.

 

[ScarletDave]

Montez needs to be the one in the gym at midnight working on something. Great D usually (although burned by Simpson a few times tonight) but it’s the energy and confidence lacking in his game right now

Stats very even..except Michigan has taken 13 3s..just 3-13..that is alot...we are forcing them into taking low percentage shots

I think RU looks solid on O...just have to be patient

Montez should sit the rest of the game

The RAC was electric at times..lets come out strong and let the RAC do the rest

Difference between this game and last

Geo

And the D we are playing. Completely different strategy. Not hedging on Simpson is huge.

Notice how those corner threes aren't there anymore? Exactly as drawn up.

Too many empty possessions. Don’t like Geo forcing things on offense. Young was borderline out of control on offense but dogging Simpson big time. Myles at the foul line against the 2-3 is not ideal. I will take being up three but I think we are going to need to play better in the second half to pull this out. Would help if Harper would get going.

Murphy and Christie both at the game along with Jalen Rose and Quincy Douby.

 

[Randal7]

I really dislike Xavier Simpson. As a player. Not a person. (just to be clear)

 

[RUScrew85]

Michigan is setting illegal pics all over the place and they have not called one

They'll call them in the second half as part of the "Totally Call the Second Half of Game Differently" policy

 

[czxqa]

Shaq got away with one there. Chicken wing

"That's life inside in the Big Ten." Lolol

They have taken a bunch of them.. just have not hit them

Myles found harper for an easy layup there.

Good half...think this one goes to the wire... would be nice to get more offense inside... c'mon guys...

It seems when things don't go his way he pouts(facial and body language), then pushes harder and becomes reckless and out of control. A healthy time out for him usually gets his head back into the game.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Need Yeboah and/or Harper to get off early here.

 

[RUScrew85]

Second half is Our Half.

 

[richthedentist]

I would start Jacoby on Xavier Simpson

 

[tfio]

Let's win this ish

 

[DHajekRC84]

Difference between this game and last

Geo

And defense

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Stayed with Tez. Please be right.

It's already started 24 seconds in.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Is something wrong with Johnson? Why is Carter playing so much?

 

[Caliknight]

They have taken a bunch of them.. just have not hit them

Exactly. Because they have been contested because we aren't creating offense by hedging hard.

 

[Caliknight]

Stayed with Tez. Please be right.

It's all about D on Simpson. Keep tag teaming him with Young and Tez. Exactly as prescribed.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Need Yeboah and/or Harper to get off early here.

Thanks

 

[BillyC80]

Kwasi, nice finish. RU up 5.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Fade-away unbelievable

 

[BillyC80]

Geo! RU up 7.

 

[richthedentist]

Call a moving picture goddamnit

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Lol, You know the calls are coming.

hmmmm

 

[BOCA93]

Teske needs to get called for his screens.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Up 9. Please

 

[BillyC80]

Harper draws a shooting foul. Makes both. RU up by 9.

 

[koleszar]

That's it Ron take it to the hoop again and again.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Castleton’d

 

[BillyC80]

Put Myles in.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Need Johnson

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Tez is nowhere close. Please sit.

 

[koleszar]

Get Mathis out. He can't hit anything and is pressing too hard.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

simpson carry

 

[czxqa]

Mulcahy got shoved from behind no call
