Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Penn State

[newell138]

This is why domestic violence happens

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Rutgers running down the clock was hotlrrific..a full out panic again

With only 4 fouls, Penn State should’ve been fouling all over there. We never should’ve got an open shot. Terrible coaching by Chambers in second half.

 

[MGSA99]

@#$×!@#!

 

[ru66]

some of you guys are terrible

 

[RUJMM78]

Great second half effort for Rutgers but another sad lesson learned by a no show performance in the first half.

 

[bac2therac]

Passive final possession

This team never learns

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Geo did have the ball. They trapped him. Should have went to Young to create after that

Blatantly illegal screen wins the game. It didnt even out. That was the deciding call of the game that directly changed the outcome

The refs are NEVER going to call that.

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Thinking about that last-second loss at Va. Tech...

Which kept us out of NCAA

 

[jerzeyguy]

We needed that game. Back breaker

 

[bac2therac]

some of you guys are terrible

Lmfao...its about wins and losses

 

[jordkap]

I fully believe that’s the tourney there. Win and you are in. They won’t come back from that

 

[KingOfTheEast]

This is why domestic violence happens

Jeez man...

 

[DHajekRC84]

JY should've had the ball IMO - our best player tonight, who couldn't be stopped on dribble penetration...

Because that is coaching in game vs. Doing the same damn thing over and over and over. And I knew calling that last TO with 2mins 20 secs would be an issue.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

You are not getting the call..sorry

We had 25 seconds to take a good shot

Agree with your second point. #1 is absolute b.s..

 

[ColonelRutgers]

some of you guys are terrible

We just missed our chance to go to the NCAAs for the first tome in 29 years. Anything anyone wants to say out of frustration is fair game.

 

[bac2therac]

Young was not in at the end..correct? Who was the other player..myles geo ron yeb

 

[SHU83]

First Pikiell is a coach of the year candidate and now some of you are saying he's a bad coach. Which is it?

 

[RUby RED]

Will this be the game we look back on in 20 years as the “one that got away” when our tournament drought extends to 50 years. I’m only half-kidding

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

He lost it with the insane subs

This, you sub in duke and have them extend a 1 point lead to 7 which soon balloons to 10 or 12 whatever it was. Cant do it. Cant cant do it. Team fought tooth and nail to erase a 21 point lead and you **** them like that with 6:38 left?!

 

[bac2therac]

The fact is they never should have been down 21

 

[Jtung230]

Great game. Very happy they turned it around. We got beat which is a lot better than us losing the game. Only complaint was the last possession. Whatever Pike called did not work.

 

[Scangg]

How much did we miss that AY layup that should've been easy to hit after the steal?

That play was a killer. Just way too casual about it there and left the ball dangling out towards the defender. Lazy play

 

[greenknight]

some of you guys are terrible

You want a participation trophy go watch your town rec ball. In the NCAA it's about WINNING!

 

[IL Lusciato]

I HATE being a ******* Rutgers fan.

 

[RUby RED]

First Pikiell is a coach of the year candidate and now some of you are saying he's a bad coach. Which is it?

He’s a coach of the year candidate because of how historically **** we’ve been. I agree some are being too harsh on him but his substitution patterns throughout the season have been killer

 

[bac2therac]

On pike for sure

 

[RutgersChow]

Huh? Who doesn't know Pikes last play yet? Clearly PSU does too.

They made him give up the ball and we had nothing prepared.

 

[Mr_Twister]

give me a break

Add something to the thread beyond Stinky Bait.

 

[SHU83]

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Yeboah was almost same spot when he hit the 3 before. Good shot

 

[BOCA93]

Screen from their center should've been called. Jeez. Nice foot movement on that screen.

Horrible

Harar did that all game. I’d they didn’t call up to that point, they’re not going to with 25 seconds left

 

[koleszar]

First Pikiell is a coach of the year candidate and now some of you are saying he's a bad coach. Which is it?

Tonight he surely wasn't, had psu on the ropes got a 21 point lead down to 1. He puts in some asinine lineup for way too long and the lead balloons back to 10. It was a scratch and claw game to get that back down till the end. This game is on him.

 

[SHU83]

Don't follow Rutgers close enough to know his substitution patterns. All I ever hear is what a great coach he is.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Because that is coaching in game vs. Doing the same damn thing over and over and over. And I knew calling that last TO with 2mins 20 secs would be an issue.

Chambers tried to bail us out and call a TO after the 3 too. Obviously he wouldve told his guys to start fouling the moment we attempt to drive and wouldve set up a full court press.

 

[RUboston]

It is so tough being a Rutgers fan. Waiting for that signature road win to possibly get us into the tournament for the first time since 1991. Down 21 and come back, take the lead at the end, and then lose by one. Brutal.

 

[MV9000]

Agree the Duke sub killed it. Way too much Paul also tonight who outside that 3 was just a warm body.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Because that is coaching in game vs. Doing the same damn thing over and over and over. And I knew calling that last TO with 2mins 20 secs would be an issue.

that was a decent timeout... but we should have had one more..

Thanks for your contribution, everyone is going crazy over this loss. We needed it, didn’t get it. Like I said, give me a break. Find something else to complain about

 

[BOCA93]

With only 4 fouls, Penn State should’ve been fouling all over there. We never should’ve got an open shot. Terrible coaching by Chambers in second half.

Honestly, RU should have been fouling. Put them at the line for 2. Better than giving up a game winner for 3.

 

[RUsojo]

Can’t even comment anymore. I left it all in this thread
