Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Maryland

[RUsojo]

So much whining with a 6 point lead at the half ...

Refactor officiated to keep it close very unfortunate and we would not get the same benefit if we were playing from behind in Maryland

 

[DHajekRC84]

Baker WTF was that?

Glad he's now in the offense but he does this every game. A wtf play at the worst time.
I guess I'll take it in trade for him finally scoring.
But we went completely away from JY.

 

[bac2therac]

Jy was getting a bit sloppy with handling...sometimes needs to be reined in

 

[RUsojo]

Lol..as if we aren't

I didn’t say that I think we do too

 

[BillyC80]

We’re a flawed team and I can live with that. Playing great D and hopefully wearing MD down. Still pissed about that technical though.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Up at the half and getting zero from Johnson and Harper.

I don't anything from miles other than rebounds and blocks and defense.

 

[bac2therac]

Up at the half and getting zero from Johnson and Harper.

Myles defense and boards

 

[RUsince52]

Think Maryland feels pretty good going into the half honestly

They know if they shoot that way in half two they won't win this anyway. Let's not help them.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Are u the one that says Geo isnt our best player or was that someone else doggin him

Which Geo?

 

[sunsetregret]

The kids are playing their asses off on defense. Lots of energy, flying all over the place. Defensively, you can't say they didn't come to play.

 

[zebnatto]

Win this freaking thing!

 

[brookdale-soda]

Best I've heard the RAC on TV this year. Nice job!

 

[shields]

Harper needs to wake up.

 

[RUsojo]

Up at the half and getting zero from Johnson and Harper.

Young, the three ball, and early possession green light for Geo allowing us be up a good amount even as the refs hitting us. Impressive

 

[RUsince52]

It was 11 not 13

But we were up 11 with the ball and threw it away.

 

[Scangg]

Bc he was in the zone and Pike took him out and you said he needed a breather. He didnt need a breather. He needed the ball. Took him out and he lost his rhythm. Players aren't robots. You dont take them out when they are killing it like that. Especially when it's a guy like Young who NEVER has looked tired once in his career

 

[bethlehemfan]

We killed the centennial. Nice job boys

 

[zebnatto]

But we were up 11 with the ball and threw it away.

It’s called a basketball game, two teams are playing.

 

[tfio]

Wanna dance? Time to earn it. Let's ******* go!

 

[bac2therac]

Maryland is 2-16 from 3

Ru 4-8

Winning boards 21-19

 

[Scangg]

I will say maryland missed a ton of open 3's. Tired legs for them play a factor this half hopefully

 

[Miggins]

Harper needs to contribute big time in the second half.

Think his D is great but we need 5+ points from him in 2nd half at least

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Yup. When youre on an absolute heater like that coach cant take you out just for the sake of “rotations!!!”

 

[Scangg]

That's what scares me. They are bound to hit more this half

Cant play 20 minutes..we will need him alot this half

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Cant play 20 minutes..we will need him alot this half

He was taken out after playing for 6 mins

 

[koleszar]

Harper needs to wake up.

Pike sent him one hell of a message not sure he even played after the tech.

 

[bac2therac]

Md 8 fouls
Ru 7 fouls

 

[ScarletWalk11]

I think Harper had two fouls which is why he sat

 

[Scangg]

Yup. When youre on an absolute heater like that coach cant take you out just for the sake of “rotations!!!”

I am not a fan of players questioning coaches but if I'm Young there I wave that sub off to the bench. If I'm the guy coming in for Young I might say to coach hes in the freaking zone coach let him play it out

 

[rufeelinit]

I think Harper is sitting because of the T. Played a pretty good half. Need to be just as good or better in second half. Expect little help from zebras

 

[motorb54]

It was 11 not 13

He said "maybe 13" because it was 11 with the ball = chance for 13.

 

[RUScrew85]

Best I've heard the RAC on TV this year. Nice job!

Really I can't hear crowd noise. I know it's there but I can't hear it so well. Maybe it's me.

 

[RUsojo]

They didn’t even review that Mathis 3 that they called a two right?

 

[Caliknight]

Ed Zucker?

Maybe. Who's that?

 

[RUfanSinceAnderson]

He said "maybe 13" because it was 11 with the ball = chance for 13.

Play best half of the year and win this game. Then put it in committees hands.

 

[Caliknight]

Terps will make a run. We need to withstand it and go on our own.

 

[Caliknight]

Another no call on Tez.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

you may need a soundbar

Lol 6 minutes. Play him another 10 and this game might be over already. You get tv timeouts and stopped clocks for fouls etc. He would be fineeee if Pike rode him more. You're over thinking it
