Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Illinois

[mikebal9]

I'll give Paul one thing he's a scrappy player. Always fighting for a ball and never gives up.

That's the one thing you'll give him? Not the fact that his help defense on Cockburn has been superb today?

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Boy would Caleb help in this game.

I've noticed Myles is just bringing the ball uptinto shooting position and shooting, almost in one motion, on his FTs and seems to be shooting them a bit better. I seem to recall him bringing the ball into shooting position and then pausing before shooting. Am I imagining things?

What happened to Cliff. Man

One of our guys went down and rolled into him twisting his ankle

That’s the stuff that people miss ‘cause it doesn’t show up on the stat sheet. But it wins games.

 

[jerzeyguy]

Caleb would really help in this game

 

[RUPartisan]

Paul's greatest asset is his fiestiness and ability to get under opponents skin.

 

[Degaz-RU]

We’ve missed about 6 bunnies today

 

[Scarlet Knut]

Paul not scoring , but playing great otherwise. Love his hustle.

 

[bac2therac]

I dont think Dosumnu has scored this half but Georgie is heating up

 

[BillyC80]

Man, this is an exciting game that would be so sweet to win. Gotta find a way.

 

[RUsince52]

Our touch around the basket leaves a lot to be desired. Just can't finish and usually no foul, but we miss so many FTs it doesn't matter.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

If this team could consistently make layups and free throws we are easily a Top 10 team in the nation.

That missed dunk hopefully doesn’t become the play of the game. What a killer

 

[Degaz-RU]

Our perimeter guys (other than Young) do not have the foot speed to stop dribble drive penetration. Illini guards getting by MM and Geo too easily. Myles comes to help they make a good pass for an easy layup.

This. Curbelo abusing Geo off the dribble

 

[greenknight]

Need to bring in duc to give MJ a 2 or 3 minute blow

Agree and one of the things that makes JY so valuable.

Does he always shoot free throws with stiff legs?

 

[RUby RED]

Why does Georgi always kill us? His numbers are generally pedestrian against everyone else

 

[RUB1GTime]

I have the same concern.

It's a figure of speech, learn the fvcking English language.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Baker isn’t a hundred percent for sure.

 

[BOCA93]

Really frustrating to have Giorgi heat up with Cofi on the bench.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Mulcahy getting the soccer award. LOL

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

PM little things

 

[Postman_1]

Brutal shot

 

[RU Mike73]

Geo needs to take a seat.

 

[BillyC80]

Paul is everywhere today.

 

[bac2therac]

already in one and one..wow..gotta make em

curbello out with 4 fouls?

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Needed those 2 FTs. Thank u PM

 

[FIJI'83]

Geo 2/4. Needs to shoot more ... and score

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Too easy for 11

 

[RU Mike73]

Under control please

 

[RU848789]

Mulcahy with a real mixed game today. Two horrible travels and a bricked trey, but some huge rebounds and great help defense on Cockburn. And made his 2 FTs.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

That’s a dunk

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

No ref, no. No

 

[bac2therac]

that should have been and one

 

[RUby RED]

How’s that not an and-1

 

[BillyC80]

That’s a foul on the shot!

 

[e5fdny]

Right now % -wise they're ahead of us in everything.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Jeez. That kid is good.
