Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops versus Iowa

[bac2therac]

Don't give up

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

Thank god we didn’t call a timeout!!!!!!

 

[RUTrack94]

Tough loss ... but so much better to be competitive and beat any team in the league in any given night ... missed FTs is the difference.

 

[Rokodesh]

Why let the defense set up? Team practices this situation every day. They should know what the plan is. Just executed poorly.

Hard to execute when you get ******* hacked by the other team

 

[richthedentist]

the clock is not correct that was not .7 seconds

 

[rufancoe00]

21-13 foul differential and 33% ft killed ys

 

[koleszar]

Would’ve liked to see a replay of the geo exchange

Rewind it. His arm gets raked that's why he lost it. I originally thought he just lost it on his own.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

With 3 seconds left we couldnt draw up something better than that? Not sure why myles was on the court either. Is what it is

 

[richthedentist]

******** refs again

 

[ddsmugs]

Why no Johnson for the lob??? If all you could get off was a half court heave....why not have Johnson back @ the rim???

 

[KingOfTheEast]

What the **** is Pike doing at the end there?

I'm not one to call out Pike at all..but he was awful today. Downright awful

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Outcoached

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers failed to get rebound and then Iowa makes two foul shots.Baker misses shot and then Iowa makes foul shots to win the game 77-75.This was a bad loss at home because Rutgers was the better team but poor shooting at the foul line and missed shots around the basket was the difference..

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

Free throws

 

[Ronnie_B]

Free throws - that's all their is to it, even with rotten refs.

 

[greenknight]

Maybe this is actually incentive for them.to concentrate buckle down and make FT's 4-12 is beyond horrible

 

[RU848789]

18-23 vs. 4-12 from the line - we said we'd lose 1 or 2 due to bad FT shooting and we did.

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

Cant win when Ron and Jacob play like juco players.... only frustrating thing is Garza gets a little bump and he gets an and-1 then geo gets obviously mauled and no call

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Outcoached

...and free throws

 

[rtabachk]

We were not out coached. Relax. We missed wide open 3s multiple times and we missed free throws. That's why we lost.

 

[SCNJ]

Damn Mathis was open and probably had time for a catch and shoot 3. Rutgers played well for the most part. Just not enough to win. It happens. Still a good team.

 

[cyrock3]

Free throws. That's all there is to it. Even with the whistle.

 

[NickKnight 1]

Free throws

absolutely

 

[greenknight]

We are better than Iowa mfer

 

[richthedentist]

With 3 seconds left we couldnt draw up something better than that? Not sure why myles was on the court either. Is what it is

agreed unless he was under the basket

 

[Rokodesh]

Should've called a time out and get the team settled. I was going crazy at home so I can only imagine the players. **** the refs for not calling a foul when Geo got hacked

 

[rudad02]

Except for the usual *****y calls we beat ourselves.

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Free throw boys thats what cost us

 

[brad1218]

Free throws will be a problem in big games. Just can’t shoot them as poorly as we are. It will bite you eventually

 

[DHajekRC84]

Bad end execution. And of course we get the Harper foul but they don't get bohanons.

 

[bac2therac]

tip your cap to Iowa...they made their free throws and RU left alot of points off the scoreboard with misses both at the line and on the court

for all those who say Iowa plays no defense, give them credit today, they shut down some things

 

[Captain Hogleg]

Ron didn’t have a good game. That was the difference. He needed to let our guards win this.

 

[SCNJ]

Outcoached

Yeah out coached in the sense that the best player in the country exploded in the final 10 minutes.

 

[Postman_1]

Complaining about the refs all the time is lame. Better team won. Make your free throws and Rutgers wins. A college team shooting 33% FT is a joke.

 

[GORU2014]

Outcoached

Omg shut up, every loss you have the dumbest takes on Pike. Magoo is right

 

[DHajekRC84]

Free throws will be a problem in big games. Just can’t shoot them as poorly as we are. It will bite you eventually

Didn't see enough but sounds like it just did.

 

[bac2therac]

there were so many moments where RU could have extended leads they had.

 

[ScarletKid2008]

Was GEOs arm not absolutely hacked on that last possession??!? ?!

 

[jvgrad02]

The refs took another game away from us. When are we going to get the respect that we deserve. I counted 7 fouls not counted against us. The announcers even mentioned it. **** these stupid refs!@

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Can't say we aren't in all these games.
