Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Michigan State

[jerzeyguy]

We've been playing with defeated energy for a few games now. Team looks out of it

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Playing crappy, but only down 4. I will take it.

 

[Rokodesh]

We must be getting killed on the boards.

And on this board

 

[phlop87]

Post up Harper or MJ. Let them work Do that a few times and the outside will open up

 

[SCNJ]

If you’re looking for a positive sign so far, we shot an embarrassing 27% from the floor, 0% from 3 and 0% from the free throw line and we’re only down 4. Michigan State not really capitalizing on an awful half from Rutgers.

 

[greenknight]

Johnson seem tentative. Prob doesn’t want to get fouled.

It amazes me the lack of game knowledge sometimes. You have 5 fouls a game if you are going to foul someone FOUL them and do not let let them get the ball up.....why are you throwing a timid chest into someone and giving them 3 point play

 

[Caliknight]

This is the worst MSU team I have seen in years.

 

[RUJMM78]

In games like this the best you can hope for is that the second half will show Rutgers with a pulse.

We played with defeated energy against Purdue and Iowa? Really

 

[bac2therac]

6-22 fg

 

[rtabachk]

0-6 on FTs and shooting 27%.....but down 4....

 

[BOCA93]

Come on reiber, go up strong when you’re that close to the rim! You’re 6-10

 

[IL Lusciato]

We need to drop out of the top 25. We don't belong.

Embarrassing.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Down only 6 is a miracle.

 

[RU206]

Team is playing soft

 

[jerzeyguy]

Iowa yes

We played with defeated energy against Purdue and Iowa? Really

 

[MS-RU]

Must be nice to have players who can make FTs.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Is Geo hurt? Where is he?

 

[koleszar]

Montez gets the ball, he's just driving. Doesn't matter the guy is 6'11".

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

Montez so out of control

 

[Rutgers25]

MSU is tough defensively. Big difference compared to soft Iowa

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Young and Mathis are just totally out of control.

 

[JFK20]

Is Geo hurt? Where is he?

2 Fouls

 

[RU848789]

MSU has played 11 guys so far. Our D has kept us in shouting distance...

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers drives to the basket are futile.

 

[RW90]

Most exciting play of the game is hearing our bench yell during the MSU foul shots.

 

[greenknight]

Het Tez do you see a 7ft giant being covered by a 6'7 150 lb player pass the ******* ball

 

[ColonelRutgers]

What is Young doing out there? WHERE IS GEO??

 

[tfio]

This is embarrassing

 

[Rokodesh]

Two ******* fouls on MSU not called

 

[RUPartisan]

Does anyone get blocked more than Mathis?

 

[RUsojo]

Every time Paul drives with back to basket it’s a disaster

 

[bac2therac]

omg this is embarrassing...Mathis and Mulcahy back to back just horrific decision making
what the f is going on

DO SOMETHING STEVE

 

[drewbagel423]

0-6 on FTs

How ANY D1 team can accomplish that is beyond me. And how many years now have we been bad at FTs?

 

[RU Mike73]

Come on Jacob. Get under control.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Anyone else starting to realize the problems with not running an offense?

 

[ColonelRutgers]

I guess Geo is out because of 2 fouls? We need him in there.

 

[Rokodesh]

This is the worst MSU team I have seen in years.

Worst Rutgers too

 

[rtabachk]

I was wrong.... This isn't like watching a car wreck with mangled body parts..... This is like watching an orphanage fall apart and burn down next to an assisted living facility that exploded next to an animal rescue on fire.

 

[BillyC80]

How many shots has MSU blocked already?
