[hbbsm713_rivals]

Wtf

 

[BillyC80]

Nice finish by Paul!

 

[bac2therac]

wtf giving up open 3 there....great vision by Geo to Mulcahy for finish..and misses the free throw 0-7

22-20, 6-0 run here we go

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

MSU has 13 TURNOVERS in the 1ST HALF! My Lord. Ugly, ugly, ugly basketball by these squads.

 

[biazza38]

Sigh

 

[Captain Hogleg]

Can we make a layup?

 

[RW90]

Et tu Paul?

 

[bac2therac]

cannot play Caleb...we just cannot

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

0-7 free throws for RU so far?

 

[Rokodesh]

******* pathetic that they can't make a free-throw

 

[Caliknight]

Serious question. Why is Caleb playing? Is this for the future?

 

[Joey Bags]

JFC

 

[IL Lusciato]

Why does this team think they are perpetually in an And1 highlight video? Pathetic offense.

 

[Letitrip]

This should officially be called the "panic" board. Relax people

 

[BillyC80]

JY had to finish that.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

cannot play Caleb...we just cannot

Caleb is KILLING us

 

[RuBird]

No one gets on the plane until they hit 10 FTs in a row!

 

[zappaa]

We could go an entire half with 0 for foul line and 3s

 

[RU Mike73]

This is beyond comprehension. Make a layup or FT.

 

[Rokodesh]

McConnell should be playing like 3 minutes a game right now

 

[Plum Street]

Awful first half

 

[tfio]

Might be the worst half of anything I’ve ever watched

 

[herdof3]

It had a dream once that I needed to run but my legs wouldn't work. This game fes like that.

this is a perfect description

 

[Captain Hogleg]

Be a leader Caleb. Make a foul shot please

 

[bac2therac]

so we had a chance to tie and now its quickly up to 7 again, our usual last minute swoon

 

[RUsojo]

Another last two minutes melt down

 

[koleszar]

It's a fvcking miracle.

 

[MS-RU]

Straight trash performance..0-7 from FT and 3.

 

[rtabachk]

2-9

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

We made a darn FT.

 

[SBP]

so bad......

 

[RU848789]

They're letting Myles play at least - he would've fouled out already with the OSU refs, lol.

Caleb is really struggling, but nice to see him hit 2 FTs.

 

[RU Mike73]

All this Jacob praise is misplaced. Out of control.

 

[bac2therac]

Caleb with free throws

 

[biazza38]

Who fouled him? Not Myles

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Might be the worst half of anything I’ve ever watched

Lol

 

[BillyC80]

At least Caleb made his FTs.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Yeah was thinking about this before the game and wondering to myself if the reason we don’t beat them is because typically they’re athletic enough to stifle our transition and we’ve never had a half court threat against them.

But, I then proceeded to take RU on the Moneyline lol

We still don’t have a good halfcourt offense. But for me the reasons we’ve been so much better offensively this year for me are:

1) Jacob Young playing more minutes, and usually (not early tonight) dominating the ball when in half court

2)Not passing on open 3s early in the shot clock

3) emphasizing transition offense

Izzo of course rushes a potential 2 for 1. Smart man who believes in math

 

[bac2therac]

Myles gives us nothing on offense and its glaring in this game

 

[rtabachk]

We should be winning with the defense we've played.
