Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Michigan State

[biazza38]

I’m watching the Georgia run off now. They sucked today

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Why are McConnell and Reiber playing? WTF is this?

 

[zappaa]

Harper standing still

 

[Roy_Faulker]

MSU is so long and athletic - don’t recall the last time JY was shut down like this.

 

[BOCA93]

What’s really frustrating is MSU isn’t good. It’s Henry and no one else

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

That sound you hear is Bilas erasing his top 25 vote.

I hate Bills but he has tried to make excuses for us today.

 

[RW90]

Way too much f'in hero ball.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Is Pike just making a statement to some guys now? Limiting Tez and JY?

 

[Colbert17!]

Is there going to be an NIT with covid? Asking for Rutgers.

ridiculous

 

[RUfan1027]

Michigan State has given up 75+ points in every conference game this season. We have 33 in 28 minutes.

 

[Rokodesh]

Jacob young needs to stop driving on four ******* defenders

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

It’s pretty obvious when they’re running box sets and horns. I know this has been your schtick for the past few years but you’d really be an idiot to think Pike sends them out there with no direction on offense.

I dont consider horns “running an offense”

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Can’t make layups, FTs, and shots of any nature. Other than that we are offensively fine

 

[greenknight]

No need for that if it's not there pull it out and set up a play. I cant wat h this horseshit much longer

 

[koleszar]

We’re comically bad now

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Is Pike just making a statement to some guys now? Limiting Tez and JY?

montez is a pouter. He’s only good when things are going right for him.

 

[RUsince52]

Com on Young, you can't miss those off the glass like that.

 

[Plum Street]

Let’s see if this team has any ball$

 

[80RU]

Jacob young needs to stop driving on four ****ing defenders

I would ordinarily agree, but considering how good the half-court offense has been…

 

[RU848789]

When will they raise the banner for last year in the rac ?

Who gives a ****? Are you saying we weren't already in the tourney?

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Jacob young needs to stop driving on four ****ing defenders

Whats our alternative? Seriously. Our entire half court offense is predicated on beating guys one on one. We do ourselves ZERO favors with this dog **** “offense”. I cant believe this is what our half court offense looks like still in year 5.

 

[jerzeyguy]

What's the score

But what if you’re the jinx?

 

[RU Mike73]

There’s Young, missing another layup by driving 1 on 3.

 

[RUsojo]

Where are the Paul is selfish comments?

No I kid but really Pike should’ve pulled him already.

 

[RW90]

Com on Young, you can't miss those off the glass like that.

Better he not take them.

 

[BigEastPhil]

I think we re allergic to the state of Michigan.

 

[RU206]

McConnell shouldn’t see the floor the remainder of the game

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Funny thing is, JY drove in on multiple defenders, actually got a decent shot, and it’s just another missed layup. It’s comical at this point.

 

[greenknight]

Just deleted my DVR not watching this back

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

I think this is it. No inside game. I think JY is trying to drive to the hoop because he doesn’t have an option inside and they are playing right on the perimeter. Problem is they are playing stifling D as he does that. How many blocks do they have?

Sparty isn't as good offensively as they usually are, yet, but they still are very talented and beating the crap out of us defensively. Our perimeter guys are usually better than the other guys and we can overcome our inside game weaknesses. Not tonight.

 

[tfio]

Is anyone on the bench screaming at Young there to calm to the **** down and not to throw up a prayer for the hell of it? Cause everyone knew what was coming

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

I dont consider horns “running an offense”

You were right, Kyk. Bubble team.

 

[shields]

Mathis also has 3 fouls, would come back and get number 4.

 

[Colbert17!]

Jacob young needs to stop driving on four ****ing defenders

He shoots the ball off balance constantly.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Sifting thru cereal boxes again

:chairshot:

 

[ScottRU93]

Say goodbye to Top 25 with this NATL TV performance

 

[Shell21]

The problem is when they shut down our initial look on our first action we get bogged down and don’t have a counter . That’s why we needed more continuity tonight as an adjustment . They are taking away our first look all night . That Iverson cut by geo there was the first open shot off our intial action I’ve seen tonight

 

[bac2therac]

montez is a pouter. He’s only good when things are going right for him.

there was chatter here that he was a selfless player, I almost choked when i read that....while he has improved his consistency this season, selfless is hardly a description for him

 

[Mr. Gerbz_rivals]

JY needs to take that right into the defenders chest. Was going up against a guard on break and I’m sick of the Mathis euro step when he gain no depth on the drive.

 

[Anon1751594821]

If we can make a few stops, we can get right back in this game. Let's see what we are made of.

Best of Luck,
Groz
