Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Michigan State

[RU MAN]

So far they're letting both teams play. That usually changes last 20 minutes

True. And that's why Pike needs to remind these kids they need to get off to a fast start in the second half and drive the ball to the basket or feed Myles underneath.

 

[RU MAN]

We have to take it to them. We should be up by 10-12 points.

 

[anon_xekqhstck0ygt]

ya they let MSU "play D" on drives and RU gets called for phantom off the ball fouls. The little PG they have blatantly pushed off Young with no call. And Harper was held on his block he got called for a foul.

Uh-no. The officiating so far is still too one-sided. I counted two offensive fouls against us that weren't fouls and at least 3 drives we took to the basket that weren't called.

 

[RUJMM78]

Really worried about the offense, we don’t win low scoring games.

Rutgers can't maintain offense which allows opponents to get back in games .Without crowd in arena home court advantage is gone for Rutgers.

 

[zebnatto]

Agree: two offensive end fouls were bs as was shooting foull v Ron, and no calls on our drives.

 

[RUTRINI_rivals]

Everyone's talking about JY, but how about Ron? He's 1-7 and every time he gets the ball, it's ISO ball. I get frustrated watching him play sometimes. He gets hot at times, but I always get the vibe that it's like playground ball to him. Sometimes he just jogs. Sometimes he's just caught watching the ball. Focus and hustle, man! Just watch closely...

RHJ will go off for 14-16 in the 2nd half. Pike knows he has to get him looks playing post up or 2 man ball with Geo.

 

[RUBlackout]

Take it straight to them coming out of the half.

go to points in the paint where we were crushing them early on

 

[RUsojo]

2-11 the last two seasons in conference when we don’t hit 70.

For context, when our conference opponent doesn’t hit 70 against us they are 7-10.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

I think we see Myles and Cliff out there together if MSU continues to dominate the glass.

 

[RU MAN]

I like the zone.

 

[RU848789]

Geo - nice start

 

[richthedentist]

no free throws come on

 

[bac2therac]

we got this

 

[bac2therac]

turnovers will decide this game

 

[RU MAN]

Yes Hoggard you fouled Mulcahy.

 

[koleszar]

Harper egads 1-8.

 

[RU848789]

Harper's treys are just barely missing

 

[richthedentist]

Harper has to make a 3 pointer he has had 3 wide open threes

 

[RUsojo]

Got to take advantage with Kithier and Hoegard I’m not sure what izzo is doing

 

[RU MAN]

OMG Bo called a foul against MSU.

 

[RU Mike73]

Nice box out PM

 

[RUsojo]

Got to take advantage with Kithier and Hoegard I’m not sure what izzo is doing

Kithier lol seriously don’t know what Izzo is doing

 

[Night Man]

Nice break with the foul being called on the floor rather than putting Myles at the line.

 

[RU MAN]

Henry did travel. Good call.

 

[RW90]

Big man sighting

 

[RU848789]

Myles!!!!!

 

[RUsojo]

Paul great off the ball movement. Really showing he can play off the ball offensively of late, makes up his D and has earned more minutes as such

 

[tfio]

Lfgggggg

 

[koleszar]

Even Bo likes us now.

 

[richthedentist]

Wow are first foul shot coming up 23 minutes into the game

 

[RU MAN]

MYLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Yippee

 

[Caliknight]

Getting the ball inside. Thank you!

 

[RU MAN]

Even Bo likes us now.

SHHH!

 

[RW90]

Daaaum

 

[RU848789]

And MJ makes the FT! We're 100% from the line!

 

[tfio]

And makes the free throw!! Lets go

 

[RUsojo]

Myles dominating. Finally Bingham is subbed in - Izzo coming out with the squad that went down 15-0 is a horrible job by the hall of fame coach

 

[RU MAN]

Geez Harper.

 

[RU Mike73]

100% FT
