HARPER

 

[tfio]

Lets go! Finish strong

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

Wow maybe not having myles the entire first half against Iowa wasnt helpful...

 

[bac2therac]

Here we go..pour it on

 

[Zak57]

Ron with the 2 hand dunk and the foul!

 

[RU848789]

30-13 since being down 14-4. All is right with the world these last 10 minutes.

 

[RU848789]

Myles is a man!!

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

See Ron you box out good things happen.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Keep feeding the post.

 

[Spare130_rivals]

Keep foot on the gas

 

[koleszar]

Just outmuscling them now. I like this nothing flashy just playing harder.

 

[tfio]

And makes the free throw!

 

[bac2therac]

37-27

Only 3 fouls

 

[RU Mike73]

Finally passing it inside. :WooHoo:

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

Amazing how much more enjoyable a game is when the refs let the guys play

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

2 for 1 people.

 

[koleszar]

O boy let's see this one. And once again an end of the half prayer. We need a better play.

But overall the effort is great, they're outhustling and muscling them.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Nice close to the half for a change.

 

[shields]

We got the last shot at least.

 

[bac2therac]

After being down 14-4....Rutgers finishes on a 33-13 run

37-27 half

 

[RUsojo]

Harper stayed in when young and Mathis checked in for the first time this year

Absolutely Knight and Day offensively the more minutes young and Harper play

Best offensive performance in well over a month go figure.... easy game

[Ronnie_B]

Strong finish to what was mostly a sloppy first half.

 

[mildone_rivals]

That’s true even when we’re losing. The game develops a flow that is absent when the refs fall in love with the sound of their whistles.

 

[RuBird]

MCConnell to Johnson all game long. Thing of beauty!

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Good finish for the half. Like that early bird special comment from Katz.

 

[Colbert17!]

Terrible last possesion. Started the set too late.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Waited too long to start running a play and have to chuck up a prayer. I can't stand that.

 

[rubjk]

Everyone keeps saying Myles isn’t great offensively. I disagree, in most games we don’t get him the ball enough. We should feed the post a lot more.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

I fear the first 5 Min after halftime... I think they will come out thinking they already won.

 

[Ronnie_B]

After being down 14-4....Rutgers finishes on a 33-13 run

37-27 half

I got a late start to watching the game but wow, I didn't know we were down -10 from first couple minutes.

 

[Degaz-RU]

This is like last year. Only 1-9 from deep, but up by 10.

 

[RUby RED]

Myles should go for 20+ tonight. No foul trouble and no one on NW that can contain him

 

[BOCA93]

MJ is having his way in the paint. Dominant first half and no foul trouble

 

[RU848789]

Myles with 12/6 in one half, including 5-5 from the field and even 2-3 from the line. Finally feeding him more. His FG% is just insane this year - up to 69% in B1G play.

 

[RUsojo]

@fluoxetine

imagine how much better we’d look of geo was taking 15-20 18 footers lol

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

The way the players run this offense, it's like they are handcuffing themselves, more than the opponent is defending it, in the things they should be running on offense.

 

[RUJMM78]

Ten point lead at half time after slow start.Rutgers needs to come out strong in the second half and put Northwestern away

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Waited too long to start running a play and have to chuck up a prayer. I can't stand that.

Well. Wrong guy with ball.. Baker.. See him wait till 11 secs then raise a hand asking.. What are we doing?

That could have benn asking RHJ why he brought his man over when Geo wanted a one on one step back

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

MJ with 2 free throws in a row... 1 more for those 5% odds!

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

After all the bitching in first five minutes we have been in absolute control. Went on a 14-2 run, close out half on a 15-3 run. Myles a monster, Harper chips in 8, kopp held to 3 points, nance held to 4, forcing Gaines to beat us.... crazy
