Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Indiana

[bac2therac]

Play these guys all 20 minutes

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

First 4 minutes will decide this game. Get off to a good start I think we will coast.

 

[Ruthinking]

Call the moving pick on #23....He does it everytime

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Seton Hall is done.

Speak to me...

 

[RU Mike73]

Amazing what a few made baskets can do. This board goes from “fire pike” to euphoria. People on this board can be ridiculous.

 

[shields]

Finish the deal. Play Young 16 minutes in 2nd half. Not ridiculous, 31 years is a long ff time. Want to see effort.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Ball go in, game fun.

 

[rubjk]

Family in the stands and a bit of emotion from them got us going. I don’t think there is another team in the country that plays better off the atmosphere, crowd and emotion.

 

[bac2therac]

Someone already mentioned...This really is shades of the big 10 tourney game at Msg vs the Hoosiers

 

[RuSnp]

Finish the deal. Play Young 16 minutes in 2nd half.

Young helps us play up tempo. We can't score grinding it out. Open it up and run a bit - the looks from 3 are better.

 

[RUsojo]

Ron shooting a lot better with Caleb out

 

[Degaz-RU]

This was fueled by much better defense, but it actually STARTED with a three by Geo and then a three (off a curl no less) by Paul.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

By the way, 11 assists on 14 FGs. Quick ball movement was key to that run — kept finding the open man and shots fell.

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

F'ing Jax-Davis is getting away with moving picks all game but Young taps him and he gets FTs. Pike absolutely has to get on the refs to start calling those fouls on Jax-Davis.

I can't like this post enough. My better half has noticed that all game, he should already be fouled out if his name was Myles Johnson.

 

[mugrat86]

AMAZING what you can do with the right rotation getting extended minutes.

you are a ******* idiot. You said Geo sucks and shouldn’t be playing

 

[YoucancallmeRay]

Have to come out on fire... start mathis in the Jacob Young harras the ball roll. Don't want an early 3rd foul on Young.

And keep shooting those threes... with confidence.

Ok, but gotta be careful of falling in love with the threes. And Mathis? Really? Keep this lineup for most of the half until it doesn't work.

 

[Mikemarc]

Family in the stands and a bit of emotion from them got us going. I don’t think there is another team in the country that plays better of the atmosphere, crowd and emotion.

Definitely not.

A full RAC all season..this is a top 20 team

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Call the moving pick on #23....He does it everytime

and the over-the-back offensive boards by #23.. ridiculous

 

[rob kight]

Young helps us play up tempo. We can't score grinding it out. Open it up and run a bit - the looks from 3 are better.

And Myles not in foul trouble is important.

 

[RUtrumpet92_rivals498139]

I would let Young decide when he needs a rest unless he gets a 4th foul early.

 

[knight82]

Which team shows up in the second half? The one from the first 12 minutes or the one from the last 8 minutes?

 

[mikeyoc]

And Myles not in foul trouble is important.

If we can close the deal this will be the best win of the season

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Ok, but gotta be careful of falling in love with the threes. And Mathis? Really? Keep this lineup for most of the half until it doesn't work.

Don't want the refs able to calla quick foul on Young.. I think we'll get more minutes from him by NOT starting him this half.

 

[rufeelinit]

Move the ball and if you get the open shot take it. Not so hard.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Ron shooting a lot better with Caleb out

Caleb does a lot of little things well but is very inefficient and can be a ball stopper on O

 

[hbr1103]

Play these guys all 20 minutes

BAC I said same thing

 

[80RU]

I’m just so confused on those movie screens by # 23 — He will actually move several times in a sequence over a few seconds.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Which team shows up in the second half? The one from the first 12 minutes or the one from the last 8 minutes?

we’ll probably see both again

 

[RU848789]

11 assists on 14 FGs - we moved the ball so well those last 8 minutes...

 

[FRA10Thunderbolt]

We’ve seen this movie before this season. Get hot...bring it within or take slight lead...get lazy a

All of you are babies

I admit it I am a baby when we’re losing. Waaaah, waaah.

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

Yes it does. We are playing FAST and Indiana is scrambling on D

Please stop. We have seen this lineup before and Ron has the same amount of 3s tonight as he has had over past 8 games. Tonight he is 2-3 over last 8 games he is 2-32. Geo is 4-6 tonight compared to 4-14 over last 4 games. Must be the line up. Come on. Let’s me guess when Ron and geo go cold it won’t be the lineup anymore.

You guys will say anything to be right.

 

[RU848789]

Call the moving pick on #23....He does it everytime

yep, called that awhile back - at least call it once to make him stop doing it...

 

[RUsojo]

Ron shooting a lot better with Caleb out

No I didn’t

On the other hand, my biggest Geo point is he has to be scoring to be playing. So this is a good sign.

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

Mulcahy started the run, with an in rhythm, no hesitating, let it rip 3 pointer and closed the half with a big, big basket.....if he plays well, RU plays well. That 3 starting the run was the game changer....

 

[FRA10Thunderbolt]

we’ll probably see both again

This team has it in them, why can’t we see the team we saw I. The last ten minutes all the time?

 

[RUsojo]

Please stop. We have seen this lineup before and Ron has the same amount of 3s tonight as he has had over past 8 games. Tonight he is 2-3 over last 8 games he is 2-32.

We haven’t seen this line up consistently in months

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Down 7-4 foul calls. Please, please don’t drain me in the 2nd half. We have been suffering for decades with this program.

Welcome to the official game thread ethos. Has always been very bipolar.

I guess, when people‘s parents taught them “when you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all“, a few of our fans might not have been fully paying attention.

 

[Knightmoves]

Only 1 FT in first half?

 

[RU848789]

Exactly. We may not agree on COVID, lol, but 110% agree with this post. Make shots and everything is easy, miss them and the coaches, the rotations, the Twitter, the everything is to blame...but not the shooters.
