Basketball GAME THREAD: Indiana Hoops vs. Rutgers

[Shell21]

I do like the little pistol action with jy going left . He turned it over but thats the first time I’ve seen it this year. A good play with JYs speed

 

[RUby RED]

JY defense so far - invaluable
JY offense so far - pitiful

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

Guys relax JY feeling good. Take the good with the bad as the good is much better. He plays much better playing loose.

I don’t agree with the shot but not to upset. Happy to be up 1 and having fun

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers leads 33-32 half time.The impact of the 3 point shot can't be under stated.

 

[Scarlet4ever]

Need to get the defense squared away and we will walk away with this

 

[RutgersLifeR]

Nice to see that charge call on Indiana. Also Jacob shooting from Stephen Curry range.

In all seriousness, with the way we were shooting and all of the crazy calls by the refs, I'll take being up one at halftime!!

Time for a good luck Jameson shot for the team.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Young‘s heart and intensity is crucial to our success. But I hope, in the second half, he channels it a bit better, into more of an ice-man intensity than an angry 40’ shot intensity.

if he can bring more of what he brought the last couple minutes of regulation and all of OT in the last game, we will win.

 

[RUBlackout]

I think JY was like F it...we have been hitting buckets so let’s give it a shot

 

[Joey Bags]

Bout it

 

[bac2therac]

cutting back on turnovers was huge and we stopped fouling...stats are really even but we have a couple more 3s

 

[theRU]

Are they pronouncing Cliff's name right?

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

cutting back on turnovers was huge and we stopped fouling...stats are really even but we have a couple more 3s

we had 3 fake t/o's on bad out-of-bounds calls by refs

 

[bac2therac]

Pike needs to realize who needs to be in and who doesnt

no Mathis unless we are up 15.

Play your starters with Cliff subbed in and a Caleb a few minutes for Paul

 

[Big boy stan]

Stats are evening out but the two blown calls make it look worse then it is.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Are they pronouncing Cliff's name right?

Probably not

When Myles get rebound under basket he needs To go back up not throw it out. Either he scores or gets fouled by Davis or both. We could have Davis in foul trouble.

 

[shields]

Think i was wrong, Harper might be a point or two away. Good comeback.

 

[soundcrib]

Jacob young thinks hes dame dollar

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Went away from Ron at end of half for whatever reason

 

[leftoright]

Are they pronouncing Cliff's name right?

No. BIG ten announcers have to come to an agreement but doesn't accommodate Cliff's family, Im sure.

 

[bac2therac]

Thompson has two fouls...no surprise after his 2nd, RU went on that run..key to continue to keep him on the bench in foul trouble

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

After the TO where we started doing well.. our first offense kept the ball in the middle top.. guys were moving around.. but the ball stayed in one spot... the weave thing.. we did score.. but the second is what I think works better for us.. the ball moving around the outside.. AND players switching sides.. diving to the hoop.

 

[leftoright]

Enemies are afraid of running at Young.

 

[Jtung230]

Less Paul Mulcahy in the 2nd half.

 

[Hamilton's Cannon]

I said it before and I’ll say it again - love JY but he should be taken out the last minute of every first half.

 

[RUTrack94]

It was 26-17 ... I took a bio break, got the mail, looked at the mail ... came back and RU was down by one. Wow

 

[theRU]

Lol- I feel bad. I was like who the hell is Omoreeyay

 

[Jtung230]

It was 26-17 ... I took a bio break, got the email, looked at the mail ... came back and RU was down by one. Wow

Take more breaks

I hear what you’re saying and I get it. But our players are hot and cold a lot in games. Not just shooting, but intensity-wise. So it’s rarely as simple as playing the “best” players because the definition of “best”, for us at least, is a pretty fluid thing.

 

[RUsojo]

If we push the tempo we win

 

[bac2therac]

Less Paul Mulcahy in the 2nd half.

we only play 8...Cliff cant play for Paul...Mathis was brutal in a few minutes so Paul will play alot along with Caleb

 

[RUBlackout]

We need to take it into the paint and pump fake and get fouled or just take it at them strong. Harper looks GREAT doing that

we really dont have much of a bench if you think about it.

Yes yes a million times yes

 

[Hamilton's Cannon]

Less Paul Mulcahy in the 2nd half.

Disagree but I hope he plays better. Mc Connell hasn’t done much and Montez hasn’t done a lot but foul. But hopefully they all - and the whole team - plays better

 

[mildone_rivals]

If we push the tempo we win

That means we need to create turnovers and dominate rebounding. Can’t push the tempo otherwise.

So... since rebounding and creating turnovers usually means winning, I’m all in on pushing the tempo.

 

[koko2315]

my switch to rum was clearly the key...

 

[DHajekRC84]

If we push the tempo we win

Its a transition offense. Fed by great defense and rebounding. I'd like to see that pressure D coach played 2nd half vs. Minny.

 

[RUTRINI_rivals]

Can't have scoring lulls in the 2nd half. First to 70 wins this one.

 

[bac2therac]

Paul has a bucket, 3 boards and 2 assists, he isnt playing bad at all
