Getting it started early today

 

[Scangg]

Bardo struggling with Omoruyi since he sadly hasn't called a Rutgers game this season I don't think. He loved Rutgers last year and had an epic rant about Myles Johnson getting screwed by the refs.

Excited to hear him call the game tonight. If they get a bad home whistle bc of suspensions, he has the balls to call it out

 

[bac2therac]

Shock the World!

 

[Scangg]

Johns confirmed starting for Diabate

 

[IL Lusciato]

I'm nervous about this one.

Michigan is af home and angry and looking to reset the conversation, plus get revenge on a program they've owned.

A loss does not end our Tourney hopes, but hurts our momentum and perception. Can change that back by taking 2 more games. But would like to win this one, as Wisconsin is no gimme at all.

Let's hope we come out with a W.

 

[Scangg]

Studio analysts all loving Cliff and likes Rutgers matchup scoring inside. Michigan is apparently very lowly ranked in 2 point defense

Johns confirmed starting for Diabate

I recall him killing us at MSG...

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

Nervous right now. Need a good start.

 

[RU848789]

If we can't get up for this game, we can't get up for any game - c'mon guys do it!!

 

[Scangg]

I see a lot of empty seasons... fans maybe still piling in

 

[koleszar]

That was a quick dunk and then foul.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Here we go.

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

Foul already

 

[RU848789]

Cliff! And of course a foul.

 

[bac2therac]

Please dont fooul in the first 20 seconds

 

[GM]

Nice little play, Cliff gets his obligatory basket on the first possession

 

[Scangg]

B1G Cliff. Statement dunk to immediately quiet the crowd.

Pike can coach

 

[Morrischiano2]

LOTS OF EMPTY SEATS

 

[CranfordKnight]

I see a lot of empty seasons... fans maybe still piling in

There were thousands of tickets available for this game. $2 seats galore.

 

[FIJI'83]

Bad no call

 

[bethlehemfan]

Mulcahy was fouled lol.

 

[Scangg]

They get bump call. Paul doesn't get bump call

 

[koleszar]

What in the hell with that pass McConnell?

 

[anon1753890747]

Place is empty

 

[bac2therac]

Silly fn turnover

 

[bitnez]

Where is everyone? Arena is dead

 

[Scangg]

There were thousands of tickets available for this game. $2 seats galore.

So much for fans rallying behind Howard

 

[RU848789]

These announcers don't even know that we were going to be in the tourney 2 years ago

 

[FIJI'83]

Another no call

 

[shields]

Caleb throws some bad passes.

 

[Scangg]

All freaking day Paul

 

[koleszar]

Harper learning from Paul.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

McConnell starting out sloppy c'mon

 

[rob kight]

Caleb should not be brining ball up. 2 bad plays

 

[Scangg]

Ron doing his Pauly Pivot impression!

 

[NickRU714]

Come on Paul.
Left hand for a left side layup.

 

[bac2therac]

Our offense isnt looking good

 

[bac2therac]

Move the ball

 

[RUJMM78]

Poor shooting by Rutgers
