Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Iowa

[RUBeta]

Mag and simpson score more points for the other team

Agree. If either of them has the ball in transition they always are out of control and taking it to the basket against multiple defenders.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

6/15 on layups.

 

[Plum Street]

Bad half. Might just be one of those days

 

[anon1753890747]

Don't see fire coming out of coach

Maybe he is tired from being up all night negotiating his new contract with Texas

 

[koleszar]

Cam should have stayed in game with 2...bad move by Pike and he had Cliff out
.critical...

Turning point in the comeback and lead directly to them blowing the lead back up. Completely changed the momentum and complexion of the game at the time. Everyone doesn't need a participation trophy Pike.

 

[Joey Bags]

I mean you hope, and then RU reality kicks in. Brutal

Lol gimme a break this team is still in the hunt. It’s a potential home loss. It’s going to happen eventually.

Dean got beat on a simple drive to the basket. He trailed him on his hip instead of just beating him to the spot. Basketball 101 take the spot player wants get to away from hin. Make him go option 2. Instead he stays on hip picks up the terrible and 1 foul. College basketball have to be better than that. He hot yanked out less than a minute later

I seriously don't understand all the calls for Dean to be in. Are people seeing what's happening on the floor? He is a minutes and fouls guy at best - he is a role player PERIOD who has some significant flaws. There is a reason he gets limited minutes.

 

[greenknight]

Tired legs must be a factor here.

No Iowa has us playing their fast paced up and down game. We are taking out of control ****** shots on the other end. DS needs to play under control

 

[tfio]

Can’t believe how absolutely lost we still look on every fast break opportunity

 

[bac2therac]

Mulchahy 0-5 and not even close is a problem

 

[shields]

Simpson just terrible.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Pikes a v. Good halftime coach. Let's see I just wish he stopped this earlier.

 

[bac2therac]

THE RAC IS FREEZING COLD...PUT THE HEAT ON PLEASE

Type of game you have to win at home to win the league.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

That half was simply Sandra Bernhardt ugly. And it feels like a long road back with the offensive deficiencies.

This

 

[Saint Puppy]

Id sit him the 2nd half. Hes playing like its pick up ball

We could really use his energy today, but man somebody really needs to talk to him about letting the game come to him and playing smart. He is flat out out of control at times. Really need to reign in him somehow.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

That's the RU shooting that's causing it.

You play great D get a turnover you MUST convert on the other end. You CANNOT take out of control shot. If it's not there pull up and maybe you hit an open trailer going down the key. Just throwing up a prayer just ruined great defense

 

[greenknight]

Cliff O not rebounding for **** doesnt help.

 

[RUTrack94]

At least there’s wrestling at 2PM … Iowa loses to PSU finding its groove in the 2nd half … finds its groove vs Indy, then is manhandling RU on Rutgers home court.

To think RU won 48-46 last year. And gave up 42 so far.

Still have 20 minutes to turn it around. Maybe Pike chews them out and they come out on fire, or get blown out even worse.

In the past RU craps the first game after being ranked, or needs one more to be ranked, or is in a tourney game.

Great to be .500 or better. And making the NCAA. Got over those milestones. When (and if) will RU get a win when ranked, or make a tourney run?

 

[bac2therac]

Chip chip chip away...get it 2 possessions and we got the crowd going nuts

 

[leftoright]

Who's colder you or the team?

 

[Joey Bags]

Need to hold Iowa to under 30 this half to have a shot.

 

[jkernpop]

If there will be a comeback. Paulie program will need to be huge leading the charge this half!

 

[RUforJERSEY]

One more thing. Anytime they double Cliff its a disaster waiting to happen. He either forces the ball up anyway or throws the ball away.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Mulchahy 0-5 and not even close is a problem

I assume the shoulder is still a problem so I’ve written off 3s, but the layup looks were alarming

 

[Saint Puppy]

We can definitely still do this....work off our D and be smart!

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Cam 2-3 from 3. Everyone else 0-6.

Shooters, shooters, shooters.

 

[rob kight]

The 3 shot foul call was the turning point. Looked like Wolf never touched him and then fake flop. Still don’t know why he was out 30 feet from the basket.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Fran chuckling with his good pal the ref. Forget it

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Perkins walked twice. Result 3

 

[koleszar]

Team is completely confused today. Go back to your dorms a loser and get your heads out of your asses.

 

[Saint Puppy]

Terrible pass by Mag

 

[bac2therac]

Pathetic

 

[bac2therac]

Unprepared and out coached

 

[Saint Puppy]

Cliff just shot a shot-put - SMH!

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

PM give up the 3. Cam only one I’m interested shooting it

 

[Rutgers25]

Iowa always seemed to be well prepared vs us.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Iowa getting any shot they want
