Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Michigan State at MSG

[SBP]

Why is Simpson in??!!

 

[anon1753890747]

Simpson hurting us on both ends

 

[FIJI'83]

No foul call on Cliff

 

[zebnatto]

Offense is so stagnant.

 

[G- RUnit]

At 8 minute mark shooting 21% Bad bad idea

 

[biazza38]

Cliff got away with that one
Expect the refs to tighten up now

 

[greenknight]

How was there no foul Holy moly

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Well that was a foul

 

[Scangg]

Nice entry pass from Simpson

 

[RuBird]

Home court no foul call

 

[RU848789]

No whining about not getting fouls after Cliff didn't get a foul on that drive - clear foul on him

 

[RU-Kidding]

Hope everyone bet the UNDER

May be the lowest scoring half of the shot clock era-lol

 

[BillyC80]

How is that not a foul on Cliff?

 

[koleszar]

OMG McConnell's shot is so bad. Wide open 8' jumper and nothing.

 

[zappaa]

Stop letting them get to the rim

 

[greenknight]

PM & CM need to make shots they are getting good looks

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Brick city =

 

[bac2therac]

Just a horrific offense

Peeps said we wouldnt shoot poorly again

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Sloooooowwwww start for both teams...

 

[Knightmoves]

We can’t make anything except Catch and Dunk

 

[zappaa]

PM & CM need to make shots they are getting good looks

PM hasn’t had a look yet

 

[RUTrack94]

Refs letting them play … early intuition is MSU wins this one … this game has the same vibes as SHU.

 

[kt124]

i think pike needs to start badgering refs just a little bit more for us to get the izzo/mccaffrey treatment

 

[FIJI'83]

What made us so mad at the rim that we want to assault it by repeatedly banging a basketball against it

 

[mildone_rivals]

Refs letting ‘em foul the crap out of each other. They will start calling more. Hope our guys sense it and stop fouling before their guys do.

 

[zebnatto]

Paul seems to have become MORE unwilling to shoot.

 

[Plum Street]

How is that not a foul on Cliff?

I though that too.
But we will take it

 

[RU848789]

They're 5-16 and we're 4-20. Yikes.

 

[anon1753890747]

PM & CM need to make shots they are getting good looks

PM is getting smothered defensively! He has no uncontested looks, from what I can see

 

[RutgersNo1]

Hope this doesn’t become the seton hall game 2.0

 

[greenknight]

PM hasn’t had a look yet

Hes had a couple looks within 5 ft. Cant throw and airball on a 5ft fade away

 

[bac2therac]

Izzo complaining constantly

**** him

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

4-20, 1-7. Why did I look

 

[biazza38]

Refs letting them play … early intuition is MSU wins this one … this game has the same vibes as SHU.

Refs are going to tighten it up

 

[rob kight]

We should be up by 10. Also Hyatt so far a no show on both ends.
Refs wearing blinders so far.

 

[zappaa]

We haven’t been able to drive to the hoop yet without getting stuffed

 

[RU848789]

i think pike needs to start badgering refs just a little bit more for us to get the izzo/mccaffrey treatment

You are kidding right? 3 fouls on them and 2 on us, with a blatant foul on Cliff not called.

 

[SBP]

Well, the difference between two excellent defensive teams is we KNOW MSU is not offensively challenged, they have scorers. So, if they start getting hot we are in for a long afternoon. We need Cam in and scoring!

 

[greenknight]

I'd try to switch to a 5 out to open up the middle with dribble drives, dribble drive kicks

 

[biazza38]

MAG!!!!!
