Looks like will be by far the smallest crowd of the season

 

[bac2therac]

Is it just me but are the twitter links not viewable without clicking the tweet. Noticed this past 2 days. Is it a site issue or twitter issue or a Bac issue

 

[Bobbynieds]

I noticed it today, the first time with the links....was in full panic mode, but found game on btn+

 

[bac2therac]

Omg LIU is tiny

 

[zappaa]

Why the stoppage

 

[Bobbynieds]

We should win the Rebound battle

 

[ScarletteK80]

Nice, smooth hook shot b y Griffiths.

 

[bac2therac]

LIU Coach burning 2 timeouts in 30 seconds

Mercy rule please

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Good grief is LIU horrendous

 

[bac2therac]

Even at lowest attendance still plus 5500 here so thats good to see

 

[bac2therac]

Loving Griffiths this game

 

[Bobbynieds]

GG had an ally ooop early that CLiff missed.
He seems to have good post feeds

 

[bac2therac]

Still not finishing blike we should

Should be 30-8

 

[zappaa]

6-2 guard for LIU with 5 rebounds

 

[bac2therac]

Ton of bricks by both teams

 

[Joey Bags]

WTF is with us shooting freethrows at the rac

 

[bac2therac]

Free throw shooting abomination

 

[bac2therac]

Palmquist is terrible

 

[dudehimself3]

Palmquist is terrible

Hilariously bad

 

[bac2therac]

Very unimpressed

 

[Bobbynieds]

Palmq just lets the guard inside of him to grab rebound

 

[zebnatto]

Run these bums outta the gym!

 

[dudehimself3]

Who has worse hands Cliff, Oskar or Hyatt?

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Palmquist is terrible

LIU has exposed him.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

We should be up 30+

 

[bac2therac]

We should be up 30+

Yup really speaks to how offensively challenged some of our players are

Whether its free throws, missing dunks, or continually hitting the back of the rim...cannot put lipstick on a pig

 

[bac2therac]

Ill tell you what LIU should be going into half with a real belief they can win (not that they will but Rutgers has left the door open with uninspired play)

41-30

 

[zebnatto]

41-30

41 is acceptable; 30 is not. I'd take 41-22.

 

[Corycord1]

Bad transition defense, ridiculously bad FT shooting. LIU is awful. Stop playing these games. How do you get up for the 1-8 LIU Sharks? Only bad things can come from games like this in December.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Very frustrating to watch them struggle against LIU, as others have said. No excuse.

 

[bac2therac]

Indiana up 40-32 over #2 Kansas while we look bad vs one of the worst schools un D1

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

5-13 FTs inexcusable

 

[ScarletteK80]

Ill tell you what LIU should be going into half with a real belief they can win (not that they will but Rutgers has left the door open with uninspired play)

41-30

bac is spot on. "Uninspired" is way to nice of a word

 

[bac2therac]

And basically its Cliff bailing RU out

Cliff having a monster game but its disappointing we have to go to him to put seperation between us and LIU

The defense was particular poor the last 5-6 minutes

 

[jvgrad02]

What channel is it on?

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Indiana is playing Kansas, Michigan State is playing Baylor, Purdue is playing Arizona, Penn State is playing Ga Tech, Ohio State is playing UCLA…and we’re playing LIU..at home…LOL.

 

[bac2therac]

bac is spot on. "Uninspired" is way to nice of a word

I think RU isnt respecting their opposition. I dont think RU is in real danger of losing but they also can't just think they can press their way to a win and create turnovers as their only defense

If you are going to schedule a bunch of 350 ranked type schools instead of power 6 schools you better wipe the floor with them

 

[bac2therac]

So J Mike is struggling a bit today

Would like to see him build off that SHU game
