Basketball Rutgers Basketball blitzes Penn State early, wins second straight

[BillyC80]

If I’m Pike I’m imploring our guys to stay locked in and insist that they win the second half.

The minute you let up you crack open the door. It should be slammed shut and hermetically sealed!

 

[RUDivision]

Great first half! Finish strong

 

[rob kight]

I believe they said this is the biggest halftime lead in Pikiel’s time! And this is the lowest Penn State scoring this year!

 

[PhillyRU]

Remind me why they fired that bald guy before Shrewsbury?

Pat Chambers, it was off-court stuff that I don't think was made super clear. Given the recent history at FGCU, he's not exactly killing it down there

 

[BillyC80]

Wow. RU is rolling. Francis a special player. Maybe better than Bailey and Harper!

Especially if he stays and we have a winning season next year.

biggest halftime lead in the Big Ten ever. Surprised the Geo, RHJ teams never did that

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Does anyone have that uneasy feeling that we blow this?

Thats the one..something unsavory happened but dont remember what

Surprisingly no

 

[RU MAN]

Being a lifelong Rutgers fan, OF COURSE I DO!

 

[Kbe4]

Being a lifelong Rutgers fan, OF COURSE I DO!

I thought about not posting it, but I will....Anyone smell overtime ?

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Gotta keep it up... we were down 19 in second half in Crappy Valley in 2023 then rallied for a 59-56 victory

 

[Bob Chaewsky_rivals]

I thought at the beginning of the year that our record would be better than last years - still got a shot, though not likely.

 

[Bob Chaewsky_rivals]

Wow. RU is rolling. Francis a special player. Maybe better than Bailey and Harper!

Nope.

 

[80RU]

When are we going to decide not to try that lob anymore – –

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Here we go

 

[bac2therac]

Penn State somehow up to 50% shooting

13-26 but 0-8 from 3

 

[Bob Chaewsky_rivals]

A lot less ISO ball - a lot.

 

[80RU]

PSU suddenly has hit a couple of shots and had a couple of breaks. Let’s see if the intensity comes back.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

If that's a hook and hold it's on PSU clearly

 

[Simce91]

RU unaccustomed to playing with a big lead and it shows

 

[rob kight]

“TumsTime”

 

[bac2therac]

If that's a hook and hold it's on PSU clearly

Good call

Big swing at a key juncture

 

[koleszar]

Best passing and unselfish play I've seen in a long time.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Hook and hold was humongous momentum changer

 

[BillyC80]

Powers a great passer

 

[koleszar]

Best passing and unselfish play I've seen in a long time.

Just as I say it we go back to stupid sh*t.

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

We got a game boys

 

[BillyC80]

Danger zone

 

[Simce91]

Nothing good happens when Buchanon starts dribbling

 

[RUgal]

Time to put the starters back in.

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Gonna be a nail biter come 7 minutes

 

[Bob Chaewsky_rivals]

As soon as I said a lot less Iso ball we stopped moving the all.

 

[BillyC80]

Key bucket by Lino!

 

[RUDiddy777]

Nice touch there Lino.

 

[runner3283]

Get JMike out and put in Francis!!

 

[Degaz-RU]

Time to put Francis back in the game.

 

[RUDiddy777]

Powers a great passer

Still thinking about that slick one to Ogbole for the easy slam on Sunday.

 

[BillyC80]

PSU was bound to have a run of some kind. Keep the lead at 10 or more and let them foul Tariq.
