Basketball Francis, second-half defense powers Rutgers to Big Ten Tournament win

[Mr. Magoo1]

Minny is definitely well coached.

It would be ok if we were too

 

[fatsam98]

Annoying game.

Can anyone other than Francis hit a damn shot?

Seemed like we had a plan to attack them which quickly went to hell with poor execution and decision making

Just frustrating. Being only down 2 seems like fools gold

 

[BillyC80]

I’d like to see us press them right out the gate to start the second half. Make them uncomfortable.

 

[Bob Chaewsky_rivals]

He's a fvxking moron. He decides to play Denis first sub after playing nothing last 10 ganes and put two ero turnover guys in together . Z hasn't played much either.
I dont care how much NIL he gets. he's a dope. Where's Nwuli?where's the team who's played the last 7 games?

I've been saying a couple years that he's not too bright.

 

[mugrat86]

Not sure how Minnesota is able to run so much motion and only play 6 guys. We should hire their strength and conditioning coach

 

[shields]

Get number 3 on Grove. Chris is hurt. DHajek.

 

[RU848789]

Ok..but he came back in minutes later. Wow. Crap.

Nwuli hasn't been in at all - just saw the Fonseca pic with him in the boot...

 

[DHajekRC1984]

Grant performance this season has been very disappointing.

He'll be back v k and we'll waste $$$ on him. Already penciled in as starter im. Sure. coach is blindly loyal to our demise.

Dinosaur.

I've been saying a couple years that he's not too bright.

I was wrong on Chris cause I didn't realize he was out but the rest? Wtf..

 

[tru2ru1]

NweliWTF is he bringing Badalau in for?

WTF is he bringing Badalau in for?

Dortch with ankle sprain as well as Nweli & Buchanan in foul trouble

 

[Bob Chaewsky_rivals]

Gotta hand it to Minny. It runs the perfect offense to get layups and open threes.

You don't have to run a great offense to get those shots against us.

 

[80RU]

Listening to those guys talk about Minnesota at halftime you would think they were up by 20. RU has one fewer assist on as many field goals, and somehow that is not worth mentioning when they went on and on about Minnesota.

 

[BillyC80]

Tariq is amazing. I’d like to see him shoot those open treys instead of throwing a head fake and putting it on the floor. Passing up too many good looks.

 

[Bob Chaewsky_rivals]

He wants a million

Triple LOL!

 

[Rutgers25]

This can get out of hand in 2nd half. Minny clearly better coached. Only chance is if we turn up the dial and press aggressively

 

[koleszar]

I’d like to see us press them right out the gate to start the second half. Make them uncomfortable.

We pressed once in the 1st half, they had trouble inbounding, then got the ball over half court with 22 seconds on the shot clock. It sped them up and they missed. Of course Pike never went back to it.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

You don't have to run a great offense to get those shots against us.

They do it vs. all their opponents. There's a reason they have three top 25 wins and a win over UCLA.

 

[Bob Chaewsky_rivals]

Grant looks like has zero confidence. Attacks the basket like he hopes he doesn’t miss instead of trying to make the shot. He’s a mess right now

Maybe no confidence, definitely limited ability.

 

[BillyC80]

Minny has tall guys with good hands who can all dribble, pass and shoot, while executing an excellent motion offense.

 

[BillyC80]

Another fortunate Durkin miss.

 

[RU#1fan]

Ridiculous substitutions

Brilliant Pike !

 

[BillyC80]

Manny playing tough inside

 

[RUDiddy777]

Tyson. ****!

 

[BillyC80]

Dammit! Good D for 29 seconds, leads to a trey

 

[RUgal]

Dammit! Good D for 29 seconds, leads to a trey

It’s more fun when Francis makes that shot!

 

[RUDiddy777]

Dammit! Good D for 29 seconds, leads to a trey

Tyson gets going, I’m going to bed.

Dumbest Coach in the B1G.Only 2 more years of this Mickey Mouse Coach.

 

[RUDiddy777]

Oh no. Ogbole…

 

[bac2therac]

Ouch

 

[RU848789]

That's flagrant, no doubt.

 

[BillyC80]

Minnesota uses so much clock on every possession. I think that helps us, cause they can otherwise get high percentage shots at will.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Definitely unintentional but I guess the rules are anything above the shoulders by definition.

 

[tm_nj]

you can’t call a flagrant foul just because Manny is strong

 

[Rokodesh]

Ogbole trying to kill a gopher

Can you two get a room? Some of us are trying to watch the game.

 

[Bob Chaewsky_rivals]

You had a couple of days to prepare for this zone and this is what you came up with?

 

[RUgal]

He swung an elbow.

 

[fatsam98]

Shake shack!!!

 

[RUDiddy777]

Manny being Manny

Lol, perfectly said.

 

[koleszar]

Well at least he hit the right kid.
