    Time Out

    It's coach speak. I am mad at him for the losses, but who cares if he said "best team ever."

    OT: Oregon vs Saint Mary's

    It's almost like the team Rutgers fielded the last two seasons was greater than the sum of its parts. Who would've thought.

    Epic Turnaround

    Obvously, R32 is a great season for a program that hasn't been to the NCAA tournament in 30 years. Have to believe that last season's cancelled tournament hurt these guys having the mental resilience and poise to hold it together down the stretch in what would have and should have been a big...

    Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Illinois

    Illinois players didn't even react to what Paul said. [roll]Trash call.

    Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Illinois

    I am in disbelief that there are folks defending the refs making that call against a team you purportedly root for. Yeah Rutgers has sucked but siding with B1G refs over your guy getting fired up is sad.

    Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Illinois

    I'm not blaming the refs, we'd still be losing - but call a fair game and it's not over at halftime. We shot pretty well, aside from 3PA. Illinois shot 16 FTs to RU 3. When one team is allowed to play beyond physical and the other gets called for ticky-tack it changes everything, even if early...

    Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Illinois

    Game was immediately mucked up. Hard to defend with Johnson and Cliff on the bench for touch fouls and an Illinois march to the line while Cockburn throws elbows. Not that chucked 3s help, but RU was shooting 50-60% despite being 0-5 from 3 at one point - but the possession mismatch and Duke...

    What would you take, B10 Tourny or Sweet 16 visit?

    BTT is not as big as the regular season - I'd take Sweet 16 in a heartbeat. BTT has gotten a little bit more "prestigious" lately but it used to be you didn't run your guys into the ground unless you needed the bid or quality wins.

    MSU up 35 with under 5 to go and starters in.

    He played 26 minutes. That's really not excessive. He sat most of the second half. He was also out there with backup PG Loyer, getting Loyer confidence in his shot is huge for MSU, since if you can put him and Winston on the floor together it's huge. Winston came out at 4:40. Loyer was out there...

    MSU up 35 with under 5 to go and starters in.

    Also there was a ridiculous T called on MSU before they started an insane run. (The one on Marble, not on Izzo). So if there was anything meant by leaving his starters in a bit longer than usual, it was to the refs. Of course he's "no angel." And Winston played 26 minutes, not exactly trotting...

    MSU up 35 with under 5 to go and starters in.

    Izzo is generally pretty quick to pull his starters. In fact, he does it too early once in awhile.

    look at this horsesh*t from the Minny board

    I mean, when Michigan State landed Branden Dawson, Painter's daughter wished death (or at least that he was hit by a car) upon him. Purdue fans are still upset about Dawson going to MSU. When you're relevant, you're not well liked. Take it as a compliment.
