    Worst win in Rutgers basketball history

    The silence from the crowd, while leaving the RAC, was as if we had lost. But let’s find the silver lining. Cliff, paced himself by not getting any rebounds last game, so he would have the energy to shoot the lights out from the foul line late in this game. He obviously knew what he was doing.

    Rutgers basketball getting raw deal against Michigan State? Big Ten responds

    I think the novelty of Rutgers taking up 2/3 of MSG is a good thing, every 2-3 years. I get that there’s a disadvantage, but I think it’s slight and outweighed by the benefits. Plus, it’s just one more thing to help raise the profile of Rutgers. BUT…for all those concerned about Rutgers...

    RAC Green Lot Parking Question

    Good luck, it’s hit or miss with the security guards and parking lot attendants. Everybody’s usually nice, but some are very helpful and some follow the letter of the rule, which is to not let you do what common sense says you should be able to do. The handicap drop off is a discrace. They...

    2023 Basketball Spotlight: McEachern 5-Star Airious "Ace" Bailey

    Comes across as a nice, humble, good guy. But he also has a fire in his belly. Certainly a Pike kind of guy.

    Holtman taunted Caleb

    I like to see the positive side of things. So I'm going to assume that Holtman went over to Caleb to be social. If you read his lips, I think Holtman said, "Hey, ya know we have a lot in common. For example, we will both be gone next year!"

    GAME 18 OHIO STATE: MAG- NIF-NSYNC

    "Last but not least...Cam Spencer...team high 21 points, so many key plays, boards, steals, shots. Just a sick line...21 points, 9-11 ft, 7 boards, 6 assists, 4 steals and one turnover" Hmmm, looked like a pretty shaky game for Cam. He missed twice as many foul shots today as all season. And...

    Mawot Defense

    Also, when Maryland and other teams successfully break the press they take almost 10 seconds to do it, so now they’re a little tight on time and maybe a little flustered having already expended some effort just to get over half court. A lot of good things accrue from that press even when it...

    Game Thread: Rutgers Men's Basketball Takes on No. 1 Purdue Monday Night

    What a ref would say... When you inbound the ball, under your opponent's basket, the ref will tell you either 1) you can run the line or 2) that's your spot. But a ref should not say you can't move, because you can. You can move backwards, as far as you want or are able to. And you can move...

    Myles Johnson

    I was sorry he left, but the silver lining is that Cliff developed more quickly. In a warped and unexpected way, Myles leaving may have helped Rutgers, by getting Cliff more experience, much sooner than he would have, if Myles was here. Please don't take this as a dis to Myles. I thought his...

    Woolfolk 13 mins, Reiber 2 mins. Is this the future?

    I like Reiber, but I believe Woolfolk has more upside. I was expecting Wolf to look a bit raw to start the season, but I didn't see that as much as I expected, which is really impressive, given his limited experience. Since I expect him to keep improving, I think it's a no-brainer to get Wolf...

    5 out of next 7 at the RAC

    OSU II seems like a trap. Kinda like 2 years ago where the refs took over the game in Columbus and we circled the rematch on the calendar, only to get boat raced at the RAC. I don't think the OSU loss cost the team the SHU game - I think if anything mental, it was the unusual pressure of being...

    OFFICIAL NET Thread - 2022/23

    There is an unaddressed shifting parameter effect as teams evolve over the course of a season, but it'll never be added to the formula for like 5 very good reasons. Don't think a credible ranking of Temple circa 11/18 would help us much, either. That is a pretty bad team
