Basketball GAME THREAD: RHoops vs. 23 Ohio State

[richthedentist]

Oh my god the guy traveled and then Harper gets mauled and no foul

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Duke has done what was needed.....play low post defense. A few mistakes. He has not been horrible.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

I mean you have to be flipping kidding me refs

 

[CERU00]

Refs been ok other than that charge on Young imo

You're insane if you believe that.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Doucore is awful. Try Reiber out.

I think Reiber would get eaten alive. At least Doucoure has some girth.

 

[biazza38]

The refs are brutal, period

 

[RU848789]

I'll take up 10 at the half on the road against #23. Anyone else?

 

[Ronnie_B]

Why not see what a smaller lineup would be like, I mean go Young-Geo-Harper-Tez-Paul and see what happens.

 

[bac2therac]

halftime 38-28....solidly dominated...Myles with the fouls is the issue and they will attack him and Doucoure but if RU can keep generating and answering on offense, I am confident

 

[richthedentist]

I will take this lead with absolutely no Myles and the absolute horses-t calls by the refs the whole first half

 

[zebnatto]

No Cliff, on road, Myles on bench, refs terrible, on road, vs top 25 team—up 10. Win this!

 

[Ronnie_B]

I'll take up 10 at the half on the road against #23. Anyone else?

Oh yeah, but there is a part of you that knows it should be +15....its kinda cool.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Tremendo

I'll take up 10 at the half on the road against #23. Anyone else?

Count me in.

I’m concerned about Myles, but with Cliff playing today we win this game by 20 or more. Makes me very happy to watch

 

[MCKnight]

Docoure May play twenty plus minutes today and not record a rebound or blocked shot, at his size, lol he has no nose for the ball or court awareness at all

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Doucore is awful. Try Reiber out.

You really think Reiber is gonna bang down low with Liddle? Clueless if you do.

 

[Woody522]

Reiber too skinny.

He may get bullied but won't be absolutely clueless inside the white lines

 

[carmenst]

We’re clearly the better team. Nice to go into halftime with a 10 point lead. May need to play small ball and fast transition game if Duke and MJ continue to draw fouls.

 

[cyrock3]

The Buckeyes are getting away with murder out there, and at first the refs weren't calling fouls.

However, in the last 10 minutes they went into overdrive to make up for **** like they had a quota to hit.

It's bs.

 

[koleszar]

I thought Myles was starting to get the Luke Garza respect, I guess not yet.

 

[leftoright]

Tatoo man assaulted Harper ...6 months in jail

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

As someone who doesn’t follow the program as closely anymore, the superlatives and descriptors used for the team make me think I’m in an alternate universe. Please keep it up.

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

Considering Myles has three fouls great half. Up 10 on the road. Not a lot to complain about

 

[NickKnight 1]

I'll take up 10 at the half on the road against #23. Anyone else?

I have never been so happy for
over time now I can take a breath.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

I thought Myles was starting to get the Luke Garza respect, I guess not yet.

Sometimes you just have to let the guy score and come back to fight another day. That 3rd foul was legit.

 

[Scangg]

I think Reiber would get eaten alive. At least Doucoure has some girth.

That was a sound pregame theory. Doucoure is as well might as well give him a few minutes and see at this point

 

[shields]

Washington needs to get 4 foul fast.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

He may get bullied but won't be absolutely clueless inside the white lines

Duke banged with Liddle... Several times he turned him away in paint.

 

[anon_xekqhstck0ygt]

RU takes it strong with no calls, Johnson gets a BS offensive foul, and OSU gets touched and its a foul...

these refs are awful....

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

WHY in the world is Johnson back in??

 

[koleszar]

Sometimes you just have to let the guy score and come back to fight another day. That 3rd foul was legit.

The last one yes, the one earlier, ehhhh, which helped get him to 3.

 

[carmenst]

I'll take up 10 at the half on the road against #23. Anyone else?

Sign me up . Also keeping OSU under 30 points.

 

[rubaseball78_rivals]

I will take this lead with absolutely no Myles and the absolute horses-t calls by the refs the whole first half

Myles did foul on 3rd foul but elbow to his chest should have been called first.

 

[BOCA93]

Seriously miss Cliff’s rebounding today. Duke seems to never be near the ball on the boards

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

We are leading by 10, 4 vs 5 for most of the first half 0 from the 5, @ 6-1 23 tOSU, a team we are 0-5 at all time. All I read is how bad Doucoure was or the Refs are. How about great first half despite 2 guys injured. Sheesh.

 

[Ronnie_B]

Who ever the guy is on the right on the halftime show, you might cream in your pants if you just heard what he said. Sorry in advance.

 

[Mikemarc]

Doubt RU shoots as well this next half. And think OSU shoots better.

Gonna be a tough half

 

[RUfanSinceAnderson]

Why not see what a smaller lineup would be like, I mean go Young-Geo-Harper-Tez-Paul and see what happens.

They are killing us inside with dunks. It would be worse.

 

[Woody522]

Duke banged with Liddle... Several times he turned him away in paint.

So 2 possession he did his job and 25 possessions he was lost

 

[BEERMAN26]

Love the comment "When Rutgers goes to the hoop, they have some grown *** men". FYI, I inserted the *** in there.
