Game Thread- RU v Iowa

[RUtrumpet92_rivals498139]

How to not run the last 30 seconds of a game with a three point lead.

 

[bac2therac]

No one to blame but themselves

Defense was bad the the last 3 Iowa possessions

 

[hoquat63]

OT

 

[RUgrad]

ughh

 

[koleszar]

Looked like Geo wasting time out in no man's land. Then decides to finally push it with under 5 fvcking secs left.

 

[motorb54]

ouch
Didn't we have a 8 point lead with 5 minutes left?
How many points did we score in those last 5 minutes?
and then a sloppy turnover to start OT

 

[bac2therac]

Turnover terrible

Its all of college basketball - mens and womens.
I just don't get it.

Is it that college coaches can't draw up an end of game play?
Or call a play?

Even the "boring iso NBA" usually does a screen to force a switch and put a worse defender on the ball handler.

 

[bac2therac]

Great defense but no one can hit a shot to close it out

Now and 1...why

 

[RUTrack94]

One point lead and the ball with :26 left ... will it be one of those miss a FT lose on a three script endings?

Got the three but a different script! Let’s go Ladies!!!!!

 

[koleszar]

They play hard and scrap then fall asleep WTF. Are kids attention spans really that short?

 

[bac2therac]

Chance to up 6 2x and now we are again in pressure situation to score only up 1

67-66 1:55

 

[bac2therac]

Guirantes and 1..huge..make this ft

70-66..one stop

 

[bac2therac]

Guirantes for 3

73-68!

 

[koleszar]

Ha, our one pony tail, beat your pony tails at your own game.

 

[bac2therac]

Make free throws and close it out

 

[bac2therac]

75-68

Dont let them take a 3..one stop

 

[bac2therac]

Ugh

 

[RUTrack94]

Got the three but a different script! Let’s go Ladies!!!!!

Alright ladies ... awesome win!

 

[bac2therac]

Omfg...

 

[RUsince52]

The women think they have to contest every shot too. The situation doesn't seem to matter including when you can't foul. BB IQ goes right out the window. Now another stupid inbounds play. Does #13 ever dribble the ball ?

 

[bac2therac]

Alright ladies ... awesome win!

Lol aint over

 

[koleszar]

That was close to complete disaster.

 

[bac2therac]

They are terrible at closing things out

76-71...they let this team shoot open 3s in 2 seconds

Just get a friggin stop already and make all free throws

 

[JoeDell27]

This getting the ball at half court after every time out id crap

 

[bac2therac]

Wide open 3s..good thing they didnt ho

Sanders seals it 78-71...geez

 

[Abro1975]

After 4 hours of Play , RU wins 78-74 !!!!!!!!!

Arella may have done enough with the dra!matic 3 to clinch the POY for the Big10.

 

[motorb54]

whew, almost a disaster 5 seed secured

 

[koleszar]

Good win Lady's that's a resume padding win.

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers 78 Iowa 74

Punch that dance ticket

Great team victory and well coached game. Bravo

 

[Rutgers56_rivals]

Let’s go!

 

[RU MAN]

GREAT gut check win! Kudos ladies. This is an excellent signature win for the program heading into the B1G tournament and the NCAA tournament. Way to go!

 

[RUsince52]

Why not just play zone instead of chasing people all over the floor like we are actually behind. Have to question some of the coaching at the end. At least we survived the OT.

Arella may have done enough with the dra!matic 3 to clinch the POY for the Big10.

How many points did she have? Win the scoring title?

 

[RUgrad]

We are learning how to win close games. Two of the last 3, against good teams, have been down to the wire winners. If we had this figured out earlier we would have put Minny and MSU away too.

 

[MadRU]

Big win ladies!!!

 

[MADHAT1]

Rutgers won, complain all you want about it, but mark it down as a win
Instead of complaining, though worrying was part of the experience:
43 Rebounds for RU , Mael with 11-Jordan with 10, IU 30
Scoring :Khadaizha, Arella & Tekia with 17 >Mael 13
I felt good in the end.

 

[sammybb]

I'll admit, I was not optimistic going into OT, but the team made some huge shots and Iowa finally missed some shots.

KK with a huge senior day. 17pts, 6 steals, 4 assists, 6-7 from FT line. (also 6 turnovers but everyone from RU had TO bug today)
Mael with HUGE Fts and really showed up at end of regulation and OT. Double-double 13pts, 11 rebounds.
Arella struggled from floor but showed up in OT when team needed it.
Monster rebounding day for the team. Out-rebounded Iowa 43-30.
Minus last 5min of 4th quarter team defense was also largely outstanding.

Great way to finish the season.
