Game Thread: RU vs Corn People

[BillyC80]

Decent crowd, pretty full student section, and we are getting loud today. Our defense is sick. Make a few shots and FTs and this is a B1G victory.

 

[BillyC80]

Agree on Gettys D today. Our bigs have obviously been coached to defend by going straight up without fouling, and Gettys does that to perfection.

 

[BillyC80]

By the way, Eugene is bringin it today.

 

[Pritz99]

Keep doing what we're doing (duh!). Keep going to the basket. We'll get blocked some, miss some, but we'll draw fouls and force them to lay off. Keep running. It's our best offense, will tire out their short bench (as shown in last 7-8 minutes). Keep defending, and they'll give up. Stay away from TOs.

 

[djrc89]

Score?????

 

[BillyC80]

RU up 33-28, 18:33 left.

 

[Pritz99]

Flat, stupid turnover.

 

[PatrickRU92]

Nebraska is not going to go away. We have to weather the storm. This is where you need 3 point shooters to keep them at distance because they are going to make some this half. We aren't going to shut them down like the 1st half all game.

 

[PatrickRU92]

ah ****.

 

[BillyC80]

RU up 37-34, 15:42 left.

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

This will be a matter of execution on both ends of the court...Nigel 8 points are difference between being up and playing well vs struggling. He's at least providing a threat that Nebraska has to account for.

 

[RU Mike73]

UUUUgh 10 point lead gone

 

[greenknight]

Good to see they BLEW a 10 ot lead in underived 5 minutes

 

[greenknight]

Diallo isn't tbe 1st knight I've seen do this. He shoots FTS with his palms so does corey sanders and Freeman That's why they suck at the line. They should watch their 7fter Gettys who us probably the only one that has good forn

 

[RUPartisan]

This is the MO of this team this year. Its literally every game. Depth might be an issue but Pikiell has got to close some od these games.

 

[koleszar]

Nice to see we still haven't learned how to keep a lead. This loss will be just another learning experience. Problem is we never seem to learn.

 

[SirPerceval]

its like there is some type of mind erasing device in the locker room.

 

[PatrickRU92]

we held NU scoreless for 7 mins in the 1st half. Awesome for us but we weren't going to to that the whole game. They are going to make shots. They have made 2 strongly contested 3s in the last few minutes. Thats what good college basketball teams will do. We have to counter that by scoring ourselves, the problem is we have literally no one to turn to.

I'm 100% behind this staff but it boggles the mind that we can't even get an open shot for Williams, the one guy who has the ability to make it??? It seems like we just don't run plays for him which I just don't get. Find a way to get him 15 shots a game

 

[Pritz99]

Came out flat. Assumed things wouldn't change. Not nearly the fire, and Nebraska is making shots. We can win, but gotta get bacck to driving the hoop...running when we can.

 

[cubuffsdoug_rivals]

its like there is some type of mind erasing device in the locker room.

there are two halves to a game. Did Rutgers forgets that? They might have to petition the NCAA to make games only 20 minutes long.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Every single time nigel drives its a turnover. Un ******* real

 

[greenknight]

This is right about the time Nigel and Corey self destruct and kill the team with their out of control play and turnovets

 

[cubuffsdoug_rivals]

You are correct. This will turn into a double-digit deficit.

 

[Caliknight]

You can only attack so much. At some point the sit in the lane begging us to shot.

Need outside shots. It's that simple.

 

[cubuffsdoug_rivals]

That mid-range jumper Corey just hit is what they need to do more often instead of driving all the way to the basket in to traffic

Agree...at least try to run something for him. Need to do more than just high pick and roll

 

[cubuffsdoug_rivals]

Didn't Pike say the first 10 seconds of the shot clock belongs to the players? If so, maybe mike has to get his shots doing that time.

 

[RUsince52]

Could be the beginning of the end with our foul situation. Not smart with Neb having the short bench and we give the advantage away.
But just maybe we dodge the bullet.
Really hurts watching the other team taking pull up jumpers when their drive is cutoff and we continue in and just throw up an off balance shot.

 

[motorb54]

Why can't Freeman take/make a six footer instead of going into the defender and losing the ball?

 

[Caliknight]

Kids giving great effort as usual. Let's get this one!

 

[RUsince52]

there are two halves to a game. Did Rutgers forgets that? They might have to petition the NCAA to make games only 20 minutes long.

Or each half counts as 1/2 loss instead of a full one.

 

[koleszar]

Did you just see Freeman's last shot all day to set and shoot and he still missed. He sucks at shooting. That was like a practice shot and he still missed.[roll]

 

[RU Mike73]

Freeman a missing person again in 2nd half. C'mon guys this is our best chance for a win for the rest of the year.

 

[toby83]

Freeman was getting frustrated not getting ball then loses it and once and misses chippie back to back . A10 player.

 

[RUsince52]

Williams has the same look twice. Passes up the first , gets it back with even more room. Seems to think about it and misses off line. Shooters make that shot most times.

 

[koleszar]

Freeman is single handily going to lose this game for us. While Sanders is doing everything possible to win it.

 

[PatrickRU92]

Corey doing the job. need someone else to help him. C'mon guys, just SOMEONE step up and make shots. PLEASE!!!!!!

 

[Caliknight]

Wow, Freeman got rejected by their stationary white guy three point shooter.

That's not awesome.

 

[koleszar]

Freeman's guy with the 3.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Most frustrating program like ever
