Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops versus Iowa

[RU05]

Harper is focused, he almost nailed that half-court shot

Came off the rim soft too. Shooting with touch from half court.

 

[RUsojo]

refs allowed a really physical 1st half with a ton of no calls on both sides. I fear the inevitable “call a completely different 2nd half” is coming.

That did happen last year

 

[Scarlet Knut]

Knew it was bad, but that’s awful. Pike needs to quote that stat and get the guys to finish or get fouled.

When we do get fouled they aren't calling them. Johnson got fouled on his dunk attempt.

 

[ru66]

and he's a killer

I think Bobo got a reaming out after the last Rutgers game about fouls in general

 

[Rusty_Screw_88]

Was it his substitutions or that fact that he has Rutgers ranked #14 in the country tied against the #10 team in the country that is a sign that that he is a great coach....

The amount of people who complain about the smallest things as if pikiell is still in year one at stony Brook is comical at this point.

Ohio State was much less on Pike and much more on Bo Boroski and the boys.

Tough crap. Gotta make the shots then. Go stronger to the rim. Then the fouls will have to be too obvious to let go.

We can’t control the ref. Only how we play.

 

[motorb54]

Wish Myles would look to score when he gets an offensive rebound one foot from the basket

 

[BOCA93]

RHJ starting to heat up before the break. Hope he takes over the 2nd

 

[RU Mike73]

Put them away this half. Go RU!

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

The rotation will be cut to 7 in the 2nd half. It was about playing even in the first half and no one in foul trouble. You will see a much shorter bench this half.

 

[rtabachk]

He needs to attack the rim a bit. He's being very passive.

 

[ScarletDave]

Time for refs to show up and give Garza what he wants

 

[RUsojo]

I noticed I was texting too many people and chatting it up with you all on top of it where I missed a play or two in the 1H...

Unfortunately, gonna take a back seat on here 2H.

 

[Rusty_Screw_88]

Knew it was bad, but that’s awful. Pike needs to quote that stat and get the guys to finish or get fouled.

But they have not called a few fouls on the layups. That Johnson foul was an egregious no call.

 

[carmenst]

Nunge with the assist to JY

 

[BillyC80]

Its not an nba thing however its evident he doesnt believe in it

Pike is of the school that if you rush it you likely get two bad shots instead of one good one. He believes you work for the best shot you can with each possession. The only exception I would make is with JY, he can get you a bucket in a hurry.

 

[koleszar]

WTF Young, OK you messed up don't sit and sulk about it, get back on D.

 

[bac2therac]

Bad turnover and even worse foul

 

[BillyC80]

How many steals do we have already?

 

[RUPartisan]

Young lost focus.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Hustle back on D JY....cmon

 

[Ronnie_B]

WTF Young, OK you messed up don't sit and sulk about it, get back on D.

He listened!

 

[DHajekRC84]

like I once said Garza = Frankenstein--has the height, the eyebrows and now the plugs (not in his neck but his nose)

Yeah but have to admit with his skill level its Doctor Frankenstein.

 

[bac2therac]

Classic Rutgers basketball!

 

[richthedentist]

great defense keep up the intensity

 

[RUsojo]

D is phenomenal

 

[shields]

Shut down Weiskamp and we win.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

That was some RU bball right there.

 

[BillyC80]

Holy **** we look like a highlight reel.

 

[RUPartisan]

Damn this is such an exciting team!

 

[mildone_rivals]

But they have not called a few fouls on the layups. That Johnson foul was an egregious no call.

I know. But that just means you drive harder. Make the ref call it. No soft layups where the foul can be ignored or overlooked. Only way to beat bad reffing.

 

[rtabachk]

Cannot fall into a lull or let them go on a run after this TO. Need to put a stranglehold on.

 

[Degaz-RU]

We have 10 steals

 

[RU Mike73]

Rum them out of the RAC

 

[BillyC80]

We have 10 steals

Thank you!

 

[RUTRINI_rivals]

We are doing the RUTGERS THING!

 

[rtabachk]

Rum them out of the RAC

 

[BillyC80]

Can you imagine if the RAC was packed for this?

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

How high does Rutgers have to be ranked before we stop talking about pikiell’s view on 2 for 1 opportunities? At this point it doesn’t look like it actually matters...
