Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Iowa

[rufeelinit]

Did we even watch the film from the last game?

 

[KnightLife1994]

Can we please got to an EFFING 1-3-1 or 3-2 zone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every game against teams that launch threes we stick with this ****** man defense and it does not WORK PERIOD.

SWITCH UP THE MOTHER EFFING D PIKE!!!!

 

[Shell21]

turnovers, leaving guys open for 3 and lack of defensive rebounding killing us. they completely outplayed us the last ten minutes. Would love to be wrong but iowa seems to have our number. We can lock down most teams in the league but then minus that one game last year

 

[FastMJ]

Mag has no basketball IQ

Dumbest post of the season

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

BTW as soon as we went to a zone Mccaffery hit a 3. And that has happened many times this season. Ditch the zone Pike. And figure out how to contest the iowa shooters

 

[Scangg]

Cliff didn't move his pivot foot. **** you ref

I thought the same thing but watched it again. It was a good call

 

[Degaz-RU]

I never understand why Iowa always seems to play really good defense against us. They generally suck at defense.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Iowa getting away with constant grabbing but we are playing lousy d and the turnovers are ridiculous

 

[RUTrack94]

Well dudes … skipping the 2nd half to get a workout in before wrestling … wishing the team luck and hope for a pleasant surprise … team played hard, but some teams have your number.

 

[red sail]

Sloppy on both ends by RU. I would have hoped we watched the insane amount of 3’s they took at the RAC and figured out we need to contest their shots more.

 

[ScottRU93]

what is wrong with Cam? Hes like 2-25 in last 3 games?

 

[njxchange]

Gonna be so refreshing to have Ace, Gavin, Dellquan on the offensive end

 

[richthedentist]

Iowa 8-14 from three

How we are not defending the three is beyond me especially after last time we played them

 

[bac2therac]

13 turnovers and giving up 8 3s

Its RAC game part 2

Remember that game the lead was 34-30 and then they took control the last 3 minutes before half

This time 32-30 with chance to tie and they go on 13-4 run

Its just a piss poor defensive performance and 13 turnovers is inexcusable

The refs have zero to do with this

We were in the 1-3-1 when McCaffery hit his first. 3-2 won’t fix this, Iowa’s ball movement is too good.

 

[RUfubar_rivals]

Out coached out shot out d'd

 

[njxchange]

what is wrong with Cam? Hes like 2-25 in last 3 games?

Other teams said, he cant create shot for himself so just dont give him any room when he gets the ball

 

[FastMJ]

Why does this team always give us headaches?

Because their roster is full of excellent players maybe?

 

[motorb54]

Cliff and Caleb very bad on the O end.
Why cannot we get Cam a look?

 

[Ru0822]

Same stuff as the first game…way too many open threes.

 

[Rokodesh]

Iowa getting away with constant grabbing but we are playing lousy d and the turnovers are ridiculous

Pike needs to get a technical. Its a mugging

 

[RU848789]

You gotta be kidding me with this take. Look at the 3 point stat line between the two teams.

People blaming this on the refs have zero basketball IQ. Unforced TOs (13!) have given them so many extra opportunities and taken away our own, while slow rotations on defense have led to a ton of open looks and they're hitting them at a 50% clip (8-16). That's why we're losing, not the refs.

 

[GORU2014]

what is wrong with Cam? Hes like 2-25 in last 3 games?

He wasn’t going to shoot 60% on 3s the entire season

 

[anon1753890747]

No, it’s not. We aren’t playing well at all

Playing well enough to be down a bucket
From the point we should have gotten an intentional 2 shot foul on dix on they have let Iowa play like the Detroit pistons and call everything on us the foul call on Rebier was BS in comparison to what’s going on on the other end
All are points are in the paint, we have as many fouls as they do how can that be!!!

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Yea. True unfortunately.

Dumbest post of the season

def. because his defensive basketball IQ is like 150
offense is like 100-110... avg

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

We are going to lose but I’d like to at least see us try something new.

We did and they hit a wide open 3

 

[Caliknight]

We can’t defend every 3 point shooter they have which is multiple.

You can take away some things. You can’t take away everything.

Making Ulis hit 3s was part of the plan. But he’s hitting them.

Good offense beats good defense in basketball.

 

[Nycrusupporter]

Because our offense sucks

The amount of ******** they get away with is absurd.

 

[IL Lusciato]

I hate nerdy *** Iowa and their 3 pointers.

 

[bac2therac]

How on earth does Torvik say there is a 96% chance of finishing in top 4 when the standings are so tight

 

[greenknight]

We can trade 3 Pters with them we cannot go punch for punch on 3 pters. So take the 3 away.

The 3 point shooting always seems to be insane against us

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

If Cam and Cliff don't make shots, we are in trouble.

Have you seen us play defense? This is basically them matching our style of play. We have a thousand turnovers and keep missing near the basket. Maybe 2 3s so far on our side. They’re outplaying us.

this game we are losing because WE ARE SUCKING!!! Bad showing at both sides of the ball.

get RIEBER IN NOW! He's the only one playing well

 

[bitnez]

Other teams said, he cant create shot for himself so just dont give him any room when he gets the ball

I hope he turns it around but he’s also not built like a B1G guard. He could simply be out of gas.

How come what is supposed to be a lesser D team in Iowa get their shooters open but we cant?!
