Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Northwestern

[newell138]

26-9 first 10 minutes
8-20 second 10 minutes

 

[bac2therac]

we look absolutely embarrassing and Mathis..wtf

no fg in last 8:50 and absolutely bitchslapped by a not good NW on a 18-3 run

right now they deserve to lose...

the leadership is poor and no one seems to care

both teams hit the same amount of baskets

anyone from the board could have done as good in the last 9 minutes...3 free throws folks

 

[DHajekRC84]

And once again Mathis misses the shot due to clock violation. Un fracking believable. 3rd time in a row.

 

[richthedentist]

we didn't score the 8:50 seconds just pathetic

 

[RUSK97]

No buckets in the last 8:50 aside from FTs.

 

[MLBash93]

It’s really the issue when youre not running an offense. We dont generate easy buckets so we therefore settle often

Dude get over yourself. We get it. Holy ****.

Every comment "we don't run an offense"

Enough man. We get it. I promise you

 

[SBP]

RHJ NEEDS TO GET DOWN ON THE BLOCK AND GET THAT LITTLE FADE AWAY WORKIN!

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Let’s also acknowledge that the refs were atrocious in that half, but heavily skewed in our favor.

NW might not be good but aren’t they the only team to beat Michigan so far this season?

 

[rudad02]

Same old BS with Baker. Holds on to the ball & runs it down too low.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

This is one of those games where you need Mulcahy. Really terrible decisions and laziness out there and Harper has the Montez pout going on.

 

[RUTRINI_rivals]

Up 5 on the road at half time. I'll take it.

 

[tfio]

The stuff I see happen with Rutgers athletics never ceases to amaze me

 

[GSGS]

And once again Mathis misses the shot due to clock violation. Un fracking believable. 3rd time in a row.

And he had an open 3 with still a couple of seconds remaining.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Need to close this half out without our usual let down to close a half.

Looks like you need to keep your thoughts to yourself.

 

[Rokodesh]

I've never seen a team handle success worse than we do. They get a 20 point lead and think they're the Lebron/Wade Heat

 

[rudad02]

Pike‘s body language leaving the court makes me think he’s pissed off. I know he doesn’t want the players taking so many 3s so early in the possession. That’s killing us.

Yes.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Geo and Harper 6 turnovers and 1 assist.

 

[BOCA93]

Never been so irritated with a 5 pt halftime lead. Truly awful 10 mins of bball

 

[leftoright]

Harper zero points?

 

[anon_xekqhstck0ygt]

very strange they must think RU is wearing white

Let’s also acknowledge that the refs were atrocious in that half, but heavily skewed in our favor.

 

[biazza38]

Someone wake Baker up. No one did anything right on the offensive end the last 9 minutes, but Baker was brutal

 

[bac2therac]

Harper and Geo have 6 turnovers between them...more focus and less tweeting

 

[anon_xekqhstck0ygt]

TWO really really BAD passes too

Same old BS with Baker. Holds on to the ball & runs it down too low.

 

[Degaz-RU]

31-11

34-29

Unbelievable - no FGs in the last 8:50 of the half. Would be nice if our leading scorer could get off the schneid.

 

[biazza38]

NW might not be good but aren’t they the only team to beat Michigan so far this season?

No
Minnesota did

 

[Caliknight]

Their stubbornness to throw the ball inside regularly is confounding. I know Pike sees it. Yet he allows this undisciplined outside dribble shoot crap to go on. We just have a very low collective IQ. It’s just so dumb.

 

[BKIn118]

Nothing, maybe I just missed seeing your posts lately.

No worries. I'm still around, but I don't post much anymore. This board sorta leaves a bad taste lately.

 

[anon_xekqhstck0ygt]

how can you look so good but then so bad? microcosm of the season

 

[Shell21]

Need to come out like we did against Sparty to start the second half . Enough with the matchup zone ; it took away oil aggressiveness and is giving them open looks . We have 2 players covering 1. Also get Myles the ball on every possession . Let him be the facilitator , they have no answer

 

[bac2therac]

NW might not be good but aren’t they the only team to beat Michigan so far this season?

no..they beat MSU and OSU and Indiana..when you are up 20 you should be able to hold double digits til half

 

[bethlehemfan]

Harper and Geo have 6 turnovers between them...more focus and less tweeting

And 1 assist. 11 turnovers total

 

[DHajekRC84]

WTF is Geo doing?

Wonder boy being wonder boy. Nothing new. He's pretty lazy cept in spots.
Yeah, screw me I know.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Whatever happened to RHJ? Is he still going NBA?

 

[ScarletLongIsland_rivals]

Unwatchable

 

[RutHut_rivals]

I'm outraged!! I was an RU engineer major and I'm at least 6'!

 

[bethlehemfan]

Geo is getting abused by audriche or whatever his name is.

 

[RUJMM78]

Unbelievable collapse

Its not a unbelievable collapse because Rutgers doesn't have consistent shooters.They are a spurt team where they will go on a scoring run and then not make a basket for five or more minutes .They have allowed Northwestern to go on a 18-3 spurt which has resulted in only a five point lead for Rutgers at half time.Harper lack of scoring is becoming a big concern.

 

[leftoright]

I was a slave to optimism, but I'm breakin' my chains!

 

[GSGS]

RHJ needs to find his offense.
