Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers versus Indiana

[koleszar]

Not much you can do when your leaders are 2-13 for 4 total pts.. Paul and Caleb just haven't shown up thus far.

 

[RutgersNo1]

Simpson looking like the frosh today,

Since December

 

[Rokodesh]

And Kopp should not be allowed to have an open shot the rest of the game

With our zone he's going to be open by 10 yards each time

 

[RuBird]

Koop with 3 fouls. Time to go after him and pray the refs are paying attention to the game and not the crowd

Clearly over and back Caleb didn’t touch it

 

[njxchange]

Caleb's offensive moves are so predictable...

 

[RUJMM78]

Winnable game if Rutgers had players that could create and make shots off the drribble.

 

[RUChoppin]

Only 2 fouls called on Rutgers and we have multiple posters bitching about them being bad

Not bad, imo, but it's a rugby scrum out there. Super loose whistle in the second half.

 

[bac2therac]

Just 10 points this half in almost 11 minutes

 

[RU848789]

Great hustle by Caleb!

 

[Barnaby&Neill]

Paul’s decision making all screwed up. And he looks really slow tonight. Just not his night.

He’s a facilitator first and that ability helps open up the rest of his game. On top of good defense played on him tonight, I imagine the lineup disruption kills his rhythm and flow.

 

[jkernpop]

Tough call *my laughing intensifies*

 

[cm_13]

Solid acting job Caleb

 

[Scangg]

When Paul doesn't show up the offense reallyyy struggles

 

[bac2therac]

Hyatt has to make that

 

[RUTrack94]

Spread is 4.5 so refs need to keep it close

 

[RU848789]

treys just not falling this half

 

[RUTRINI_rivals]

Great look Hyatt. Unfortunate

 

[SBP]

Can’t keep missing wiiiide open looks

 

[Rokodesh]

SIMPSON 3!!!

 

[RU848789]

Simpson sighting!!

 

[RutgersMC]

At least 4 fouls on Kopp

 

[bac2therac]

Derek okay!

 

[cm_13]

wtf happened on that inbound?

 

[mildone_rivals]

treys just not falling this half

Nope. Getting good looks, but our guys are thinking too much. Just shoot.

 

[RU848789]

Down 6 with under 8 left. Could be far, far worse...

 

[pmvon]

Cliff is getting killed on the boards

 

[BigEastPhil]

Simpson has balls ! He doesn’t shy away from taking shots

 

[bac2therac]

Its doable but can we score 65 to win?

 

[RUTRINI_rivals]

Shoot it Simpson

 

[fluoxetine]

Simpson can take that shot all day. Just no step backs.

 

[Scangg]

Needed that one from Hyatt

 

[RUTRINI_rivals]

Its doable but can we score 65 to win?

I say yes

 

[njxchange]

Derek's open shot looks so much better than when he shoots off dribble

 

[RU848789]

Nope. Getting good looks, but our guys are thinking too much. Just shoot.

Didn't realize you're a mind reader with full access to their brains - you could make a lot of money with that skill...

 

[RuBird]

Koop with 3 fouls. Time to go after him and pray the refs are paying attention to the game and not the crowd

Make that 4 fouls

 

[RUTrack94]

Like your optimism … coming back from 14 down on the road vs Indy … that would be impressive! RU is 6/11 on threes probably doesn’t carry over. Indy shooting 60% probably cools off. Also Paul is due for his magic act (0 points first half).

Indy couldn’t really stop Edey in the 2nd half. Think Cliff inside is RU’s best chance. Inside to Cliff and kick out to wide open threes.

RU from 6/11 to 8/21
Indy was at 60% now at 54%
Paul has 2 points.
Not seeing a lot to Cliff inside.

 

[Corycord1]

RU can win this. Need someone to get hot from 3. Get Kopp fouled out, he’s really been their only threat from deep

 

[Rokodesh]

Need to play defense without fouling. We're not getting offensive rebounds.
