Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Michigan State at MSG

[Dpgru]

Simply put. Great second half. Think about it, won a game against MSU and only played offense in the second half.

 

[RUTrack94]

Congrats on the Q2 win!!!!!

Didn’t think it could happen, but the team did it!

Hope Mag is alright and RU gets 1 of the next 2 on the road.

Time to put Lacrosse on the big screen .., team up 18-6 with 2 min left in the 3rd.

 

[KingOfTheEast]

This was a game from 2020...

Missed layups and FTs. Bad shooting. Good job overcoming it and not panicking like us lol

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Hit the FTs down the stretch when we needed to, pretty much never allowing MSU to get within reasonable striking distance. Love that we flipped the script on that.

 

[njxchange]

is there another team in B1G that has 2 players shooting over 90% FT?

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

26 2nd half pts for Mulcahy and McConnell after 0 in the first half.

 

[RuBird]

Let’s hope Mag is OK going forward. Huge win with him sidelined for a good part of the game

 

[greenknight]

I'm gonna cry I missed the last 17 minutes of 2nd half. Had to take my daughter to get her hair done. Taped it but not the same

 

[biazza38]

The Hauser missed front end of the one and one when we were down was huge

 

[njxchange]

I really hope Mag will be okay. Will be huge loss if he misses games...

 

[fluoxetine]

When Spencer plays against D1 guards he looks awful

Unlike the D2 players they have at *checks notes* Purdue.

 

[scarletrat]

Heart and guts.
Hope mag is ok

 

[Knightmoves]

We’re all in agreement that we’re losing our next three and making the Nebby game sorta a must win, right?

How is this one for a losing attitude?

I mushed it!! Worked like a charm.
Changed my viewing seat and everything

 

[bethlehemfan]

That was a rutgers home game. Haha. Great job fans

 

[FastMJ]

I'gonna cry I missed the las 17 minutes of 2nd half. Had to take my daughter to get her hair done. Taped it but not the same

The hair couldn’t wait? Wtf

they should never treat that as home game ever again.
how many away teams bring their cheerleaders? it's BS

 

[StevieB160]

is there another team in B1G that has 2 players shooting over 90% FT?

What team has two players shooting over 90 percent free throws? Neither Rutgers nor Michigan State do.

 

[KingOfTheEast]

I will take credit for the W.

Moved from the living room to the office to watch the game after the 2nd half...you're welcome everybody!

 

[njxchange]

What team has two players shooting over 90 percent free throws? Neither Rutgers nor Michigan State do.

Paul and Cam both shooting over 90%

 

[RuBird]

So many reasons to love this team. Many down on Spencer……..yet he hit the FTs late to seal the game. Paul and Caleb with zero points first half………..yet 26 points in the second half. People need to relax and stop giving up early on this team. Thankfully Pike has not. True team every night someone else steps up

 

[BuggsyRU]

Rutgers is not winning this game. They are lucky they’re only down 6. I’m here in the arena. This will get ugly in the second half. This isn’t a “they can adjust at the half” game.

Uhhh you were about to admit you were wrong when?

 

[BuggsyRU]

We’re all in agreement that we’re losing our next three and making the Nebby game sorta a must win, right?

Posts like these just make people look dumb. I have no idea why you would write something like this with so much time left in the game!

 

[StevieB160]

Paul and Cam both shooting over 90%

Paul Mulcahy FT Percentage on the season is 83 percent.

 

[jrm75]

It's feels so good to beat the Spartans in NYC. You know they were so happy they didn't have to play us in the RAC and thought they would get a cheap "road" win.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Thus one felt good

 

[runner1954]

How is this one for a losing attitude?

How about we win the next 3!

 

[leftoright]

Predict Mag out three games with that boot on. But we got people.

 

[Scangg]

Some halftime posts from the loser mentality crowd admitting defeat and crying that it's over

OMG this team is pathetic.

WTF!!!!!!!
I’m done watching

Game.

Well, they wanted to play here, Pike, the players, the Administration and this is what we get. Tell the B1G to **** off next time because you're shitting the bed.

Sorry fellas but without an act of God, this ain’t gonna end well today.

Should have NEVER moved it out of The RAC

6 points might be too much to overcome

This is gonna be a tough game to lose with Indiana and Illinois on the road coming up

Rutgers is not winning this game. They are lucky they’re only down 6. I’m here in the arena. This will get ugly in the second half. This isn’t a “they can adjust at the half” game.

Iowa is a bad matchup … MSU is a bad matchup … now I’ll hear Illinois is a bad matchup,

We will have that 0-3 run to be 15-10 because it’s never easy for MBB.

This may go down to dumbest decisions in RU history… besides turning down Big Rast or hiring Littlepage… oh never mind

People are delusional if they think the way this team plays is a recipe for success.

 

[motorb54]

Simpson throws ball away with 5 seconds left and TG it didn’t hurt us.

That was on Paul as much as on Simpson.

 

[RUisB1Gtime]

Some halftime posts from the loser mentality crowd admitting defeat and crying that it's over

Haha...Scangg, you gotta let that **** slide on a game thread...its pure emotion

 

[RUmaz]

What the **** was that Simpson

Not sure it was all his fault. Paul was talking to the crowd and didn’t see the play. Didn’t hurt thankfully

 

[Scangg]

Predict Mag out three games with that boot on. But we got people.

I'd be ecstatic for only 3 games. As long as he's back for post season play

 

[Scangg]

Haha...Scangg, you gotta let that **** slide on a game thread...its pure emotion

Nope. Complaints about bad play is one thing. Admitting defeat is something else

 

[motorb54]

Why do they call Caleb “the blanket?”

Because of his blanket defense. When you blanket the offensive player he has no room to move.
You are all over him just like a blanket.

 

[Scangg]

People need to get a grip and not have over the top reactions about everything non stop

Grow a pair people. Believe in the team. Believe in Pike. They have earned it

 

[DaveSNJ]

Awesome game electric atmosphere at the. Garden

 

[greenknight]

The hair couldn’t wait? Wtf

My wife dropped the bomb on me at half time. I'm like WTF

I guess you werent watching the game because they were showing his season percent at end ALOT

 

[Colbert17!]

Since this was a home game for us there's one item no one's bitched about.
How many rows of seats did Schiano rope off for football recruits????
