All I have to say after that last debacle is, "Thank God there's not a game before the Rutgers game". And @tfio haven't forgotten about you, that foxsports.com call last game was a great find. If I wasn't on this board I would have been throwing sh*t at my TV.

 

[RU Mike73]

Let’s go boys. B1G win today. Marching into the tourney.

 

[RU848789]

Intensity needed. And play smart Myles.

 

[RU848789]

loved RHJ being aggressive there - good follow by MJ

 

[tfio]

Another win and we’re another step closer. Lets do this

 

[koleszar]

Why does McConnell try and do too much.

 

[tfio]

Looked like Ohio State had probably around 100 people at their game today...why can’t we still have any?

 

[RU848789]

Need better shots

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Harper throws it away and then jogs back

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Looks like Northwestern wants this game more than Rutgers

 

[koleszar]

Harper continues to disappoint.

 

[jordkap]

Nobody wants to shoot

 

[bac2therac]

Terrible strategy early..do not understand

Making harder than it should be

 

[G- RUnit]

Harper in the clouds agin.

 

[bac2therac]

Too much passing and degree of difficulty

Just play the game

 

[bac2therac]

Why are they shooting 3s

Why why why

 

[RUsojo]

Sick and tired of Pike and this line up this offense is putrid and the solution is right as his fingertips yet he refuses.

 

[cubuffsdoug_rivals]

Harper continues to disappoint.

It's the entire team looking for the perfect shot each possession. Rutgers moves the ball for an open shot, then pause long enough for the defender to recover.

 

[bac2therac]

Stop shooting 30 3s a game

 

[RU Mike73]

1 for 6 already

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Too much passing . Just take it inside. Why so hard?

 

[koleszar]

Shooting a blistering 14% at this point. Way to go guys.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Sick and tired of Pike and this line up this offense is putrid and the solution is right as his fingertips yet he refuses.

The lineup is fine. The offense is garbage

 

[rufeelinit]

I am ready for some subs. Half court issues continue.

 

[herdof3]

it's early...let's not end up saying it's getting late early

 

[Degaz-RU]

Just pound the damn ball into Myles

 

[shields]

Wake up.

 

[superfan01]

How many passes and missed shots are we going to have.

 

[RU848789]

wtf? We should not have 4 of our 7 shots being treys...

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

We may need JY today.

 

[fluoxetine]

I’m all for taking more threes but not whatever that was McConnell was doing lol.

 

[bac2therac]

This will be a game where the good in control Young will be counted on

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Gonna be fast game with few calls.. Refs wanna beat the snow

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

NW packing it in and daring us to hit from outside. Bad start so far.

 

[Captain Hogleg]

Pike has these guys afraid to shoot. He insists that they “get to the hoop”. They are hesitant now. Bad job by him

 

[Night Man]

One of the biggest differences between now and earlier in the year is that the ball just stops and stagnates so often on offense now. Really bad today.

 

[fluoxetine]

wtf? We should not have 4 of our 7 shots being treys...

would be fine if they were open instead of desperation chucks and McConnell step backs.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Our first possession was good....not so much since. Passing up higher percentage shots just to run the shot clock down and end up with low percentage shots.

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Bac's right. They are trying to find the perfect shot. Northwestern's defense recovers.
