Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Northwestern

[RutHut_rivals]

I was yelling at Young and then he gets that steel. Kid always makes it interesting.

 

[bac2therac]

wtf is that possession..why

 

[RU848789]

Jacob and Hyde

Good one.

 

[bac2therac]

Good one.

classic

 

[RUsojo]

Young is exactly the kind of player that will play you out of the ncaa tourney..think Earl Duncan in 91.....Ru can easily be beat by 11 seed St Bonnies with our level of play right now

concerning for me is Geo lack of production

geo has lacked production most for the year even playing the majority of his minutes with Ron and Myles

Our offense without JY will play us out of the tourny lol

 

[RUsojo]

Anyone sweating -8?

 

[mildone_rivals]

So smart

?

 

[Captain Hogleg]

If Ron would just take the shot he’s given and not pass on it for a tougher shot he might get out of this slump.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Love that missed 3 and follow up FTs

 

[RU848789]

10-12 from the line - another good outing...

 

[mugrat86]

Say what you want about McConnell. I will take 10 of him on my team. Best free throw shooter on team to boot

 

[bac2therac]

game over

 

[RU848789]

Ugly, but needed win.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Love that negated 3 due to a TO

 

[NickKnight 1]

I hope Young plays well next year, on another team.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Refs lost their whistles in this game. Which is always nice.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

I hope Young plays well next year, on another team.

Absurd statement

 

[tfio]

Not the prettiest but another win closer boys

 

[Night Man]

Survive and advance

 

[RuBird]

best post in the thread, it really should not be life death struggle to put away a bad Northwestern who has lost 10 in a row and really has no playmakers......style points dont mean anything but geez we got a big dog coming up next week

Your definition of life death struggle not the same as mine. We have played many more nail bitters this year.

 

[carmenst]

We won. Time for the happy recap: Feels good to win and one step closer to the NCAA tourney.

 

[GSGS]

We defunded the police tonight! Miller Kopp, only 1 for 7 from 3.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Every shot just has to be harder than it has to. Just square up to the rim. Panic, panic, panic.

Ok, take the win. Check.

 

[gef21]

I hope Young plays well next year, on another team.

His defensive ability and athleticism would be missed immensely.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Crazy:

why was Northwestern not fouling with under a 1:30 left down 9 vs one of the worst foul shooting teams in the nation? They were at 7 team fouls already. Crazy!

 

[RUsojo]

Myles and JY getting it done tonight but this team needs to improve

 

[GSGS]

NW has looked like us at times from the FT line.

 

[mugrat86]

JY has worst bball IQ to ever where RU uniform but also plays great D and makes some unbelievable plays. Mathis has worst bball IQ and rarely does anything positive except on defensive side

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers foul shooting makes the difference in winning the game.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Happy to say I was wrong about a ref working that point spread.. When we were up 9 I fully expected some calls to help drop it below 8

 

[Zak57]

Won by 14! Easy!!

 

[RUsojo]

Would like to go back to Young Harper and Mathis playing 30ish minutes a game think they went 7-1

 

[Night Man]

14 looks a lot better on paper. Might even stay in the top 25?

 

[RuBird]

Great defensive effort, Held NW to lowest point total all season. Myles was allowed to play like a beast! Love it!

 

[rucoe89]

good news - no one player is needed to be “on” to win. Sign of a dangerous team at tourney time

 

[BigEastPhil]

Very solid games from Caleb, Myles and Harp

 

[Jtung230]

Wait what? Pike’s daughter plays for NW?

 

[RU848789]

We will take the lead and win this by double digits

I agree.

Everyone can thank us now, lol. This was a game we really had to have with a weak opponent on our court and we did it - we ground out the win with defense.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Things are lookin' up when we get a 14-point win and aren't entirely pleased with it.

 

[mugrat86]

Rutgers D was terrific
