Basketball LIVE GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Nebraska

[bac2therac]

Wow Mathis!

 

[PatrickRU92]

TEZ JAM

 

[tfio]

Mathissss damn

 

[Scarlet Knut]

Mathis with the jam.

 

[ecojew]

I don't know where the above comments are time wise but the NBC scoreboard site is showing RU up by a score of 32-24 with 2:19 left in the half.

 

[BillyC80]

Young buries all 3 FTs, Harper with the block, and Tez with the jam!

 

[bac2therac]

One shot

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

So critical

 

[koleszar]

Now that's a halftime ending shot. Finally.

 

[PatrickRU92]

CALEB!!!

 

[biazza38]

That’s how you close out a half

 

[Scarlet Knut]

Great half in spite of fouls.

 

[BillyC80]

Caleb at the buzzer! RU up 41-28.

 

[RU848789]

Smart play by JY there at the end of the half, not trying to attack and bringing the ball back out and allowing Caleb to score. He gets so much crap for his bad plays that we need to recognize the quiet good ones, too. 41-28. Nice.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Mathis with a jam like I’ve never seen. Worth another comment. Wow!

 

[sport2231]

We absolutely need Baker but it’s such a nice change to not see a Rutgers basketball or football team just collapse with out their best player

 

[RutHut_rivals]

Good job by RU. Keep up the intensity for half 2.

 

[jersey07080]

Arguably one of our best 1st half performances. Solid D and rebounding and avoided charges on offense.

 

[bac2therac]

Caleb!

Ru 41-28....got everything back plus one after that dip

Myles back in was huge there as was Mack out

Rutgers needs to stay aggressive. Nebby is a bad defensive team

2nd half take care of ball and limit the fouls

 

[RW90]

Sweeet

 

[RutgHoops]

Down 3 with the ball after our first 8 minutes without Geo on the road is not a bad start.

Good early call by this guy. :Laughing

 

[jordkap]

I don't like fakers. Guy shouldve been called for a foul. Hey I wouldn't have minded if he was actually injured but that's not the case.

Kid is hurt. If I had to guess he has a concussion and won’t be back today

 

[armenius]

What a great response after that late Huskers run! Having four freshman who had tons of minutes last year is paying dividends right now.

 

[RU848789]

If we win this game, what's the over/under on how long it takes some moron to say we're a better team without Geo? 10 minutes?

 

[PatrickRU92]

we would be up more but quite frankly Nebraska is missing their 3s so badly that they are getting lucky on the long rebounds. And don't start with me with that bullsh*t dead ball on the rim 3. I swear we are on a tear of teams making lucky shots like that against us.

 

[bac2therac]

Everyone is stepping up tonight...so far

 

[RC85]

That's some big boy ball by RU to close the half. Should be up by 20 if the refs weren't screwing us.

 

[shields]

First five minutes let us put them away.

 

[Scangg]

Young is making an effort to be more under control which is nice. This team is so much better with Myles on the floor.

 

[koleszar]

Smart play by JY there at the end of the half, not trying to attack and bringing the ball back out and allowing Caleb to score. He gets so much crap for his bad plays that we need to recognize the quiet good ones, too. 41-28. Nice.

Some of us have and he's playing way less out of control this game. He's becoming more we than me.

 

[RutgHoops]

Just need 20 more solid minutes.

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

We need this. Ill be shaking all 2nd half.

 

[ecojew]

Those of us without the ability to view the game would appreciate the score update every now and then, like in the above post. Most of the comments above provide very little information to those not able to watch the game.

Thanks!

 

[RU848789]

I don't like fakers. Guy shouldve been called for a foul. Hey I wouldn't have minded if he was actually injured but that's not the case.

Moronic post - was a bang-bang play with no possession, so no foul is correct there, and the kid was clearly hurt and could have a concussion, as they knocked heads.

 

[bac2therac]

Remember how the team collapsed without Eugene last year and got punked by Minnesota. Now compare one year later. That is growth. Now close it out

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Hello, my name is Jacob Young, I have a new haircut. How ya like me now?

GREAT SONG....worth a listen during half time.

 

[MV9000]

That Mathis Jan was filthy

 

[bac2therac]

That's some big boy ball by RU to close the half. Should be up by 20 if the refs weren't screwing us.

The refs are fine overall..please stop

 

[MV9000]

Additionally, Jacob seems to slowly but surely be finding out how to pace and play within the system. Let’s finish this one out.

 

[ScarletDave]

Pikiell out-coaching Nebby despite some haters keep popping their heads up softly ... stopping the 3s and going inside to Johnson was a great adjustment. Jacob Young finally playing under control, you can almost see him going against his instinct sometimes backing out of the run and looking for a pass
