Ron time imo, because today

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

I'd like to see a fake timeout play... dribble toward the coach as if you are going to call a timeout.. wait for the player to race in to steal the ball before you can.. then use his momentum against him for a 5 on 4

 

[BOCA93]

Geo has been resting long enough. Get him and Harper back in the rest of the way and seal this one

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Its just never easy

Anything but a 3 in that spot. Needed to close out on it, now sweat it out mode. Again.

 

[waksman]

Illinois players are wearing fitbits to track their steps

 

[RUsince52]

2 bad shots in a row and of course they score. Time to get back on track again. Do we have a FT attempt this half ?

 

[BillyC80]

Keep it to 7 or better would be nice, three possession game.

 

[RU Mike73]

Do not let them get any closer. Heart rate up. Breathing difficult. Pounding Nails

 

[ballgame4u]

smart play Young.. clock is a friend'

no doubt but lots of time left. the boys gotta keep knocking down shot to finish this one off

 

[ScarletteK80]

Mathis has been getting the quick hook

deservedly

Knowing the B1G refs they'd blow the play dead and screw it up.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Easy two somehow please
