Basketball LIVE GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Northwestern

[newell138]

I just saw a fat lady she was warming up

Looks like she missed her chance

 

[Night Man]

See what happens when one player... any player... is not mired in a bad shooting slump

 

[greenknight]

Lucky very lucky....we play that game at NW we lose by 25

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

geo trying

and geo does. All you guys bashing geo owe my man an apology. Guys.


Oh yeah. Defense wins games!!!!

 

[bac2therac]

Holy ****

 

[newell138]

Holy ****!!!

I bailed with 13 min left or so.

******** big comeback.

BTW, you're welcome for me tuning out and allowing Rutgers to win. LOLOL

Wrong it was me staying off the game thread

 

[Caliknight]

But we didn’t. Great win.

 

[ru66]

gave young the sword nice move

 

[RU Mike73]

Coyote ugly win. But a W nonetheless. Suck it haters

 

[RUScrew85]

I gotta record it at 2AM to see the last 15 minutes. LOLOL

 

[RUTrack94]

The good is RU brought the deficit down to 11, and are getting more FT attempts and rebounds. I can’t see RU going 0-9 on 3 pointers again (law of averages to hit 30%).

Hope the fans turn NW into a bunch of deer in headlights once NW starts shooting in the student section.

The dreams to dance are still alive!!!!!!

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

At 7:51.. down, I think 15...

I still think we'll win.. but this will affect us negatively for the next few games

Told ya so.. now I hope I'm wrong about the second part

 

[RUScrew85]

Wrong it was me staying off the game thread

Nope sorry. Me bailing like a ***** got us the win. LOLOL

 

[Night Man]

It wasn't even that great of a viewing experience. Shave it down to the last 4.

 

[fluoxetine]

What a ****** win.

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

Great game. I got a little nervous at 8 minute mark but for some reason never thought we would lose.

great team win. I watch from home and you could tell the crowd was great! Pikiell needs to buy everyone a hot dog next home game


Defense wins game. 19-4 run. It also almost cost us. They were lights out and we still won. That is a demoralizing loss for NW

 

[ancienthooper]

So many asshats.

 

[RUScrew85]

I deserve to watch the first half again for quitting on the team. LOLOL

 

[fluoxetine]

I was optimistic for a while but I definitely got to the point where I thought we were ******.

 

[theRU]

I kinda feel for NW and their fans... That's the kinda defeat snatched from the jaws of victory only we could understand

 

[Night Man]

Maybe if you're an ax murderer you deserve to watch that first half again... on second thought no, you deserve better either way.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Thank you Geo

On Reddit they were very sure throughout the 1st half that this would happen. Up 14 with under 10 to go or whatever it was, I think they started to believe. Which was a mistake. We know the feeling.

 

[RUScrew85]

I'm taking my medicine like a man.

 

[Night Man]

BTN having a really rough night. Now showing the Maryland logo instead of the R.

 

[newell138]

So many asshats.

To be fair we looked like **** most of the game. That being said people bailing and calling it a loss in the first half is a bit extreme

btw I jumped into the game thread right when they started playing well... I'll take it the rest of the way, see you in the postgame threads

 

[RU Mike73]

KYK working on getting Pike fired. Good luck with that.

Dude should stick to football

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

I thought we need to fire Pike???

well.. while not one of those guys.. I found it very strange when Wenzel said Pike was telling them to run the weave while they were down 14-16 or so. Every one of our guys should be able to take their man one on one.. we had plenty of open shots we'd turn down. I would have thought the plan should have been to push the ball early and often.. turn it back if you had nothing.. but crash the boards and take first open shot.

Kyk looks for laces on a basketball. He has no clue about the sport. Good fan, though

Dont let geo catching absolute fire make you overlook the fact that pike was outcoaced tonight. We won in spite of pike tn, not because of him. Some very very poor moves tonight by him and hes still not running an offense. Its a problem

really? what school? what sport?

Couple questions.

1) what happened when caleb got put in for mulcahy after paul was in for an extended period as caleb was locked to the bench?

2) whats the rationale for not going for a 2 for 1?

3) do we run an offense?

 

[Knightmoves]

Teams of destiny find a way to win games like this. Maybe Cinderella found her slipper tonight.

Hope so. But this team has very little margin to win B1G games.

Great comeback win tonite. Hope we can follow up on it.

imagine if they were like RU fans Collins would be fired before they touched down in Chicago

I never doubted the win.
TBH- I got a text from a pal who was at the game at about 8:00-- forgot the game had started and turned it on in the middle of the comeback. Ignorance is bliss.

You don’t deserve to have any questions answered after your horrendous posts in this thread. Pike is literally the best thing that ever happened to RU Hoops since the 70s

Well its probably because you simply cant answer them, which is fine.

We are 1.5 games out of 1st in the toughest conference in the country with an HC who doesn’t run plays, doesn’t recruit well, substitutes terribly... am I missing anything... it’s a miracle on par with the parting of the Red Sea and The Immaculate Conception.
