Basketball LIVE THREAD/PREVIEW: Rutgers Hoops versus Michigan

[bac2therac]

Pike needs to make some adjustments

 

[PiscatawayMike]

We need to dig in on defense so we can go on a 6 or 8 point run

 

[rufeelinit]

Just too many subpar performances. Our defense leaves a lot to be desired. Need to get stops.

 

[FIJI'83]

Michigan‘s greater athleticism is the difference so far tonight. We desperately need someone to start torching it or we’re gonna come up short tonigh.

 

[jordkap]

The fact that they have 5 total fouls 29 minutes into the game is ridiculous. Us having only 8 is also ridiculous.

 

[RU848789]

It's time for Geo to step up - this is a game we really need him to be the Geo he can be

 

[RW90]

Need to pick up the defensive intensity. UM way too comfortable.

 

[jkernpop]

He was fouled

Still should’ve finished it sadly

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Guards getting it done for UM and now they will go back to Dickinson

Yes their guards are outplaying us.

 

[RUTrack94]

Play short handed = automatic win vs RU

 

[Scangg]

Can we beat Michigan on the road playing our C-/D+ game?

 

[Antnee79]

Damn this game is so winnable and we bring our C game.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Biggest defensive possession of the game coming up here. Don’t want to go down 7-8.

 

[cubuffsdoug_rivals]

You have to be 10 points better than the home team because any ref involvement will never be in your favor.

 

[FRA10Thunderbolt]

They need to step up the intensity for these last 10 minutes. They have not played this game with the intensity they did the last five games. They can’t afford to mail it in.

 

[Rokodesh]

Caleb and Ron need to pay the rest of the game. We're not gonna win with ice cold Geo and Paul, and Mag playing big minutes

 

[ColonelRutgers]

This game is on the verge of getting away from us. Down 5. Michigan with the ball. Real danger zone unless we up the intensity.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Version Indecisive Paul tonight. When is he gonna learn what works for him and stop being hesitant?
Whenever this team pauses with the ball we struggle.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Damn this game is so winnable and we bring our C game.

Yeah this effort ain’t it

 

[RU848789]

Unfortunate for Paul to have his worst game in a while. Sadly the refs played a major factor in that

2 of his 3 fouls were legit and the fouls have nothing to do with him turning it over 3x or missing easy shots or not hustling at times.

 

[FIJI'83]

We need stops

 

[bac2therac]

Ru only has 8 fouls called on them..stop with refs..pauls 3rd was all him

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Montez routine

Well he’s actually made 2 of them and got fouled on another. Stuffed twice driving and once on a midrange. Not sure his 3-7 is really the problem. Geo’s offense looks pretty awful today.

 

[RUJMM78]

Michigan has more players that can create shots off the dribble.They lead 52-45.

 

[koleszar]

He just chucked that at the basket it looks like one of those games.

Baker continues the no show.

 

[bac2therac]

Yup not matching them

Michigan feeling it

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Heaving crap up and it goes in. Hat toss

 

[jordkap]

This is easily the most frustrating game all year

 

[Rokodesh]

What the **** kind of stupid lineup is this

 

[RU848789]

We're in deep trouble

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

If we can’t stop them we can’t win. We won’t win with offense.

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

Lol. Okay we see

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Geo was fouled.

 

[jkernpop]

Welp

 

[cm_13]

I mean how does Geo not get a whistle there?

 

[Scangg]

2 of his 3 fouls were legit and the fouls have nothing to do with him turning it over 3x or missing easy shots or not hustling at times.

Sitting for extended minutes bc of a bad call could

 

[RUfromNJ]

Too many passengers tonight

 

[RUTrack94]

Game over …

 

[bac2therac]

Playing like ****

It was only a matter of time

 

[BillyC80]

Bufkin had his mind made up early that he was gonna shoot that trey.
