All around team effort tonight on both ends of the court.

Harper/Bailey were great and they had support from their teammates.

Big, big games from Martini and Grant. Ogbole very nice game as well.

It wasn’t always pretty but we just won on the road against a Nebraska team that hasn’t lost in 20 games!!!

Gotta bring it again on the road against PSU.

This young team might just be growing up before our eyes.

Boys becoming men.

this is the formula we need going forward. dylan and ace are both good for 20-25 a game and get two/ 2 to step up with double figures . tonight was martini and grant . doesn’t have to be them every night but if martini can start hitting open 3s ( or acuff) and grant can give us 8-10 and hustle we may be on to something. Ace and dylan are so good if it’s a close game you feel like they can score whenever we need to.

Big question is if we can just be average on defense and and not get killed on the boards ( tonight -2) we will have a shot in most games because of ace and dylan and hopefully two other secondary scorers

100%

Keep those rotations similar and always have either ace or Dylan out there. Should I never be a time when both are on the bench

Hopefully we’re watching them growing as men like you stated abd more importantly gelling as a team. Grant belongs as a starter.

Only thing I don't like about playing on other networks is that i get BTN+ to watch Rutgers replays and this was on FS1 unfortunately

Acuff just doesn’t look to me like a player who is comfortable in a complementary role. It’s not his game. When Dylan was sick he fell more into his natural score first role and put up some points. I’m not sure he can be the kind of player Martini was tonight. Even the ball rotations just don’t seem as crisp with him in there.

The staff made a concerted effort tonight to have at least one of Ace or Dylan on the floor at all times.

Starting lineup and substitution patterns last 2 games have been breath of fresh air and very good.

They were better overall, but I’m not sure why Latham was sent out in the second half. He was not good today.

Fox Sports app has full game replays. I’ve rewatched games on there on a few occasions

Don’t forget about Ogbole’s 11 rebounds. Hugely important in this one.

I must need to rewatch this game because all I saw was him getting lost on defense the whole night, kind of in no mans land. Yes his rebounds were big especially a couple at the end of the game.

We all knew the team will only go so far as Ace and Dylan carries it. Tonight, they did. Can the team win if even just one has an off night ?

Would suggest the day after typing in to YouTube “Rutgers Nebraska basketball full game” and sorting by 20+ minutes, it usually will come up. Eventually it’ll prob be deleted but there’s a fair amount of our games on there already

Every one of our guys got burned on D, including Ace and Dylan. Manny found a way to contribute, especially at critical times when big plays were needed. Massive rebounds tonight.

Ogbole played 24 minutes tonight, which is probably his high for the season. We have two centers when we play a team with any size, both have to play.

Add the Grant/Martini combo at the 4 spot RU now has a solid diversified front line
