Basketball Michigan beats Rutgers at MSG

[Richie O]

Michigan Hoops takes down Rutgers inside The Garden

 

[bac2therac]

Harper/Geo no show and then lack of discipline torpedoed us

 

[jvgrad02]

We suck from the line and have no pure shooters. Baker and Harper were a no show.

 

[King of S]

Time to go get a beer to drown frustration.

Winning four more will take a miracle

 

[RUTrack94]

Wow ... RU took 83 shots ... UM took 47 ... how can you take 36 more attempts and lose ... is that differential in shirts attempted a record?

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

It really wouldn't be a Rutgers season without heartbreak.

 

[Scangg]

Stop

 

[greenknight]

If I can say one thing....you NEED to show up EVERY game not when you feel like it.

 

[bac2therac]

espn ******* up the game stats now they dont even a box up

I bet UM took more good shots than RU. Because most of our shots were awful.

without looking.. I'd guess the number of shots in the paint to foul calls and free throws ratio is a surprising number

 

[MadRU]

Gave ourselves a shot down the stretch. Too big of a hole. This hurts.

 

[bac2therac]

unfortunately Maryland is next...big guy and guard combo which we struggle against. Lost a perfect opportunity for a road win

 

[jerzeyguy]

Michigan is better than their record and a tough matchup for us. Actually thought we'd lose a close one -- but damn it still hurts

 

[BOCA93]

Lmao, Juwan Howard just told Andy Katz he didn’t realize Rutgers arena was called the RAC. Hopefully RU brings a better gameplan to the rematch

 

[bac2therac]

its absolutely insane...ive never seen something like this ever...and the offense rebound and rebounding stats..if you look at all the stats except for made shots, you would have said RU won by 20 plus

espn ****ing up the game stats now they dont even a box up

Their score has gone backwards over the past five minutes though the clock keeps advancing.

NBC hasn't been up-to-date on the score for the past half hour. And it also goes backwards in scores from time to time.

So, is it over? And was the final score 67-66, which was the most points that showed up on ESPN's scoreboard, though just briefly?

Thanks.

So what.

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

36 more shots. I’m in complete amazement at that stat

 

[ancienthooper]

Incomprehensible we had a bad game and didn’t run the table.

 

[richthedentist]

They need to make shots if we shoot 40% we win this game going away

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

we are called 21 fouls on their 47 shots.. for 16/24 FTs
they are called 12 times on out 83 shots for 3/5 FTs

And they went 9/18 from 3.. we went 6/24.. so even if you remove the 3 point shots from foul calls and free throws stats... its still bad.. refs just did not see a need to cal a shooting foul on Michigan.. despite all our play in the paint

 

[RUboston]

RU went into the half with a 1 point lead and the momentum, but M came out of the break and went on a run. What went on in each locker room at the half? That and some unnecessary panic 3 point shooting at the end did us in. Really needed this one and could have had it.

 

[Luvscarletknights]

We all need to relax. First game under the Big lights at MSG for many. They adjusted at the end but it was too late. Sometimes you have to lose to learn. I do not think Michigan wins the rematch at RAC.

 

[bac2therac]

Michigan one basket...a busted wide open 3 the last 9:17 of the game

 

[RUsince52]

We made them look better than they are. But they deserved to win and they had a good plan. Simpson had 10 assists and he made it look easy. Of course, we helped, but they converted the shots too.
Such a big difference when they make a 3 with one chance and we constantly miss them. Gave up too many easy dunks/lay ins.

this team didnt learn from Iowa and Ilinois though...all 3 games were tied or one possession under 2 minutes and they havent broke through...and its because the offense in all 3 games was atrocious and 2 of the games the defense didnt show up until the last 9 minutes

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

I noticed at the end, few players were wearing the special Tuskegee shoes... did, maybe, some change them at halftime? Or did players decide if they liked them or not before the game?

Would hate to think...

..it was the shoes

 

[Luvscarletknights]

We have not been blown out in any of those games. Yes mistakes happen but we have a chance to always win. Kept Nebraska and Purdue from beating us. Win.some....lose some.

Never thought our record would be this good so enjoy the success.

 

[King of S]

Official attendance-13,100. Little disappointing considering a Saturday and the good season we’re having.

It keeps getting more ridiculous and yet there are still some who don’t believe and say it will all even out/coincidence

I agree at times that the fix is in.....yet the players still compete and do not quit. Still had a chance today.
