Basketball PREVIEW/LIVE THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Notre Dame

[zappaa]

We’re supposed to be a tough D
WTF

[IL Lusciato]

Refs got money on notre dame. We have an uphill battle boys. We can't play D how we want. These little leprechauns are gonna keep taking it to the hole untouched.

 

[koleszar]

What a horrible call on Caleb. Rewound it, he did not use an arm bar to push off. Defender simply stuck his leg in front of Caleb tripping both of them. That one was really bad.

 

[RUfubar_rivals]

I've never seen refs like this.
And I'm not one who blames the ref

 

[greenknight]

I'm not feeling the intensity

 

[GSGS]

I don’t know. Cliff looked as bad as Reiber on defense. We literally have no answer in the paint. Can’t stop them.

It's like they have 5 Kevin McHales in the paint.

 

[NickRU714]

****. Dinwiddie just hit a 3 at the buzzer to beat the Nets.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

We have to figure something out on defense

 

[FIJI'83]

Cliff for some reason can’t defend Atkinson. Reiber going to have to play extended minutes which is going to gas him. Enter soon the great Ralph G. Agee to the rescue.

 

[brookdale-soda]

This is the worst defense I've seen us play. Better pick it up.

 

[Plum Street]

Not rocket science guys . We selling out to defend the 3

 

[ScarletLongIsland_rivals]

Get Miller out. We can’t afford to play 4 on 5. Cmon pike, wtf

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

We’re supposed to be a tough D
WTF

Sometimes just because we play slow, it looks like we play good D.

 

[KingOfTheEast]

We're a tough watch on D right now

 

[richthedentist]

They have like 20 points in the paint

 

[zebnatto]

Pretty good game all in all.

 

[RUFanlivingNC]

We should be down by 8-10points McConnell saving us

 

[JudgeSmails56]

Typical bad calls against us.. refs make it impossible. Our guys get hit and no calls.

 

[greenknight]

2nd Cliff foul = screwed

Cliff goes for every single 1st fake 100% of the tine

 

[RUTrack94]

Not liking the flow of this game so far … ND playing at a high level shooting 68% … they can’t keep up this Villanova/Georgetown shooting and will get in a funk … close game all things considered.

 

[ScarletDave]

1 foul called on Notre Dame 7 mins to go. Seems right. COME ON REFS

 

[bac2therac]

Is ND playing differently than they did this season on offense?

 

[ejgonz]

They’re more athletic and quick than I expected.

 

[Roy_Faulker]

It’s gonna take a bit to settle down. I don’t think there is a team in the BIG that is as active as this ND team…everyone is running.

 

[RU-Esq]

Atkinson averages 12 and already has 10 and missed a couple FTs. Then again Caleb is going off too

 

[JudgeSmails56]

Brey has great tits

 

[RUby RED]

Get Miller out. We can’t afford to play 4 on 5. Cmon pike, wtf

Trying to establish some defensive intensity. Can’t have him playing major mins but I didn’t mind it for a minute or two

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

All Caleb. Thank you king

 

[DHajekRC84]

We are not forcing any turnovers

Getting out hustled and their movement and passing killing us.

 

[80RU]

I don’t like these announcers but they are right about the spacing issue. We just can’t double down on them.

 

[tfio]

Holy **** Caleb. Holy **** Hyatt.

 

[bac2therac]

Hyatt!

 

[Rokodesh]

What a stuff hyatt

 

[Degaz-RU]

We need to play zone. ND is getting to the rim at will

 

[jkernpop]

Keep it going to Caleb screw it

 

[NickRU714]

Hyatt bails out Caleb on defense.
First time that has ever been written?

 

[RUOtBOtOR]

Brey is a good coach. Obviously saw something on Rutgers D he could exploit and is making it happen.

 

[RW90]

If I'm the coach I tell them get that microphone out of here.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Harper!
